This is our third and we are shocked! I won't bore you with the details but this pregnancy was meant to be. My husband was also scheduled to get his vasectomy but due to a friend of his that has one first, and it going quite badly, he backed out of his and HERE WE ARE! There goes the guest room!

We were just so set on not having anymore that even though I am at 12 weeks I still freak out everytime I think about the fact that we are going to have another. I have a four year old and a 1 year old already. Our youngest will only be 21 months when the third one is born. We are going to have our hands full. But we love our babies more than anything in the world and have no doubt this one will be the same.

Also, I am quite lucky because a good friend of mine is also pregnant and has a due date 8 days before mine. She tends to go late and I tend to go early so who knows....

Congratulations to everyone...

Oh I beleive it, we barely go out as is now that we have Lucas and I conned my mom for babysitting him one night so DH and can go out of town and do some sighseeing at the ocean. Should be nice, but DH is also busy with working on an addition to our home because of a baby on the way LOL

Hello!
Shame - I missed Jon Bon Jovi on TV. I will have to keep a look out to see if it ever makes it on to TV again! I will keep you posted if I ever plan a trip to visit NJ (LOL). Not sure I will ever be able to either afford it or convince my husband that it is worth the money to visit, but who knows! I have lots of 'things I must do when I retire', so perhaps that will be one of them!!

I had a look at some pictures of the Sprint Center. It looks like an amazing building - really modern. The other places nearby look to be very modern buildings too. It reminds me of the city area in London. It must be quite a vibrant place to work.

You have 4 older brothers and sisters - wow! I think big families are great, just not sure that I could manage to look after so many children myself!! Do you think you will stop at 3 or would you and your husband like to increase your number further? Its so sweet that you met the love of your life when you were 18 and that you have been together since. I can understand you wanting to study locally. I think that the trend in the UK for Higher Education will definitely go that way...I don't see how students will afford it otherwise. I will be encouraging my kids to stay nearby if they want to take a degree. By the way, do your brothers and sisters still live fairly close by?

I was 19 when I met Antony. I was studying for my degree at the time. He is 5 years older than me and was already working. We met at a housewarming party of a mutual friend and just hit it off straight away. He proposed to me 3 months after I met him, much to the shock and horror of my parents. We got married 18 months after meeting - again there was much disapproval from my family as I got married on my 21st birthday, 10 days after graduating from Uni. Its hard to believe that all of that happened 16 years ago now!!!

I have been catching up on American politics a little bit as I felt ashamed by my lack of knowelge

My husband was very impressed when I mentioned to you how knowledgeable you are about UK politics. He was amazed that you had heard of Gordon Brown! He is much more up-to-date with current affairs and takes a very keen interest in the news. Much as I feel embarassed by my lack of knowledge I think it just demonstrates who has the most spare time for watching/listening to the news (LOL!) He reads up on a lot of news stories on the Internet during his lunch hour at work.

Anyway, it looks as though Obama has won the democratic vote, if I have been reading the right information! So, I am presuming that you will be pleased. It would be quite a major turning point in American politics to have a black president. What happens next? Has he been elected to president already or is there another stage in the process - see, this is where my lack of knowledge shows!

I have been busy baking cakes this week as well as everything else as I am helping at our local school summer fair on Saturday. I offered to help on the cake stall (seemed like the best place to be LOL)! I will have to have a good breakfast so that I am not tempted to eat more than I sell! I baked some extra ones so the girls were happy tonight!

Its going to be a busy weekend with the summer fair tomorrow and then I am at work on Sunday. The University term has broken up now so thankfully work isn't as busy as it was, but I seem to have quite a lot of things to tie up before I finish in 6-7 weeks. I must admit I am looking forward to the school term finishing and my holidays starting!!

I hope you are having a good week, well I should rephrase that and wish you a happy weekend as it is almost the weekend (AGAIN!!)

