Hi all,
Thought I'd take the plunge and set up a new thread for us...never done it before so hope it works.
Will be back later to update properly, have busy day as DH is off on a track day on his motorbike and DD1 has already been driving me insane, it has only just gone 9am!!! xx

Gah Arthurs first night in the big boy bed tonight (cot bed without the sides). I have been dreading this day but he was getting a bit casual about climbing out of the cot 
I have an old stair gate across his bedroom door so he can get out of bed all he wants but he's not getting out of his room! I think its going to be a looooooong evening! It makes me doubly excited to be going out on Monday and leaving the bedtime to my dsis

Yes I told him but a couple of hours after he got home - got to be honest, it wasn't a moment for the baby book! I showed him my pee stick and he was very confused bless him. His first words were "oh, so you're pregnant" followed by "its a bit weird you waited until now to tell me" Erm.. well you've been farting about unpacking your suitcase and filling the laundry bag.
My dsis full on broke down in tears at lunch (in public) though! She does appear to cry at the drop of a hat though.... Only told my mum and dsis so far (oh and most of mumsnet, although obviously you lot were first )
I have joined the Feb 2013 thread but not really feeling it at the moment as it mostly seems to be a puke-off, and I, thankfully, am not puking!
Fingers crossed you get a bfp soon Loz. I started winding dh up in IKEA on Saturday that all the families in the restaurant had 3 children..... This is supposed to be our second and final child....
Suppose I should mention that A is good - doesn't shut up and is obsessed with anything with wheels. Must eat, sleep and drink with a vehicle in his hand or be sat peddling one.

Hello lovely ladies 
Well I (hesitantly) think that Ruby has come out the other side re tantrums. She seems much calmer and able to communicate more which helps. She has us in stitches most days, she loves wearing hats and sunglasses inside (!) and is a little whirlwind.
Emmy on the other hand is as placid as anything, she is so smily she just melts my heart. If i wasn't pushing 40 (well 36 this year ) and we hadn't decided this is our lot, i'd be tempted to try for another!
Well its raining here (again) so we're in for the day but im going on a hen night tomoro, am tired just thinking about it, im in bed by 930 most nights 
.
Hope everyone is well!

Yes! We've been in the park with friends, L is currently conked out in buggy and the older one is snuggling with me on the sofa! Sooooo windy though!
How is everyone? L is definitely firmly in the terrible twos and has already perfected the art of the "flounce". Funniest thing is trying to make her laugh when she's trying to have a strop!!

Wow Sam, is that contract for your DS?? Very exciting news no wonder you're a proud mummy!!
Lozario, congrats on school news, bet that's a huge weight off your mind, hope L is better too and spots all scabbed over so you can get out and about oh and if you're cracking open the wine have a glass for me too please, seriously missing it right now!
Trying most things to get this baby out....feels like its moved further in if anything, probably been hearing Angus' tantrums and decided it would be nicer to stay in my tummy! Mind you I had him on the fifth day after due date so today could be the day??
Starting to get slightly anxious about the thought of having 2 children and the practicalities as well (bit late to worry I know!) ....anyone have any last minute words of wisdom for me?? Have already bought a present for A from baby but I'm not convinced he's going to let me get away with it that easily!!

Fingers crossed highland that baby makes an appearance sooner rather than later. Poor A with his tonsills!
Sam & Loz yes I am moving to Splott! Have you ever heard of a dafter sounding place?
I am always on MN (currently stalking the diy boards) - Arthur is very neglected
