Fan-flipping-tastic! Hope you can relax now and look forward to having your sweet little boy in the New Year. Will he be April or March? My birthday is April 16 so I am naturally biased 
Hope you are having a lovely time, Vag. NY would be nice though. When's he back?
The day at home yest really restored my sanity though I woke up feeling hungover this morn despite not having a drop of alcohol yesterday 
Looking forward to party in London tonight (assuming no spots appear on DD2)...whenever we drive in, as soon as we reach the fringes of W London I just feel like I am going home. However much I accept, even enjoy, living where we are now, I will miss town forever. Ah well.
How did the move go, Nolda? How far are you from where you were? I don't like moving, I find it horrendously stressful, but the one thing that would persuade me to move from here is that the coal burner just seems so dirty and I feel it's blackening our lungs quite as much as living by the Westway would be. Anyway, moving is not an option for us at the moment.
I wish you all a magnificent New Year, brilliant girls, if I don't get on later.

Just wanted to say Happy New Year everyone!!!
I am sorry to see 2012 go really. It has been brilliant, got married and had Rosalie.
Hopefully this time next year I'll be about 6 stone lighter, have a driving licence and a new house!!
Love to all of you!! You're all smashing!!

Woo!! DS2 was dry all night. First time ever, he's so pleased with himself.
I've hurt my back 
everyone is about to take the dog out but I'm having to stay at home as I can't climb the stiles. Boo hiss.

Well done DS2 on the pull-ups kayz. Lovely when they're finally out of nappies isn't it (not to mention all the cash you save ).
ZJ so are you definitely done at 2? No chance of a DC3 in 2013? And how has being back at work been after mat leave? I could do with some more mat leave myself but that ship has long past sailed for me unfortunately.
sybs result on MIL staying away. Hope you get what you wish for in 2013.
Have just got off the scales and have managed to put on 4lbs in the last 10 days so I guess that's my new year's resolution sorted out.
DCs still asleep after their late night!
Well mumsnet has finally done an android app but I'm afraid it's not the answer to my prayers I'd been hoping. It's taken me bloody ages to write this post so back to the PC for me. I hardly go on the PC anymore though so I can't imagine my posting rate is going to be much better in 2013
DCs starting to stir...

So Christmas and the curse of the relatives is over for us all.
How are your heads on this fresh new year'm morning?
We were very boring, just another day.
I hope all the poxed ones are improving and we can all face the new year with a little pleasure at least.
I hit rock bottom on the sleep front a few days ago but let off some steam on another group (
I know I'm a traitor, this was my local la leche) so I think I've got over the hump and can press on until he either sleeps or I hit the next dip.
This is the year I start my degree folks. Time are changing. Last year was my last year of being a SAHM and having babies. Last year was the last year I was always available to scraped knees, school run, reading books and homework. Toddler groups and baby groups and daytime meets with friends. Ahead comes a heck of a lot of hard work, a lot of missing my children until we settle into our new routine but hopefully a lot of satisfaction as I make my way towards a career that I will, fingers crossed, spend my life in. It may not seem all that much to a lot of you but ds1 came along before I had started work so at the grand old age of 29 I have yet to work as an adult apart from a spot of English teaching and various shitty studenty jobs.
Arti that's great news on the scan, I'm glad you can look forward to the arrival of your wee boy now :)
Kayz that's great that ds2 was dry, lets hope he has cracked it!
PD that's some great epic posting! Hope you had a good night!
Nolda how is the house move?
LadyT I hear you on the number 3 decision. It is hard. Like you I had very strong feelings about it and they wouldn't go away. When I was out with the dcs I was always looking around for a 3rd when it came to rounding them up an dI'd have to remind myself that he didn't exist. It felt very, very right when we decided to TTC and I became pg with ds2. He is fabulous and the big ones adore him. Time will tell how he fits into the little unit they make once he is walking and talking and joining in their play. I do look forward to being out of the baby stage though, what I enjoy about the big ones is being able to do things together and enjoy them together rather than always doing things for them.
Well I should press on and have a shower or something, I've just finished breakfast having gone back to bed this morning after being up with screamy for a few hours.