Take care, love Valerie x

Haha it sounds alot like us when we drink too.. Except I find somthing to throw at him, a few times it was a wine bottle, another time a pot, with the pot i kinda missed and it went right into the wall and stuck out nice and straight, That really made the fight stop and i was on the floor pissing my pants off. I used to have the big temper when I would throw whatever I find nearest and he would always just try to duck, its kinda funny looking back at the stupid fights you do have, we havent had a fight in a long time, just a bit of bickering but what couple doesnt bicker LOL

I find my DS very moody as well, if he doesnt get his way he makes fists and screams, and hes only 14 months old! HAHA it is definatly a male thing, cause im not usually like that, HEHE

wake77 - Friday, 6 June
i am with you on being angry, im yelling and snappin at evryone and its pretty bad, im gladi m not the only one,

daniandbebe08 - Friday, 6 June

you the simplest things you think get you triggered and GOOD too!

I still remember most of the fights with DH and it was because I would BLOW up over nothing. I even got to the point where I scared the crap out of myself. I literally (in front of guests I might add) gave DH my wedding rings, told him off, and told him to give the rings to his next victim. I also left for a few hours! Now its all a joke towards us but if he were to joke about it when I was pregnant with DS I would have flipped.
A friend of mind got mad at her BF because he wouldnt answer his cell phone when he was at work, so she threw ALL of his stuff over the balcony of their appartment, she was on bed rest too! And what do you know, she had a baby boy. Its amazing what differences with the type of gender. Alot of people dont agree but even my DH told my friends that I am WAY easier to cope with this pregnancy! LOL

Youll get the hang of it, and dont feel bad over the hormones... Just make sure your girls are aware that mom isnt always the nasty person that they have been seeing lately

daniandbebe08 - Thursday, 5 June
With my last pregnancy I was the same way, I snaped at EVERYTHING and it took me a while to get over the little things. there is no control in what you can do, maybe try and take things extra slow so things dont get you to the point of no return.... Are you expecting a boy or girl? I heard with girls you get pretty crabby, but that is not the case with me and a few of my friends, We all find that we got VERY crabby when we are pregnant with boys. Im pregnant with a girl now and so far Im not even CLOSE to what I was like before! *sigh in releif* I hope all the best and hope you find a happy spoit somewhere, maybe talk to your girls and try to make them understand mommy isnt the same mommy right now, It would be hard for the youngest but at least you can try to express it a different way wit her by showing her mommy can be nice too :)

KarenVG - Thursday, 5 June
I am with you with thinking I need anger management! Just hang in there and keep saying sorry to the girls! It is supriseing how quick the anger comes over such stupid stuff...I wonder if my kids are going to need therapy after this pregnancy is over!!!!!LOL

preciousangels2 - Tuesday, 3 June
Thanks a ton because I'm dyng over here! Just about 39wks pregnant and CAN NOT stand this heat! And it's that time of the year when most places have a waiting list. I remember when I hit the 21wk point. Seems like it was just yesterday! Anyway, thanks again! I'll remember the mention that when the call me back. Hopefully they call soon!

Navy0Wife - Tuesday, 3 June
I am the same way with the water. I have been adding crystal light lemonade or drinking decaf tea or Propel. Weird, right?

KellysBabyBelly - Tuesday, 3 June
I have had problems drinking water too. For some reason I can drink semi cold water like out of the tap, but not cold water out of the fridge. Since I haven't been drinking as much water my belly has felt "dehydrated" and zits are popping up everywhere on my face.

sparklyval - Monday, 2 June
Hello! Oh yes, I am SOO excited about the forthcoming Bon Jovi concert. I have been a big fan of theirs since I was 15 - so, over 20 years. Now that sounds scary! Its a shame that you didn't get to see them when they played locally, they always put on such an amazing show! I have been lucky enough to see them play every couple of years or so - normally I manage to get to one of their tour dates each time they visit the UK. My friends think I am crazy! Especially as I would like to visit the band's roots in New Jersey - people keep telling me that NJ is not high on the tourist destination list for the States! Oh well, I don't mind being different!!

You have got great qualifications from your time at Uni. Is it usual to study locally when you take a degree in America or do most people move away from home? We have very few local students in Lincoln. Almost all the students in the UK leave home and take up residence in a different city to study for their degree. That was true of me also - I left home at 18 and studied at Hull University (about 4 hours by car from my home town), and then after working for a couple of years I took an MSc in Information Management at Sheffield University (about 3 1/2 hours from my home town). Leaving home to study was a good way of becoming independent very quickly! Unfortunately the cost of studying at University in the UK has risen dramatically over recent years and so I wonder whether in the future more students will choose to study in their home city?

