    Morning all, I am ahead today as I've done my "chores" already. So if I don't do anything else today I'll won't feel bad. Other bits I need to do are just general sorting and a bit of spring cleaning type jobs :)

    Glam - next time you're on - when you taken Raspberry Leaf and EPO do you continue past the birth? How long should you continue taking them. I think I will run out on my EDD but wondering if you have to continue past it because maybe I should get some more.

    Oh Elasti how sad for them. They are missing out on so much. I know my mum would have to have a really valid reason like she was on holiday before turning down babysitting her grandkids (brother & SILs). I must be pretty lucky with mine as they haven't put forward any names or any advice. Although it may be cause they live 250 miles away!

    Fatty boo boo - ooh how exciting for you. I am still waiting for something/anything to happen.

    MERFE what time is your scan today? That'll be a bit of a weight of your mind with your sister looking after your kids for a bit. And fingers crossed for your grandad - I candefinitely recommend Norfolk :D

    My sister is 2 years older than me and 11 weeks behind me in her pregnancy which is a bit strange. She said that she has started itching so I am worried that she might have the liver disorder - she is just awaiting her blood results. Its times like this that I wish I lived closer to her (she is still in Wales with the rest of my family). We do chat quite often but its not the same.

    Morning karen, scan is at 2:40 today so a bit of milling about today, gonna try to get some housework done and have to pick up sis about 11 ish, have lunch then have to go about an hour earlier to get there in time, I hope the parking is ok.

    I agree norfolk is lovely, and it was the best move for them, they have great neighbours but it is hard when all their family is far away.

    It must be nice being pregnant the same time as sis, hope she is ok. My friend had the liver thing but i think she was ok once they found out. She has had another child since but I'm not sure if she got it the 2nd time she isnt a close friend, not really much help at all sorry.

    I have an sis 2 years older too and she has 2 children already but they are younger than mine. Her reaction when I was pregnant with my first was 'its not fair, she's not allowed a baby'!!!! seriously. I actually thought she might grow up a bit now she does have her own but it doesnt seem to have made much difference.
    My younger sis is 7 years younger and has epilepsy, she lives with my mum still, in the middle of nowhere and can not drive because of the epilepsy so really struggles to find a job. She has had them on and off but been laid off loads of times because of lack of work. Its good for me because she is nearly always available for childcare but for her its rubbish. I try to get her to do some voluntry work but i'm not sure if she has followed up my advice and tried to find any.

    Kindof - Elliot is nice, is this your first baby? I picked the easy option for our kids middle names....the older two have Paul and the youngest has Thomas, if this baby is a boy it will also have Thomas as a middle name...My dh name is Paul Thomas:rotfl:

    Oooh more births!! Congratulations Pookie. Hope you and your little one are doing well. Holly had jaundice too, but it was quite bad and she had to have phototherapy. Because of the heat, she was dehydrating and we had to give her formula as she wasn't getting enough breastmilk. Hope you manage to continue with breast feeding, but it's not the end of the world if you don't.

    Jenny - Erin is gorgeous, congrats again.

    Labour vibes to those in need (Fidget, Helen etc). Hugs and hellos to everyone else!
