    tigtag my boobs are currently squeezed in a 38D bra but I'm sure they are now bigger, gonna need to get measured and honestly in 3 weeks I'm sure bump will have overtaken them, it is only just smaller

    Freebie - I've got some of the mum to be body butter that I used about 5 times, didnt really like it, if you like I can send it to you, otherwise its just going in the bin.....

    I promise to stop stalking you all (one day).....

    we got muslins from tesco £4.99 for 6, and they are huge, more like a blanket (which we have used them for on occassion) so could just cut them in half and hem.....

    No sign of Esio today...do we reckon she's made progress and having Mummy cuddles???:)

    She did :)

    After a few very long days, baby David finally arrived yesterday morning (1st July) weighing 8lb 3oz. Was finally admitted to the labour ward at tea time on Wednesday and queued until 2am on Thursday morning to be given an epidural. Bit stressful as things didn't progress very well - cue various drips/baby distress/adverse reactions to epidurals (and their subsequent wearing off at the peak of syntocin induced contractions :eek:) and some serious tearing and stitches - but - still managed a natural birth just before 10am yesterday. very impressed with the midwife care we got through the labour - one MW stayed with us and barely left the room for her whole shift - afterwards was a bit different but we've managed.

    All in all I'm sore, uncomfy and shattered but we're both well and glad to get home today. Despite it being the hardest thing I've ever done - it's definitely the best and sososo worthwhile!

    Hope you and your bumps are all well