I totally agree with you about global inter-reliance and connection between countries. I think that is even more the case in the UK as we are a small densely populated island. I worry about the future our children are going to have and their children ahead of them. I think they will find that life is much different than the kind of life we have. I try not to dwell on the future too much as it makes me feel a bit depressed. I just hope that things will change for the better over time.
At the moment we seem to be on the brink of a major recession. We have seen, like in the US, major falls in house prices, turmoil in the financial markets and massive increases in the cost of petrol, gas and electricity. I honestly think that this is just the start of much worse. As fuel prices increase, transport and distrbution costs will rise, and then the cost of buying goods from the shops will go up too... and that is just scratching the surface! I am glad I don't work in politics as I get far too emotionally involved to be able to think rationally about sensible solutions.

Anyway, on a more positive note, I am feeling good, although very huge these days! I keep wondering how big I am going to get after another 4 months of pregnancy! I feel and probably look like a big beach ball! It also amazes me that there are only about 18 weeks left before the baby is due...that is scary!

How are you and how was your weekend? I hope you are feeling well. Valerie

sparklyval - Friday, 30 May
Fireworks in May - that sounds exciting! I bet your little baby jumped! They are quite loud, although I wonder what things sound like from inside - you would imagine that everything is a bit muffled, so perhaps they weren't too bad! I am due to go and see Bon Jovi in concert soon (22nd June) - I am so excited! (I know, like a sad teenager!). I am sure the loud music will make the baby jump, so I have been listening to BJ loudly at home in preparation (any excuse is a good one!)

Its great that you were able to give away some of your girls things to the family near you. It is always so much better to think that things have gone to a good home - I am sure that they will appreciate the help. I bet the children were delighted with the princess dresses too, you are very kind! Our loft is bulging with the strain of 8 years accumulated girls clothes - this baby will have plenty of things to wear, for sure!

Politics isn't a strong point with me. My husband tells me off for not paying enough attention to the news. I can go for days or even a whole week without listening to the news or watching it, so I kind of lose track of what is going on in our country let alone anywhere else. You will have to forgive me for being so ignorant! Sounds terrible doesn't it! Most of the time the news just makes me feel depressed when I do catch up with it! I don't care much for any of the politicians. I am very disillusioned with the current labour party in the UK. They made a drastic change to the way that income tax is calculated by getting rid of a lower tax band at 10% and reducing the basic rate of tax. The net result of that is that the people in this country on the lowest incomes are now worse off (including me because I work part time) while the highest earners have seen an increase in their wages. So, I have witnessed my full time colleagues receiving an increase in their pay through taxation, while my money has been reduced. I am consequently feeling quite grumpy with the party and think I will write a letter of complaint to my local MP. No, I don't like Gordon Brown. I did like Tony Blair though, especially in the early years when labour first took power. I don't really care for the opposition leaders either at the moment. I think we will be due for an election in a couple of years time - at the moment I would struggle to know which party to vote for! Sorry for going off on one!

Where did you study your degree? I always find it interesting to discover what people have studied and whether it has had an impact on their career.

Well, I had better dash as I need to go and pick up my daughter from nursery and my husband will be waiting soon! I hope you have a good weekend. It is amazing how quickly the week goes past and before I know it I am saying the same thing again! Hope you are ok

BabyMomma1008 - Friday, 30 May
Thank you!!! Sorry it's taken so long to respond, it's been crazy...

Megan the lump maker - Thursday, 29 May
I knew a dog named atticus--lol. I didn't do the nursery until 8 months. It kept me busy towards the end. Also I didn't buy a thing--the shower took care of it all. Good luck with the name thing!

sparklyval - Monday, 26 May
Hello! I hope you have had a great long weekend.... have you been doing anything nice? On Sunday we had a big family party to celebrate Antony's Grandma turning 90. It was good fun although sadly Grandma has got dementia and her memory is so bad that she was very confused about who everyone was. Nevertheless Bethan and Kate were very excited about being able to wear their best party dresses and I am sure they drank far too much coke than is healthy or wise!! LOL They have gone swimming today with their dad as I am at work. Later we are popping to visit my in-laws who have just got a new puppy called Archie. He is 9 weeks old.....much more excitement for Bethan and Kate!

When do you go for your big scan? The pictures we got at ours were amazing...it is so lovely to be able to see the baby moving about. You must let me know how you get on. Try not to worry about everything being ok - you are still very young in terms of having children.

