Welcome

Hiya everyone...

Thanks very much Jillian for setting this up. We are not really sure what to write and what you want to know. I assume that you are not bothered about my daily aliments - feeling like I could be sick and eat a sandwich at the same time, getting no sleep as I have to use the loo every 2 hours, sore knees, massive sore boobs, forgetfulness, feeling faint, I get heartburn from oatmeal, headaches and many, many more. It is a wonder that women do this over and over and over again!

We are counting down the days until the next scan when we hopefully find out if it is a boy or girl, depending on whether the baby obliges. We have about 3 weeks to go, at which time we will also be about 1/2 way through the pregnancy which is quite scary!! I want a boy (I think) and Martin wants a boy (take to soccer) / girl (look up to daddy). I guess we are happy either way and are just hoping for a healthy, sleep-through-the-night baby! We can dream!!

Madison is going to have the shock of her life when the baby comes. She is a very spoilt kitty! I am sure that Martin and I will have a shock as well so I suppose we can all be shocked together!

In terms of names, well the baby may be old enough to choose his / her own by the time we decide on a name. Suggestions welcome! Martin likes Harvey, Henry and Mason for a boy and Molly, Martha and Madison for a girl. Michelle has veto-ed all of these except Mason! Michelle likes Oscar for a boy and Marnie for a girl.

We have been trying to read as much as possible both on pregnancy and parenting but it is a minefield - millions of books, many of which contradict one another. Martin managed to find a book called 'Owners Workshop Manual' which is for Dad's and is written like a car manual. It is actually a really good book, describing and explaining everything from conception to 2 years.

I am really excited about being a Mum but still find it very strange that I will be a Mum. Especially because I will be a Mum to a Limey!

Well I will try to update this regularly if you would like me to. Not sure how often - what do you think Jillian?!

Hangin' tough, Michelle xxx


Martin here -
the flat is a mess, the cat is starving, the washing is piling up, i have to make my own dinner, and where's Michelle on the sofa moaning !! I dont see what all the fuss is about looks like a good excuse to do nothing to me.......just joshing. michelle is a trooper! I Love michelle so much and cant wait for our new chapter to begin. I am so excited!!!

    Well, It's about time you wrote something on here. I'm afraid you waited so long that people won't come back, I'll just have to let them know. I plan on chaning the Morphed image of what the baby could look like once I find a baby picture of Michelle. See the morphed image is an adult picture of Michelle and a baby picture of Martin which is why it looks so funny. Hopefully, I'll be able to change it soon. Anyways, glad to see you finally posted something. Hope all is well.
