My name is Michelle and I am a stalker I have even resorted to SMS to try to smoke the little devil out 
ETA - PMSL Deb We must have texted (and posted) at the same time. I wonder if she has got the message we are a tad impatient yet

Well - I have just realised the time and the old girl is in bed She responded with an evil (SMS) chuckle and is almost 12 weeks. All is good and she will fill us in on the details (and why she has been a secret squirrel) tomorrow.
You can go to bed now Deb

You ladies are hilarious. Your excitiment is very sweet and means a lot to me.
Well yes, I'm 11 weeks, 4 days which makes my EDD 2 Jan 2010. I have a very dear friend who is going through a very rough time at the moment. (no guess please). My due date coincides with a anniversary for her, so out of compassion, we decided not to tell anyone (even family) until 12 weeks. The only reason we didn't wait a little longer is because work organised Birthday drinks for me this Friday and I tried everying to get out of it but it wasn't working.
So yes, we are having another bub. I've had terrible morning sickness (well all day sickness) and have been so tired which are all very lovely reassuring signs. I had a 'crazy lady' scan on Tuesday which showed bub is exactly on dates (that has never ever happened to me) and is a very active little bub. Bub's nickname is 'Skippy' because I got my BFP on Anzac day and is after the Skippy Badge. I have my NT next week so I'll do a full announcement after that.
So there, I'm out of the closet. I couldn't hide it much longer anyway, I feel like I've popped already ( lol).
Lv a 'glad to be out' Spring.

You girls are hilarious!!
I knew I'd go to bed and miss the stalking frenzy!  Considered txting both Michelle and Spring, did a quick FB stalk and then went to bed. Spring - I am sooooooo very thrilled for you! And stunned you've been able to keep it under your hat for so long. But like Deb, not overly surprised. Have had a feeling about you for a while. It must be difficult with your friend having such a rough time She is lucky to have a compassionate friend like you.
Soooo....were you actively ttc or did it just happen?? How have the nerves been? Man those first 12 weeks are sooo hard and you've nearly done it all on your own you brave girl! Hope the morning sickness eases off a bit in the next few weeks.

One thing I forgot to mention ladies is please don't mention on FB just yet. There are still a few people IRL I need to tell. I'm thinking of announcing it soon on FB though.
Willow: We had just started TTC but thought we were out for that month because DH was away from day 9 until day 18 He is very proud of himself to say the least I have found this a rather stress free pregnancy, I have a good feeling and I'm learning to trust those feelings. It has been hard keeping it to myself but it seems to have gone by fast so it really wasn't that hard.
The ms is starting to ease a bit already (thank God) so hopefully it's gone for good soon.
Spring xx

Spring, I am soooooooooooo freaking excited for you!!!!!!!! Congrats honey, good for you! So glad that you're 'out there' now . 2nd Jan hey, you could have a New Years baby!!!! I am so, so convinced that you're having a girl. What great news from the crazy lady scan ( LOL), that's just what you needed to hear, I'm sure .
I know that you'll be an excellent friend and support to your friend that is struggling ATM. But I hope you're coping okay with it, please know that you can count on us for your own support if you need to. Pg is such a tumultuous time, and especially so for those who have experienced loss. I know you are a strong woman, but sometimes having people lean on us means that we need someone to lean on too. That's not a bad thing, it's the way the world goes around. So here for you if you need
And back to cheeriness, WOOHOO, Spring's up the duff!!!!!!!!!!!! 
ETA I meant to say, sorry that you've been sick, it's the pits! Although somewhat reassuring. How are you feeling these days?
ETA2 Sorry, just read your above post, glad to hear that the ms is starting to retreat!!!

Spring - wouldn't dream of mentioning it on FB until you do. I think I was waaaay past 20 weeks before I ever referred to this prg on FB. LOL, these men and their 'sperm pride' DH was bad enough after our his test results for IVF, but these days is intolerable (in a very amusing kinda way I must admit!).
I am so glad to hear you've been feeling stress free. I must admit that compared to L, this prg has been a breeze in the stress stakes (apart from Christmas day in hossy and the recent hammock antics!). I'm starting to get nervous about the birth though.

Spring - ooohh how exciting - just read your wonderful news!!!!!!!!!! Thrilled for you - we are only a week apart!!! Really happy for you and your family, one day, one week at a time. My ms was shocking between weeks 7-12 - and it's just dropped right back, and my energy levels are starting to pick up (slowly). So, hang in there, you will nearly turn that corner soon.
So many babies, it's lovely.
Hi to everyone - sorry for lack of personals - am out the door to start my Nutrituion unit (having just scoffed the last of the chocie biccies )
BBL!!
Lee xoxo
