Wow!

Congrats, Ali. I'm sure things will work out well.

Congrats, Ali. You may be apprehensive now, but it'll all go away when you hold that tiny little snuggly baby in your arms. Nothing better.

My wife had gestational diabetes when she was preggers with our oldest, and was heavy when she concieved our second. She didn't want to go back on the needle, so she ate heathily and exercised, and lost weight while carrying a healthy baby with an average birth weight.

Major congrats, Ali.
As Infi said, if another baby was a horrifying idea then you'd be on contraception or Dazza would've been snipped.

This one is a surprise and even if not planned, will be born into a stable and loving family.

If you have a girl, you'll have to have a special babygro printed for her:
No, Mummy wasn't just trying for a girl, she was just horny
and on the back
Daddy would've been happy with a blowjob

Congrats Ali.

Mrs. Z lost weight with Zing 1 and kept it off with Zing 2. She was walking every day. Seattle walks -- steep hills.

Congratulations, Ali! It will be nice for Max to have a little buddy, and at some point they will be great entertainment for each other.

I think you're right kerosene. I also think Max will be a great help when the new one comes along. He'll be nearly 4, so i reckon he'll be good for lots of fetching a carrying. Especially since he loves helping me out usually anyway.

I guess it's official now. I've had my first day of morning sickness. 3 pm and finally feeling a bit like I'm almost ok. Super excellent.
