brett - yes (i am bias though!) I never did really worry about the 3 hour thinga nd I was fine and i HATED the coil!

Auld, yep am off to buy a tent and one of those UV swim suits and hat thing - he may have turkish blood but even DH burns in the 40+ degree summer heat!

Seriously thought I know you all have young babies but does anyone know where I can get a nice lightweight maxi dress from for the day times in turkey?

I don't even know what a maxi dress is.

I may give the three hour thing a go but am just really scared of ending up on the 'due April 2010' thread

Oh dear god, how negligent is my doctor!! He told me a 12 hour window.

BB, what colour? print/plain?
Monsoon have some.
Or there's this one in white (need to be sure isn't see-through, of course).

One here, but not sure if jersey is lightweight.
And I am not a fan of Boden...

I would love to be due april 2010

BB- have you tried asos

I go away two weeks tomorrow. I'm cacking myself and sooo excited at the same time

Auld- my husband doesnt do nappies but when pushed ie I'm not there and in hospital or something he will do them. Hopefully yours will do them and feeds when it comes to the crunch then realise they're not too hard really

Another one here.Not sure about the pattern (or about BF compatability).

Maybe too heavy??

You wanted backless, I believe? But a bit synthetic?

Right, RL calls...

brave going for backless. I couldnt go braless

just added more pics to profile

Thanks all have ordered two from ASOS (although size 10 and 12 - think I am kidding myself that I will be able to get into the 10 before I go though, although one is stretchy!!!!) here and here and am going to order the backless one from Laredoute - not sure it it's a bit little house on the priarie esq but will try it on (will be wearing them over bikini's so not worried about braless) although have a question - what do you do about breast pads while on holiday?

Wow bronze, he's so different now - so big and awake -look at your lovely family! not surprised you want more!

ok then brave wearing a bikini

I bet you look fab actually. I feel huge. I know logically I'm not but I've always been a skinny minnie but this time it hasnt just fallen off like last times an dI may have to break my never going on a diet thing

thank you I think my family are pretty fab too but some may say I'm biased

is it me or do they look the same
Jamie
and Issac top pic

Isaac-- must just point out I can spell his name

Oh, Bronze, goegeous pictures. Can't see the fb one, cos you're not my friend, apparently...
New photo on my profile, proving A does sleep in his Amby sometimes.

goegeous????

A has done nothing but sleep all day. Has been awake for just 2 spells of an hour and a half.
Starting to wonder... does osteopathy do this?

I've heard it does
A must think hes superman

tell you what do they do ambys for adults

I cant invite you on facebook you'll have to invite me

I fancy one, too, Bronze!

x-posts!
have invited you, bronze

auld he's got so big he's like a little man and bronze YES YES he does! Going to upload some pics now...

BRonze, although i have lost a fair bit of my baby weigh from my tummy my thighs, hips and bums are still huge and everything just feels flabby iykwim - for example had a flat tight tummy and now I have a pouch! will take time to get back to normal - little steps!

bums - it is that big it's become a plural!!!

Puzzle - it depends which one you are on. Cerazette does have a 12 hour window. Unfortunately it makes me bleed constantly so that's also a no no for me unfortunately.

Bronze and Auld - respect . I think we should have a sweepstake on who will end up pg again first. Assuming I remember to take the pill on time it won't be me