Names...it is always so difficult to think of just 'the right' name. Bethan's middle name is Rose. Kate's middle name is Lily and this baby is going to have Iris as her middle name. We are struggling more with the first name!! So far it MAY be Erin. For boys (if it had been a boy) we had kind of settled on Alfie or Harvey or maybe Adam. We like fairly short names as you can tell!

It is nice that you have found a colleague expecting a baby too! It is always good to have a chat with a 'real' person!! I am sure she will be pleased to have someone to ask questions to. She probably doesn't look pregnant yet because she is about 5 weeks behind you with her dates. I think you are right though about looking bigger with having a 3rd baby. I am still getting lots of comments about the size of my belly! Its a good job I am thick skinned and can cope with all the comments :0)

It was very sweet of you to suggest having your girl stuff - it made me smile to think of you buried under piles of pink clothes and dresses! A garage sale sounds like a good idea. Having a 3rd little girl will certainly cut down on a lot of jobs for me before the baby comes (like sorting through all of the clothes in the attic!!)
Have you bought anything for your little boy yet? It will be exciting hitting the shops to buy clothes in a different colour!

Hope you have had a great weekend. Talk to you soon xx

Navy0Wife - Saturday, 24 May
congrats on your son!

KarenVG - Friday, 23 May
OOOH! A boy... I have two girls and so badly want a boy it is crazy! I hope to find out next week!
I think I will somewhat disappointed if it is not a boy but can't change it!!!!
Well congrats on the boy!

sparklyval - Thursday, 22 May
Hi Sarah, thank you so much for writing back so quickly. It was so comforting to read your message - you have totally summed up my feelings exactly, and like you I think I would have felt both happy and disappointed whatever sex the baby is. You are so totally right about feeling sad about being done with that part of my life. I think I felt a bit deflated after the scan because I had been so excited about going to it today and it was such an amazing experience to see the baby on the screen. We could even see her drinking and putting her hand to her mouth. It was just incredible.

Deep down I knew that I would like another girl, so to save any potential disappointment I had focussed on hoping to have a boy, so that I wouldn't be sad if that was the case.

However, I remember how badly I wanted a sister throughout my life as I grew up surrounded by my 3 younger brother's toys in the house. I never had anyone to share clothes with or talk about boyfriends with and my mum was too busy with my brothers to be of much help. My youngest brother was born when I was 14 and I was horrified that mum was having another baby at that stage - especially when he still wasn't a sister. I vowed at that time that I would never have children myself...the whole having a baby around the house as a teenager was just so stressful!

Of course, feelings change as you get older. But I still don't have what I would call real closeness to my brothers now. I love them and enjoy seeing them, but I am sure a sister would have been different.

So, in exchange for my 3 brothers I will have my own 3 girls and they will each have two sisters and that will be a totally amazing experience. I hope you are right and that they will turn out to stay good friends as they get older. I hope too that they will stay good friends with their mum!

The most amazing thing of all is that the girls will have such a great dad....one that is prepared to plait their hair, take them to ballet and not be sad about not having a son to watch football with. I sometimes can't believe how lucky I am!!

Thanks so much for your re-assuring message. I feel so much better for having been able to write down how I feel and to read your reply! Take care, Val

sparklyval - Thursday, 22 May
Hi! Thanks for asking. I have only just got back from picking the children up after our hospital visit - sorry I couldn't write earlier.

Firstly and most importantly the baby is completely well and healthy. We had a very positive scan - the sonographer managed to check everything that she needed to and all the major organs etc have developed as they should have done. In fact it was quite amazing to see so much detail - at one time we could even see the lens of the baby's eye. The scan seemed so much clearer than when I had them done for Bethan and Kate. I guess that is the result of technological advances over 5 years or so!

Anyway, the news is that we are expecting another baby girl. The sonographer was quite sure it was a girl from the scan. I have come away with mixed feelings. I was really hoping that the baby would be another girl, but now that we have found out it is a girl I feel almost disappointed. It is really hard to explain, but I guess because we are not planning to have any more children, I am a little sad because I will never find out what it is like to have a little boy in life. Funnily enough my husband is delighted! He thought all along it would be another girl and is really happy. He has no reservations at all about not having a boy - even though he will be in a household of 4 women!

