    They kept it around 23rd of August. She goes back again in 8 weeks to the perinatologist for another scan.

    I like the 23rd of August. It's my dad's birthday. :)

    May she have a safe and uneventful pregnancy.:)

    Dani--I'm so sorry to hear it. Hopefully there's a terrific window opening for you as this door is being closed.

    J--HOORAY! I'm so happy!

    Doula--Congrats! I like baby boys, but I'm a little biased right now.

    Finally off for the day! I thought it would never end. A friend from work retired today, so everyone was pretty emotional, but I did find out that I have been selected to interview for her position, which is a great opportunity for me (and a significant pay raise, which is always good) But I am extremely happy the weekend has come. I feel exhausted this week for some reason.

    On the bright side - we'll see you on AMHD more, maybe? There's always a silver lining... ;-)

    Seriously though - just hang in there and get that resume out there - you know there are lots here that can perfect that document with you.

    Thank you :) Aye, I may be on more until I get a new job :) I really need to work out what it is I want to do, because I don't really know what to pursue as a career

    Thanks Synnen, I'm a tad relieved to leave the place if I'm honest, haha.

    Congrats Doula! I bet becoming a grandparent is great, all the kids without the pain. :D

    I didn't read back, other than the last page, so, to Dani, I'm sure something will turn up. Just hang in there. If not, you can move to canada, we're hiring where I work. I'll put in a good word for you. :)

    Today seemed to last forever. I'm so glad it's done. Three day weekend for me. Not that it's time off. A mom's job is never done. :(

    Glad your day is over Alty and that you get a 3 day weekend.

    After today I'll never complain about my job again. At least I still have one, wasn't too sure if I did earlier in the day.

    So glad it all worked out J. Hugs to you my dear. :)

    Well, it's only three days off work, but I'll be working at home. Spring cleaning time, and time to paint, again. Bella is coming this summer. I want the house to look good when she gets here. :)

    At least you get to have 3 days home.

    Bella is coming? Oh, now that's going to be a good time for all I'm sure! We can't wait for the pics.

    She was supposed to come last year, but we both started new jobs, and it just wasn't a good time. Her tickets (which she bought last year) expire this year, so she has no choice now. Her and Miss E are coming to visit me. I can't wait.

    We'll post tons of pictures on AMHD. I'm sure that most of them will include a beer in our hands. ;)

    So that's one down, a lot more to go. Hint, hint. When are you going to visit? Bring Synn. I'll get Bella, and a few other girls, and we'll have a girls party time Canadian style. :)

    Oh, I would love to come up there and visit. Believe me I would. Funds and time are my enemies though.

    Funds and lack of a passport are mine. :(

    But one day we will meet in person. I promise you! Also, we have to see Synn, and soon. I want to hold that baby! :)

    I don't have a passport, for me OR the baby. And I didn't win the MegaMillions jackpot tonight, so money is a little tight for me. I have lots of extra space for people to crash here, though! You all can come visit me!

    Thanks Alty! Argh! I'd love to go to Canada.
