Well it cannot possibly belonger thanmy 3 3.5 DAY ones.. or I may just die! OH took 3.5 hours (his sister was 20 minutes) so either of those I'd be happy with!

These are.. 18, 15, 14, 12, 11, 9, 7 and 5.. then Squeak..

I am not good at going full term so it is less than half my life in maternity wear.. but it is all so comfy.. all 2 pairs of trousers that I own and can breathe in.. and they are tight!!

Well it isn't looking smooth and easy so far.. but hopefully it will get better.. that or I have the 3.5 labour.. .. I am just too tired and way too old to be doing this again!! lol Thankfully OH is younger so he can do the running around lol.

Though I think DD1 may be after stealing him! lol.. She was most overwhelmed by the scan.. esp when we did the tongue poking out and the finger sucking.
