Advice

Impending parenthood brings all kindsof advice and support from people who have been there and experienced the ups and downs of becoming a mom or dad. I must say that despite what people say, on the most part I have welcomed all the advice and I would even say I am even thankful to be in a position where other people can pass on the benefit of their experience to me. There is so much to think about, it is so overwhelming, from how many nappies we will get through, to sleep training and the change of independence as free (although not single!) people to name a few...

All I can say is where would we be without you all? Thanks! The advice has been great and I hope that one day I can pass it on myself. You have all been so supportive and made me feel better when I have been sore and grumpy! What with Jackie, Shaun & James coming over earlier in the year we experienced the joys of a new 6 week old colicy baby, and Steve, Lydia and Cordelia's visit a couple of weeks ago, showed us the next stage of a 14 month old exploring the house and the garden and the taste of freshly grown daisies! Honestly its been great, it really does bring a new level to friendship. Thanks for the insight you guys!

So despite still growing (yes I can hardly believe it either), not being able to move, carrying a cushion everywhere with me and a strange addiction to ice-lollies I can't wait for the b-day. I just want to get on with everything now, and I want to meet the little person in my belly...

Thanks everyone, its great to know we have so much support!
