three - sorry to hear your sister wasn't so good today. I guess she;s going to have good days and bad days and hopefully tomorrow will be a much better one for you all.

I don;t think I'm going to bother with the swine flu jab either. I have no underlying health problems and have never had flu in my life. Also, although I work in a shop, we sell clothes for older ladies so I shouldn't really come into much contact with it. It;s so hard deciding what to do for the best.

Well OH asked if i was hungry and i said no, i wasn't. Guess what happened when he came in with a take away yup i tried to eat it all:rotfl: Off to raid the fridge don't know what to have...... wonder if i could guilt him into getting another take away?

anyways, done my hospital bag and am sure have forgotten something - I know it seems a bit early at 35 weeks but if I try it when (if!) we move, everything will be all over the place so thought I'd do it now.

Three2b i am wishing you all a better day tomorrow. As Gill says there will good days and bad ones along her road to recovery. My thoughts will be with you. Big hugs!

I have just been told in-laws are over for the weekend - which really means i need to get my a*se into gear and tidy this place up (being all sickly i have given up on housework a bit). I am very houseproud when they come around - feel embarrassed if the slightest thing is out of place as theres is always spotless and OH was always known as being the messy one. They'll have the kiddies (2 boys, 5 and 9) so we'll have some fun doing pumpkins and taking them out for trick or treating as me and OH are big kids and any excuse for doing these things (and they have never been before so it'll be good fun).

Feeling like crap tonight - can't kick this MS and eating isn't keeping it at bay any more

Baby is moving loads today. Probably noticed more as I've not got up from bed or sofa all day. Quite a lot of kicking but tons of moving position cos bits go hard for a bit then go soft again. Can get slightly uncomfortable at times, anyone else find this?

I find this - one side rock hard, one side all squishy as he has good old wriggle! The last couple of weeks, its more squirming and pushing around rather than kicking but when he does kick, omg, do I feel it!

32b - hope you sleep better tonight and things look up tomorrow for you, and your sis

helen & fidget - labour vibes overnight!!!!

No, not too early always, you are doing fab! I think maybe some anti-bac wipes or hand sanitiser may be good (never did with DD but will this time) but looks like you have done everything else

ETA: Oh and babywipes - not neccessarily for baby but for you as there'll be times when you feel like freshening up but have no-one to watch the bubba for you (just my own tip, lol). Remember once bubs is born you have to stay with them at all times, means even going to the loo you need to call a MW to watch them for a few mins

:eek::eek::eek: Well if this is the new rule i had best pack a potty as when i had DD and DS it took from 7.30 till just before lunch to get anyone to stop for long enough to ask for meds never mind watch baby.

Thanks for the thought for my sis i know she will have bad days just find it disappointing when she does. I know she will pull through she is a fighter it's just whatever is up with her psychiatricly that is against her and gets in the way.

Waiting on chicken kiev now. It smells lush and will keep OH at bay tonight...hopefully, i'm too tired lol
Night helen sleep vibes for you and ((hugs))

Also slippers for hospital prob need to be hard soled in case floors are wet anywhere (bathrooms etc)

Glad today is nearly over for you Helen. Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight so you can take advantage of some super labour vibes tomorrow!! xx
