Hooray congrats on scan angel!
Do you have any preference/thoughts either way re boy/girl? Bit confusing as boom says she usually gets it wrong yet she and merk agree this time- what could it mean?!!

Twinkle just to repeat my prev msg, congratulations! Think I've had a name change since you were last around
Anyway we've had some recent BFPs so there's some others on here not in a dissimilar place to you. And we all remember the early scary days so feel free to worry on here, we've been there

Congrats twinkle! Do come and do some mentalling with us we all remember the early days and how fraught they are, you're in good company!
Well I've started filling out forms and immediately given up. I'm amazed anybody claims anything at all, I hate stupid forms! Can't even fill in the one for maternity allowance as hr dept isn't answering phone. Feel like I've wasted an afternoon that I'll never get back!

By the way according to my calculations you are second in line after quod. She is due this week which will then mean you are next- unless you are still in denial about having an actual baby??

Must not spoil kitty's fun and tell her the heartbeats don't tell you the sex..must not...oh if you're going to give it a go though it's 140+ equals a girl. By this calculation both mine are team pink!
Don't think my Doppler is angel sounds, and it's not pink BOOO. But it was £20 from amazon and works perfectly well!
Squeeeee thunder's next!!
Wish I had a bacon sarnie again. Porridge in the staff room it is then...

I'm going to start chanting every morning...
Thunder is next, thunder is next, thunder is next...
Hopefully you will believe it soon.
Oh and I also hope all that wedding dress modelling you've done has given you some spare cash for baby stuff
