    Hey Lyns, wanna do my housework too? You good girl, doing all that.

    Sorry to hear about your family hun- I too am from a family that has silly fights all the time and I just keep out of them. Hopefully your mum will see how well you're doing and get her own LBM but in the meantime you're doing the right thing in being there for them.

    Oh, and huge congratulations on getting your bank charges back- I'm so proud of you! x

    Countdown is going well hun- had a little scare during the week when they thought I may have to be induced early but it turned out to be a false alarm. It made me get my act together though and I've spent the weekend getting the baby's room ready. Mr S is being fab and is making me endless cups of tea on demand :D

    PS Kenneth Williams was hilarious- now I'm showing my age :rotfl:

    Nope, he has 5 sisters! He's very used to female hormones and saying "yes dear" to keep the peace.

    Baby's fine- the midwife thought I had too much fluid which isn't a good thing at this stage and especially since the baby's head isn't engaged yet- I won't bore you with the details. So they rushed me in for a scan and thankfully everything is fine. The baby weighs almost 6lb already and it was really nice to see him again :D I wouldn't mind him coming early but not this early!

    phew, was worried for a minute. it was too much fluid that was the problem with the girl at work who had her boy just before xmas. he kept spinning around in circles and wouldnt put his head where it should be! they ended up admitting her in case her waters broke then they ended up sectioning her. all worked out lovely in the end, he was well over 10lbs and the thought of pushing was scary!

    Yep, same here- his head is still loose and he's still moving an awful lot. Apparently the fluid is fine so I just have a really wriggly baby! They don't like it though as it can be dangerous for the baby and it puts too much stress on the uterus. 10lbs blimey- hope mine isn't that big if I have to push...