Practically speaking it is great as we are kitted out for girls in our house! Everything is pink and we have kept all of the girls clothes that we have and the toys are mostly girls toys. So in terms of finances, having a 3rd little girl will be much cheaper.

Plus we were struggling to think of any boys names. There are just so many pretty girls names out there.....
And also we only have 3 bedrooms, so another girl makes the sleeping arrangements much easier.

So, lots and lots of positives, but still this unexplained sense of disappointment, even though I wanted another girl!!!!
What do you think, have I gone mad!?
I hope you are ok, will write again soon, Valerie x

sparklyval - Tuesday, 20 May
I had forgotten that the scan picture had that written on it! Kate went with us to the first scan at 12 weeks and the sonographer wrote 'hello Kate' to say hello to her from the baby! She also did one the same for Bethan, so somewhere at home we have a 'hello Bethan' picture too. I think she was trying to involve her in the whole process because she seemed a bit bemused seeing the baby on the screen. When I go for the scan this week, it will just be me and Antony so the picture probably won't have anything written on it this time!

The red wine at the weekend sounds really good. I have only had one glass of wine since I found out I was pregnant and it was great!! I couldn't stand the thought of alcoholic drinks at all for the first 12 weeks - just the smell of beer or wine made my stomach turn, now I get to the weekend and I keep thinking how nice it would be just to have a drink or two!

Your comments about Ava made me laugh - she sounds so much like Kate. Kate loves clothes, shoes, bags and EVERYTHING pink! She is always asking to wear dresses or skirts even when the weather isn't good enough! She drives me mad sometimes. Her big sister has never been the same. Goodness knows what Kate will be like as a teenager. I will HAVE to work full time by then to keep up with the bill for the clothes for her!

I feel like you, that the baby has been growing quite a lot in the last week or so. Its amazing how a bump can appear from nowhere. Now it is impossible to miss the fact that I am pregnant! I am going to try to think up some witty replies to tell people when they make the 'are you sure its not twins' comments.
One of my colleagues at work is expecting a baby 3 days before me which is really strange timing. We were comparing pregnancy details today (its the first time I have seen her in several weeks). She doesn't look as big as me at all and yet her first baby was 9lbs like mine was. I guess women just carry babies differently...you expect everyone to be the same, but nature doesn't work that way. Its a shame that more of the general population don't recognise that fact!

Yes, Lincoln Cathedral is beautiful. We are very lucky - I think sometimes we don't really appreciate it. Quite a lot of UK cities have cathedrals like ours, so you just take it forgranted that you will come across them. Have you done any/much travelling? We have only been to a few places in Europe before we had a family. I wish that we had managed to see a bit more of the world...so many places sound much more exciting than the UK!!

Only two days until my scan now, I will write again after I have been to the hospital to let you know how things went. Take care, Val x

sparklyval - Sunday, 18 May
Hi! I so wish I had someone to help with the cleaning and I only work part time. I think you must be a super star! Even though I have had tues, weds and thurs at home last week, I still had so many jobs to do today (Sunday!). I just cannot imagine how I am going to fit in having this baby!! It is now 10pm and I have my mountain of ironing to tackle next...at least I can watch the tv while I iron, there has to be some kind of positive there!

I could really do with a beer!!!! I went to the supermarket today and bought some alcohol free beer. Its actually not to bad, just not the same. Wow, now I am sounding like an alcoholic having withdrawal symptoms....hope you're not getting the wrong impression LOL!

Thanks for the comment about where we live. It's nice but dull (no really!!). I have probably made it sound more interesting than it really is. The city of Lincoln (about 10 minutes by car from here) is nice though. It has one really big hill with a cathedral and castle at the top....because the landscape is so flat you can see them for miles around, which is quite spectacular. We tend to get a few toursits visiting as Lincoln was quite important in Roman times...it was one of the most major cities after London many many years ago. Now it is somewhat forgotten about, but the old part is really old and it feels like stepping back in time. It has a few interesting shops too, so it is nice to stroll around once in a while. There are some really run down areas of the city too, but most places have those.

