Mommabrown: sorry to hear you've been so sick. Hope you and LOs start to feel better asap.
Readytomum: I can't believe even how much your bump has changed since the last photo at 23 weeks! I don't see mine changin (I guess most people don't) so I wish I had taken more pictures!
Steph: I bought SOME newborn stuff (ours does up to 10lbs I think) but not a huge amount since I'm expecting baby to be huge lol! But if we need more I know my mum and SIL will happily shop up a storm for us!! If we have a boy then we are going to get a whole load of my nephew's clothes which, like you say, is good because it means you don't have to buy much, but bad because they have a VERY different style for my nephew than I am into!!!
AFM, I don't know if you remember I told you about a girl at new Year who commented that my bump was massive and the baby could be a hermaphrodite?! Well, I was at a thing last night and she was there and annoyed the heck out of me. She thinks because she is working in obs and gynae (this is her second year as a Dr...) she knows EVERYTHING. For example I said to my pregnant friend "oh i ordered my TENS" and this girl chips in out of nowhere "Oh my god, they are such a pile of crap." I was so cross, but managed to just say "well since everyone experiences pain differently, and I know they've worked for many women, I won't be sending it back just yet" and then she went on and on about not getting an epidural. Now I hope I don't need one, BUT my friend wants one, and she was making her feel awful for even considering it I just find her so irritating. Yes, she has delivered many babies, but she has never been an expectant mother, and never given birth, so really her experience is limited IMO!
