Default Looks like this will have to be the next mod to both the XF and the EB...


Yes, Nikki (LuvinmyEB) is going to have a baby, and I'm going to be a dad!

7 (nearly 8) weeks down, just over another 32 to go until the big day. :

It's just been confirmed with a blood test by a doctor after a home test a week ago showed a positive result.

Umm, not sure what else to say right now...

Troy and Nikki, congratulations. Lets hope that the little one has blue blood, not that awful red stuff Holden supporters have. You of all people deserve every happiness, especially after the Slum Lord incident earlier this year.

Surprises are what keeps life exciting. Congratulations.

Hahaha, nah, I'll always want another Escort mate, just now this means that instead of having one as a daily driver, it looks like it'll be my 'weekend' car once I get another one - which isn't a bad thing, means I can make it as wild as I want without having to worry about if it's practical for daily driving But that's not going to be for a few years now - I sold the last of our 3 Escorts today, and I'll admit I wasn't exactly happy to see it taken away on the back of a trailer and out of my life. Oh well.

Thanks everyone for your congratulations, now, I remember a while ago there being a thread about Ford baby seats (well, just baby seats in blue and white with Ford embroidered on them), did anybody manage to find where we could get one like that?

Thanks mate, and yes they have, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Just means I'll have to wait a few more years before I get myself a new toy

Thanks guys.

Needless to say that explains my absence of late, I'm tired ALL the time, I feel like I need a bucket next to me 24/7, and the fun has only just begun. :P

I can't believe I just gave away the last of my baby stuff too because I was 'apparently' infertile. :

So looking forward to the sleepless nights again.

I know, it will all be worth it though. ;)

OMG I knew it

Congratulations guys!! :

Now don't rush out and buy anything just yet - I have a cot for you + cot sheets and bumpers etc, a highchair, a porta-a-cot, pram, baby bag, bottle warmer etc and so on.... Oh and Nikki, the pram and baby bag are logo'd with "Winnie the Pooh" so I think you'll like ;)

All the items are in excellent condition guys and they're all yours!! I can't think what else I have tucked away in the cupboards but let me know what you need and I'll have a look.

I got first dibs at babysitting :

CONGRATS TO NIKKI AND TROY! I'm so excited for the both of you, I don't have any baby stuff to pass on though cos my youngest is now 9 and I've had the snip... no more babies for me, so I gave all my baby stuff away pretty soon after that.

See Troy I can keep a secret! Even with my big mouth

Hehehe, yeah, although out of the two the EB would be the safer car by far, as well as being more practical (fold down rear seats, easier to get things in and out of the boot, more boot space), so I doubt the XF will be used for transporting the little one around much. So I shouldn't have to turn those speakers down after all.

It's ok Bindi, you don't owe us anything, far from it, I've still got to make up a package to send up to you in return for the XF manual and speakers! So even if you had baby stuff... Besides, transporting stuff from where you are would be a pain.

And yes, thanks for not saying anything until I had made the big announcement on here

We went to get an ultrasound done, and we got to see the baby for the first time today! It's about an inch tall, and we even got to see it's little heart beating at a little over 150 beats per minute.

Sadly, the printer was broken, so we couldn't take home any pictures, but being only about an inch tall, there wasn't all that much to see yet anyway, but it was amazing to see - I got to see our baby!

Good stuff mate! I bet you're proud as punch, and the little tacker hasn't even been born yet.

Any name ideas floating around yet? (maybe start a poll... hehe!)
