awwww, SJ I've already forgotten how ickle they are! (LOL...says the one who hasn't seen hers since 14 weeks and now won't get to until almost 24 wks due to rescheduling!)

God, I've forgotten already. Only just read it too. Was it Aless that was after a removeable border for the nursery?

Well, whoever was interested - how about the re-positionable stickers? They don't mark the wall or peel paint or wallpaper so should be perfectly ok for rented property. I got the lovely Humphreys Corner ones from Mothercare (see how much of my money those incompetents have had!!!) but there are lots of other choices in B&Q and loads on ebay. Think the proper name for them is Stickarounds.

May be a lot easier to remove than a border/frieze.

ETA: Just seen the scan pic SJ, they are so cute. Really pleased you got to see everything again. On the nursery note: I didn't start buying anything until after the 20 week scan. Then I went mad, lol

Harley, Have you picked up your prescription yet!
Hope it allows you to actually get a restful night, (apart from the waking up to pee bit)

Glam, are you there

OH thought he had hayfever last night - not sure why as he doesn't suffer from it, but he had a bad runny nose and the sneezes. He's just phoned from work to say he now has a bad cough, sore throat and generally feeling below par. I've sent him off to the nearest chemist to buy a thermometer and take his temp. If he has a temp though and is possibly infected with swine flu, what does that mean for me at 32+ 3? I don't have any symptoms of anything at the moment, but we've been ahem intimate during the incubation period, so I'm guessing if he has it, I'm likely to get it too. Any suggestions?

smartie - it's a gradual increase, I believe...

Found this:

Once you have reached the 32nd week of your pregnancy you could begin with one cup of raspberry leaf tea a day and gradually increase up to 4 cups or tables a day (although this may vary in accordance with the strength of the blend and the manufacturers instructions).

Some ladies have started with 1 around wks 32-34 and increased about a cup/day every week so eventually by 38 wks you're drinking 4 a day and do that until labour.

Glad I got the right person Aless - if this is what happens to my brain after one week off sick, god help us halfway through ML, lol

WM - yes thanks, picked it up just before lunch. Took it about 3 ish, since I had several rennies whilst I was waiting for the extremely slow pharmacist thought I'd better wait till after food before I took it. Seems to be working so far, fingers crossed for a proper nights sleep tonight otherwise I'll never get back to work.

Nicki - Think Glam was going to log off to try to get some work done. If she comes back later we'll point her in your direction.

OMG the moron cat came back :eek:

I walked in kitchen and she was on windowsill outside so i quickly grabbed her and threw her in the house

smartie i don't know about the RLT, that's Glam and Sami's department but i'll try and find her post that says how often to have it!

SJ - lovely pics

kindof - i'm 22 weeks and haven't bought anything, i've been given a few bits but they've been chucked in the back of the cupboard I'm pretty skint though so will probably wait til i get surestart grant/hipg and bargain hunt then!

I liked this when i saw it in Mothercare the other day, does it fold down small?

Thinking of prams hurts my head, and they're so expensive i'd rather not buy one at all

I was about to reply to everyone after Beenies post above but then got distracted. What I was going to say was I still haven't looked properly at prams because it hurts my head too! Currently wondering if I can get away with baby wearing for a few months so I don't need to bother.

Fidget: Sorry to hear about your problems, please feel free to tell us about it if you think it would help to talk about it.

Huge start soon labour vibes to Suzy.

Congratulations Dooley! :j