It's nice that you live so close to your family. It must be great being able to see a lot of them. The community where you live sounds like a very friendly place. I like places that are family centred. Is the school far from where you live? We have a school in the village. It takes about 10 minutes to walk there. Bethan has been going to school for 4 years now, the time has gone so fast. Kate starts school in September, like your daughter too I think. We bought Kate her first two school dresses today...she was so excited and ran around the house wearing one of them for ages! She cried when we made her take it off! :-(

The sonogram picture is indeed from this baby, but we don't know yet what sex it is. My husband is sure it will be another girl, but we don't know. I have another appointment at the hospital this week for a scan, on Thursday in fact...just 4 days to go. I am so excited, I have been counting down the days!! We will ask on thursday and I will let you know how we get on.

Well, sadly my ironing will not be doing itself, so I had better move away from the PC. I hope you have had a great weekend. I feel I have talked and talked again...sorry!! I find it very hard to write two sentence messages!
Have a good week
Valerie x

Awesome!!!! Congrats!
When you look at those things...Are you supposed to add a year to your age?
Example: I was 28 when we conceived, My b-day is in March....Now 29. Some say add a year and some don't.

sparklyval - Wednesday, 14 May
HELLO :0)
You work full time? That must be tough going! How on earth do you manage to fit in everything at home that has to be done on top of having a full time job and the children? I am in awe of you! You must be super organised and efficient.
I work part time, on a term-time only basis for the University. I am employed to work 40 weeks a year, so I get 8 weeks holiday in the summer, which fits in really well with the school summer break. It cuts down a bit on paying for child care, which is so expensive here. My basic hours are 17 a week, on top of which I do one Sunday a month plus one Saturday every other month. Luckily I can claim overtime for both weekend sessions, so that helps to boost the money I earn.
I fell really lucky to get the job I did when my first daughter was born and although it isn't the most fantastically paid job in the world, or the most challenging, it suits us as a family really well. I am going to try to hang on to it after the 3rd baby is here!
I am also very lucky that the University offers a fantastic maternity leave scheme. I can have a year off work, most of which is paid - 6 months is about what I earn now, 3 months will be at a lower rate and 3 months unpaid. I am excited about being able to have a year at home with this baby. I did the same with Kate when she was born and it was a great experience. (Difficult to go back to work after though, I am totally with you about that)!

Your two girls have such pretty names - I love both of them - Ava and Ella, they go really well together. My DH and I have been talking a lot about names in the last week or so, and we think we have agreed on Erin for a girl and Harvey for a boy, but it may change....there is still a long way to go yet! Bethan and Kate have flowers for their middle names - Rose and Lily, so if it is a girl the middle name will definitely be Iris, as that is the name of our next-door-neighbour (she is 94). We need to find a flower name that would be ok for a boy's middle name! There isn't much to go on....

Sorry to hear about the swelling - especially of your hands, that must be very uncomfortable. It isn't uncommon in pregnancy though to have some swelling. I think I got some later on in my last pregnancy. I am ok at the moment (its just my belly that has swollen out!!), although still struggling with painful hip bones and backache. Nothing I can't live with, I have just been trying to walk more.

Where we live is pretty ordinary really. The area around us is very flat, we don't have any hills here, so the scenery is mostly crop farm land. The village is a good place to live...the people here are very friendly and I have a great group of friends. About 6-8 of us tend to meet up on Thursdays for coffee and cakes!! We take it in turns to host the others. The children that aren't at school like to see each other and play well together, we get to sit down for a couple of hours and have a coffee and a cake. Bliss!

The village has a population of about 3,500 people. It isn't a tiny place to live, but it isn't on the scale of a town or city. We have lived here since Bethan was born (about 9 years). We moved in to our house 10 days before she was born which was very stressful at the time. It forced me to get to know people as I didn't know a soul when we moved here, so I started going to the baby group etc. to try to find some other people with babies. We are happily settled here and Bethan likes the school. So, all is good I guess.....just would like a few more hills!

Wow, I have rabbited on for ever!! I am sure it is mostly very dull.... I don't dare read back! Please tell me a bit more about where you live. I have never been to America and it always sounds such an exciting country. What is the community like where you are?

Hope you are feeling well x

blessedmommy - Wednesday, 14 May
Congrats on having a boy! And Happy Belated Mothers Day, I hope you had a wonderful one, I know I did my husband and little Girl Spoiled me rotten, I can't wait until My next appointment on Tuesday the 20th I get to find out if I am having a boy or another girl, I am so excited. Well Until next time Take Care and God Bless
