Joshua is sleeping in his cot in his own room for the first time tonight!

Nothing to say really.. Just excited! I think his dad was more reluctant then I was and it's him he was waking up by being in our room!

Also I think he is very nearly about to drop his early morning feed - fingers crossed!

Very happy Jessica and Joshua 5wks 6days 

A lot of us like cooking or baking so I thought I'd make I post for us to share recipes on it. I know bb has a sec for this but well us uk girls tend to stick the uk part. I'm not sure if this has been done before or if it will hit off but I'm seeing some nice food being made on instagram and thought it be nice to share. Plus I want some new food to munch on xxx

Kittymendes and I are meeting at Costa coffee in the Peacocks Centre Woking this Fri 13th at 12.30.
Would love any others to join us!!

I'm having my 12 week scan on Thursday (very exciting!!) I've heard that u have to often pay for them. As we've kept this pregnancy quiet till the scan I haven't got anyone to ask how much they usually cost!
Just want to make sure I don't miss out!! How much did u have to pay for yours?
Btw I'm going to Singleton in Swansea. Thanks!! X

Went for my sweep today. Unfortunately my cervix is very posterior (high) still so she could not reach to perform sweep :-(
I have another attempt booked for Monday and my induction booked for 21st May if baby hasn't come on it's own. So disappointing!

Just wondering how many weeks you were when you gave birth to your first baby? Also did u have any labour signs? Keep getting told I will have her late as first time mums usually do  I am 39 weeks today xx

Right girls, there are quite a few of us due this week so thought I'd make a list of us and 'tick' us off as we pop lol!

As my memory is shocking at the moment, if you're due this week (4th April - 10th April) or before let me know so I can update our little list hehe. Something to pass the time anyway. Also let me know if you are booked in for a stretch and sweep or an induction date and I'll amend these too as we go along.
