bump that you already had 
xx
i'm just scared, you know? what if i can't do this.. xxxx
Many women have had babies unexpectedly... and many at YOUNG ages too. 
And they manage just fine! You will do whatever you need to do in order to take care of your baby and everything will turn out wonderfully, you'll see! xxxxx
how did you get to be so good at this?
I guess I should have been a psychiatrist or something...but who wants to spend 10 years in university? 
i tend to be the 'freak-out' girl.

Just had to catch up on 10 pages now i know why its so hard when we do all the tailking. My name is Phillippa. thanks for the advice on the rest of stuff for the babyDue#1-2010... I know this might sound strange but can I ask your name? It seems silly to keep calling you by "Due #1-2010" lol...
I have one of those bath thermometers, only its shaped like a turtle. I actually lent to my pregnant friend, since I hardly ever used it... so she could test the bath water before hopping in... since its bad to have hot baths while pregnant. So she still has it.
Ummm let me think of some essentials that I used all the time with my daughter(that you havent mentioned)....
-Baby Wash Cloths /towels
-Recieving blankets (good for when baby spits up)
-Onesies/sleepers
-Soothers (just because my daughter loved to suck on anything and everything lol)
-A musical mobile or CD player in their room to play soft music
-Baby swing (you don't NEED this right away but it works wonders when baby is fussy - I could put Kyree in it, turn it on... and she'd go to sleep!
-A carseat insert that zips up, to keep them warm
-Baby products (baby powder, baby wash, diaper cream, wipes, diapers)
-Bottle rack (to put sterilized bottles on to let them dry)
-Diaper Bag
I think those are the main ones... and neutral clothes are fine with me too! I dont want to buy anything NEW until I know what we're having!
And litteredhen... that's really sweet!A chandelier will look gorgeous in her room! There is something extra sweet about little girls! I wouldnt trade my little princess for ANYTHING in the world (goes without saying!) lol I was so happy when I found out she was a girl too... I always wanted that mummy-daughter relationship. This time, I really don't mind either way. I would LOVE a little boy, to have one of each... but another little girl would be just as precious!!!
i am getting really excited about my 20 week scan its 1week away tomorrow 
already got a really nice nappy bag Diaper bag which is blue in colour with flowers on one side, so if my OH took the baby out on his own at all he could have it the opposite way and just show the blue.Due#1 -so the popping candy workedfab will have to try that.
MommyKC - your statue is so nice what a lovely thing for your OH to have got you.
Littleredhen - I'm due on the 6th too and having a girl.
bump you already knew about
Aww Phillippa, what a very unique and pretty name!
And your diaper bag sounds cute! Good idea with getting one that hubby can use too. With my daughter, we bought a greenish coloured one so my hubby wouldn't feel out of place using it!
And Em... at least you're honest about it!
you make me feel better! just wish FOB cared as much as half the girls on here
you're right both of youu
but who needs men! xxx
and im sure you will
you're right both of youu
but who needs men! xxx
Phillippa - my name is Kate/Katie... I go by either!
And my bag came with a changing pad too... VERY helpful when you're out and about with bubs!
Serenity - you're right, many babies have the cord around the neck. I have actually heard the cord often wraps around the neck, and then unwraps, and then wraps, over and over throughout pregnancy. It's completely normal. There are tonnes of things that you can worry about in pregnancy but it's always best to stay positive!
