Jen - I have no idea what I am looking at when it comes to guessing at gender from scans but I hope you get your little girl. She/he is very cute already whatever they are!!
Lou - I really hope things get moving and you can have the birth at home. Thinking of you, wishing you an easy and smooth birth. So excited your litle man will be in your arms so soon!!
Hopeful - sorry you are feeling pants. I hope that you can rest and stay hydrated and can shake this thing soon.
Fili - Have a fab trip!
Bumpy- What a fun way to tell your family! I forgot it was mother's day in the UK today...Usually I am better at keeping it on my calendar but this year it went totally out of my head. In the US it's not until May. Usually my mama gets celebrated twice, but this year she'll just have to wait until May! But we are thinking about getting our mums both the same ultra sound picture frames with a copy of our most recent snaps of the boy!
Hubs and I went away to a hotel Friday night and it felt so good to get away and relax. Even though it wasn't far it felt like a million miles. We went walking on sme trails while the sun was still out and then later went to dinner and then got ice cream delivered room service (it was a freebie so we snapped it up!) We ate ice cream in bed and watched a bit of TV, talked a lot about baby names and then ell asleep. We went to breakfast in the morning which was fabulous, my fave meal to eat out. And by the time we came home it felt like we had been away for ages longer than one night.
It did us the world of good. Just to be away and reconnected. Now that the basketball 'madness' has started I have to compete with the TV and the sports networks so it felt good to have had that good time together first!
No classes this week just finals. I so need this break...wish it was longer but I'll take it.
