    CMD how lovely to hear the baby news. Here's hoping for a labour like your cousin. That was really quick. The midwife told me that I should have a quicker labour this time due to having SPD. She said it'll be easier as my pelvis is already starting to seperate. That's no comfort for me atm!!!!

    SPD sounds very very sore.

    I am hoping for an easier time this time around as I was 5cm dilated by the time I got to the hospital last time and they said I dilate quickly. It's just that Max got stuck.

    Ha ha. I think he was busy stocking up on food from the placenta to make sure he didn't go hungry for the next while. The child never stops eating!!!

    He is eating me out of house and home. It is impossible to do a food budget with him. Luckily he loves fruit so I can give him them to snack on in between meals!

    CMD you've me thinkin of home with that phrase. Reminds me of my Granny saying it about me when I was out on the farm. The amount of physical work I did during the day would double my appetite and she'd often say it to my mother when she collected me.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.
