My great news is.......................................................................I'm pregnant!!!  Yes, we are adding to our brood of 2 to make 3.  We had sort of decided to try again but we are quite shocked that it happened so fast.  I'm only 6wks so I've got a long way to go yet but I'm chuffed to bits & sooooooooooooooooooo excited.  My first 2 pregancies were fairly easy, no morning sickness at all so I'm hoping it will be the same for this one.  I'm waiting on our midwife phoning so I can arrange my booking-in appointment with her.  I wonder if anything has changed in 5yrs.  We decided to tell our boys soon before it leaks to them through gossip-mongers at school.  The other really nice thing is my mum lives close by now so she'll be able to experience this with me.   She lived far away when I was pregnant with the first 2, she's never been to a scan or felt the bump move. 

So, I'll keep you posted on how thing are developing.

Just thought I'd pen a few lines before I head to my bed.  November eh, where does the time go??  Soon be Christmas!!!  On that subject of Christmas, going Chrissy shopping tomorrow with a friend.  Haven't started shopping yet although I have a few ideas.  I love Christmas, love the whole decorating the house, planning the menu for Christmas day, buying & wrapping the presents.  Anyway, I'll see how I go tomorrow & how much money I spend.

An update on my eldest & his football......................................he took his assessment (yes, it was 2hrs of playing football) AND he has been accepted on the next stage.  All it means is he has an extra training evening but its a step nearer the academy.  There was nearly 200 boys at the assessment & only 48 of them were chosen to go through to the next stage.  I'm well chuffed and so, so proud of him.  He can't be accepted into the academy until he's 10 so we've a wee while to wait before that happens, but I'm sure it will if he carries on enjoying it as much as he does.

The youngest had his birthday this month, thoroughly enjoyed himself & was spoilt rotten as usual.  Can't believe how big he is getting & how cheeky!!!  I also had a birthday this month, 2 days after the youngest.  Can believe how old I'm getting, its never really bothered me before but when I look around at the school gates and notice the young mums, it makes me feel old.  I don't think I look my age though.......................21 again & again.

Oh, and work is busy (yeah, yeah, yeah), we are fully booked up till Christmas & now we're booking for January.  So relieved but still have a long way to go.  Its a start anyway.
