Hey All,

I was probably here so little before that no one remembers me LOL, but I joined a while ago and haven't had the time to get on since so I thought I'd come and say hi again For those of you whodon't remember me (which will probably be just about everyone lol) my name is Clare, I'm 27 and a full time student (studying for the 2nd year of my English Lit with creative writing degree) I'm married to George who is also 27 and works for Morrisons Distribution. We have one daughter; Jessica who is 7, and I'm 21 weeks pregnant with our second child. George also has another daughter; Beckie, who lives with her Mum, but stays with or visits us on a regular basis. We live in West Yorkshire, though George is originally from Glasgow.

Anyhow that's me... again I'll hopefully be finding more time to post on some of the other threads this time, so I look forward to chatting to everyone on here!

Thanks for all the replies, and someone actually remembers me! *waves to Emma*

Our sexing scan is next Thursday (25th) and we can't wait! We definitely want to find out what we're having- well assuming the little monkey doesn't cross his/her legs LOL. We don't have any real preference as far as sex goes, although I do suspect George would like a son with us already having the two girls between us.

I'm definitely going to be busy for a while I reckon LOL. I'm hoping to stay at Uni until the week before I'm due, so that when the baby arrives I'll only need to take a few weeks off before I go back for my exams. I'm lucky in that as well as George and Jess being very supportive; my Mum and close friends are also really good, and with the added support from my tutors (who are also being great) I should be able to manage fine. I know we're all gonna be shattered, but-Hey! a new bundle of fun and an Honours degree later, I'm sure it will be worth all the hard work

Jessica is really, really excited about the baby! She got so emotional when we told her; that after running round the room squealing, she burst into tears LOL. Beckie is six and also really excited, though she lives up in Glasgow with her Mum so unfortunately won't get to see quite as much of the baby as Jess will. We are making sure to include her as much as possible though (we emailed her the 12 week scan piccie, rang her when the baby first moved, etc etc) so hopefully she won't feel left out. Just to add btw LOL; George isn't actually Jessica's biological Dad (hence the age arrangements between the three kids) but he has fallen very much into the role of Jessie's Dad (her biological father is an ass whom she sees once a year if shes lucky )so I tend to just refer to her as 'ours' rather than 'mine'.
