This is the life!<br /><br />Thanks Jadey, we cant wait either, boy or girl, we dont mind!<br /><br />LOL Kelly, we've often joked about strapping bub onto the back of the ute! Not happening of course!<br /><br />Ah Linda I hope your hubby isn't as bad as mine when it comes to cars - talk about boys and their toys! All the research drives you mental doesn't it?<br /><br />Thanks Robyn, it does seem to be a common thing to nickname the bump, I suppose its a bit hard to call it "IT" all the time, especially if you dont know the gender. We've certainly outgrown the name "tic tac" now!<br /><br />Lia we still haven't got the new car yet, fingers crossed it will be this week - will post a pic as soon as I can!<br /><br />Hi Alicia, I dont know what it is with boys and their utes, unfortunately we have to get rid of ours to trade in on the new car, much to hubbys disgust! As far as hospital bag goes, I'm using a few different lists that I've found in magazines and books, and just picking what I think is necessary (I'm leaving out things like candles and CD's etc - its just not me)- good luck with your packing!<br /><br />Hilary xxMiss Positivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573832934725003553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-41754599497381814742009-11-30T09:10:26.295+10:002009-11-30T09:10:26.295+10:00Yay....leave time!

Damien has a 'done up' Holden ute that he's only ever gonna be able to drive without me and bubs. I've got the sensible XR6 :)<br /><br />Have you found a good list of things to take to hospital? I'm still searching and have no clue what to take :(<br /><br />xoxoBug's Mummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05574364060804686926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-24333700304996357752009-11-30T07:43:41.220+10:002009-11-30T07:43:41.220+10:00So when do we get to see a pic of the new vroom vr...So when do we get to see a pic of the new vroom vroom? :o) xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-50588442317343921642009-11-28T16:16:01.856+10:002009-11-28T16:16:01.856+10:00Hilary, you're on maternity leave! That's ...Hilary, you're on maternity leave! That's so being at the business end of the pregnancy. Glad to hear that you'll soon have something more wieldy to drive you and tic-tac around in.<br /><br />Btw, I love the nicnames people give their unborn babies. A friend of mine called his unborn child rocket, and a colleague of mine, who's due in about four months, calls her's jelly bean! Very cute. ...the last one sort of makes me crave jelly beans, btw.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316040410507788746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-6217969551302325282009-11-26T20:22:08.953+10:002009-11-26T20:22:08.953+10:00are your hubby and mine twins???
