Its a......................

Okay, okay Steph and I have decided to put you all out of your misery and share the news with you so hey I did a pretty good job at keeping it hush, hush! It took 5hrs before I told any friend through txt messages yesterday but thats cause a lot of them were texting me with guesses and telling me I was teasing them etc! LOL

We are having a "mini me"!!! Yeap a wee girl is on her way! Yeah another girl for the girlie get togethers! Though the idea of providing Rhian or Jorja with a wee toyboy made me smile too! LOL Instead the three girls can be friends :) Bloody scary thought of another me running around this place - okay a mixture of the both of us obviously but if she is anything like I was as a kid god I am in trouble already!!!

But at least we know what colours to look at in the shops (not that we have been to any since the scan) or on Trade Me :) And I know at least a couple of people who are please to know what colour wool they can start using! LOL

We are also going through the name books which is lots of fun! God I can't believe some of the suggestions that are in those books though!!! Really scary!! LOL I'm gonna join the local library this week as well and start getting out books on childbirth and breastfeeding etc as money is getting tight and I can't really afford to keep buying books on TradeMe :) And then when I do find one that I really do like I can perhaps buy that one. And the library will be handy when I am parental leave as we sure won't be able to afford me buying things like books and it would be about 2kms away so it would be a nice walk on nice days.

Anyway, Jo has just txt me to say she is home as I left my jacket at her place on Thursday night after the Prenzel's party so we are about to brave the weather and head outside for the first time today! Yeap we have spent the whole day in the lounge with the heater on! Haven't even done any baking as we forgot to buy some more flour when doing the groceries so MIGHT stop and get some whilst out and then I MIGHT do some this evening but will see how I am feeling - have just had a 90 min snooze on the couch! LOL

Have a great week everyone and keep warm and stay safe.

Yay, a girl! Of course I'd say the same if it was a boy. Hasn't it been bitter this weekend?

Lynda said...

Oh, just what you wanted... a girl!! How fantastic that all is going well this time and that you will have a beautiful baby girl! I'm so excited.

There is something so special about little girls - boys too of course, but girls - hehe, it's fun to dress them up and stuff!

I have a fantastic book on breastfeeding - it was like my bible when Amelia was born, and I'm reading it again at the moment - it's by Sheila Kitzinger - I'll find out the name and let you know so you can look out for it at the library and see what you think. If you like it - I'd definitely reccommend finding it on trade me. :-) Actually, my favourite pregnancy book is by the same author (I'm a bit of a fan of her philosophy).

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I knew it was a Girl from your tone (excited!).

I can recommend books on Trademe too....the breastfeeding ones are good to have for a reference when/if things get tricky at any stage. They have a good re-sell value too so you end up not paying very much.
Also, speaking of Trademe. There is a Parenting Forum and ongoing breastfeeding support threads where you can get almost instant answers/encouragement etc from traders who are very experienced. Some have an association with La Leche League. There is also currently (just peeked) a "Mums Due In Novemeber thread"! Go to Trademe - Community - Messageboards - Parenting, if you're interested.

Good on you for planning to breastfeed. Your daughter will benefit in so many ways!

Congrats again Karen!

YAY a wee little girl.......how wonderful. I knew you wouldn't be able to keep it from us....hahaha! I have one or two baby books at home that you can have as I have finished with them (I think) *wink*. Glad to hear the scan went well and all is wonderful with little Miss.
Got any names you want to share with us??
