    Ahhh thats better, finally managed to sit down and declutter some tea and toast. Taken the Dog for a nice lengthy walk so shes taken care of till OH gets home. DD2 has had her snack too so she should be ok til lunch. I have a meeting at DS nursery when i pick him up today, they have someone in to access him to see if the nursery can get some extra funding for him to have 1 on 1 care and get some sensory equipment in. Hopefully they can help me get some speech therapy for him too even though he is improving. "Proud mummy alert" This morning he was spelling his name as usual when he actally said his name :) 1st time ever, oh I almost cried!! If we were at home I prob would of :) Oh i'm getting weepy thinking of it!! *snap out of it samm!!

    Sorry, i can't remember - how come they've recommended a c-section? Have you had one before?

    This one will be my 4th and i promise you they're not that bad. It's actually quite an enjoyble experience and feels like someone is washing up in your belly at times. :rotfl:

    My hospital's policy is to do them at 39 weeks, but another one locally is 38 weeks so i would imagine they will have you in pretty soon either way. How exciting!!!! :D

    Got loads more done this time. The living room smells clean now. I also sorted out the bookcase and put all the cookery books in the kitchen now. I have so many different recipe books! Got one basket of ironing to do which I will probably start on in about 10 minutes and then it will be lunchtime for me and the toddler, then feed the baby time, then rest I think for a bit!
