HI Ladies

Hope you are all well, lavendar it all sounds very promising hope you get a BFP so very soon!!

Who else is testing too?

We live in a three bed semi (feel very sorry for my neigbours!!) Three boys share a room but DS1 who is 8 keeps asking for his own room, dd has her own room, I would like to either move or extend but both options are incredibly expensive, we did convert the garage to a play room and so I supose in a few years time when DS1 is older I'd maybe let him have it but I'd be nervous about him sleeping away from everyone else!! There is a five bed house gone up for sale just around the corner from us for 179,999 started out at 205,999 and even thats unheard of trying to figure out why its so cheap!! Most four bed houses are at least 225,000, it did start out as a 3 bed but has been extended, its the first on a cul de sac off quite a busy road and close by to some shops so may be thats why its so cheap?! Thing is if I had a 5 bed I'd probably end up with another baby feeling so broody at the min!!!

My boys have their own rooms but prefer to be together top and tailing in the bottom of the bunk bed! Very cute and totally up to them. I think baby will go in ds1s bedroom but as that's the box room dh has built a cabin bed over the slope of the stairs so the bed has to stay. If I moved I would have room for another baby! But I really want another living room. I am looking at a place where they have converted the garage and extended it along the side of the house. Oh to have a adult sitting room and a family living room!! But who am I kidding - it would be more room for Lego...

lots of housing chatter DH and I are just renting. We're in a 3 bed house and we'll move the boys in together when the time comes - they are currently in seperate rooms. Over here most houses are single storey. Would love our own house but its just hard while I'm not working and we need at least a 3 bed place.

We were discussing boys names the other day (again!) and we are stumped. I think we're running out of names that we agree on. I've decided we're having a boy by the way. We have a while before we have to seriously think about names!!

Just booked our summer holiday - we're going camping by the beach towards the end of Jan. Looking forward to it. The boys will love it.

its 8.30 and Ernie is STILL asleep! He was up at 4am for an hour and kept getting up! arghh. I'm up early still because Percy woke up at his usual 6.30am :P DH never gets up in the night to deal with the boys! Grrrrr....

oh and hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!!!! No plans here... Funnily enough nobody wants to babysit on new years eve... and I think I'll want an early night What a party animal I am these days....

Omg I'm so tired, we went to my dads girlfriends for dinner last night, Charlie was running round the whole time he had a great time, didn't get back till after 10, I put him straight to bed and he had an awful nights sleep! I ended up on the boys bottom bunk because dp was snoring so bad, only had a silly blanket because he decided to walk the dog and not keep her out the kids room where she decided to plonk herself on the quilt on the bed.
So I've had about 3-4 hours sleep and I'm in a great mood! Happy days!
I'm going to wake dp up I can't take it.

Kell Definately get him up!!!

I'm quite fortunate with my DH he does get up to the boys but thats because I get up to DD who is an awful sleeper, always has been has never slept through yet and she is 19mths soon!!!

ARGHHHH!!! lost my post!!!

I'm in a 2 bed detached bungalow/cottage type. Huge garden thankfully as we are on the main road full of HGV traffic! Wasn't as bad as it is now when we moved here, or we both agreed we wouldn't of bought it. We totally overpaid for the house and now we have prob lost around 15-20K in 4 yrs, which is a shame as we put alot of the £ we made from our last sale to buy this place and now we will have to take what we get, thankfully won't be in -ve equity, but can't afford to increase our mortagage!! We have spend around 10k of our own £ doing up the house, which we won't get back either.

Z, both my boys have shared since they were 4 and 9mths and I wouldn't have it any other way as ds2 is a FAB sleeper having his big bruv in the room with him and hopefully the twins are the same! Ds1 was never out our bed, ds2 has rarely been in our bed unless he's unwell.

Well, my dad almost here. He's watchimg boys to let me sleep a while as it's Dh's b'day and we are going to see Puss in Boots later in 3d at the cinema (Dh's request..lol) Was nightshift.

Lavender, I think u'll get ur BFP! days ago u said u felt sicky and I remember thinking "ahh....she's pg" so FX a New yr BFP would be great!

Deaks when will you test?

Hope ur all well? Will pop on later after my snooze.... getting bleery eyes! xx

HUGS kell - i too had a crap nights sleep - DH woke me up twice to tell me he felt ill......??? DS2 then woke up then ds1 and inbetween being woken up found it hard to get back to sleep as all i can see is that bloody penis looking like thing i saw on my scan.......I cant see that turning into anything girl like, am gutted i saw it i didnt think it would be at all obvious this early on

Happy new year to you all what's everyone doing today? we haven't got much planned at all, and dh's parents haven't offered to babysit as per usual even though i know they haven't got any plans. so it will be a quiet evening for us. Thinking of buying some fireworks to let off tonight with the boys, but no other plans

We live in a 4 bed town house (new build) which we rent and my 2 boys share a room. We do have the space for them to have their separate rooms if we wanted to but they love sharing a room and sleep so much better because of it. DS1 always used to have sleep problems until we moved ds2 into his room and now they both sleep soundly every night. I know most people think i'm crazy when i say this, but we've decided to let dd share room with the boys as well for the first few years, simply because I think it's made my boys feel so much safer at night not sleeping in a room on their own and besides, they have so much fun and i wouldnt want dd missing out just because she's a girl and they're boys.

charlie - try not to stress yourself about it. Although I'm being a bit of a hypocrite as I did that after my scan. Although after posting my video everyone said boy and there are 2 really clear boy nub shots :P hence I'm convinced I have a boy. If all you saw was a potty shot... don't stress. Its WAY too early to use potty shots as an indication of gender. Look at this site... the pictures of the bubbas genitals look soooo similar at 11 wks pregnant!!

Oh dear - sounds like there are a lot of tired people here today!!! Hope some of you manage to get naps!!

Anyhews - happy new year to everyone... only just over 3 hours to go here
