    Thanks Ikkle!

    Hope everyone has had a nice weekend.
    Been at my bestie's baby shower this afternoon, was really lovely amd got to have a few sneaky cuddles with a baby too :) she liked my nappy cake too. Actually looked quite neat in the end, so am really chuffed.
    Off to Canterbury tomorrow for three nights. Picking up the wheelchair in the morning. Got a spa day on Tuesday for OH's bday. He's guessed really as I've got a new swimming costume and told him to pack his trunks.

    Big labour vibes to the boldies!!!!! and hugs to everyone that needs them. Sleep well......looking forward to some baby stories soooooon!!!!

    :O just gone through about 50 pages and blimey you've been busy!!

    congrats to gtothec and if i havent already said it, alizee! cant believe i am now under 50, but only just - number 47 so im sure i could get pushed back!

    we have been away to a hotel, so nice to relax and lovely times last night - ahem! though glad i dont have your partner rj, i get sore enough after s*x!

    ewan dream sheep i need to consider. i will post more but now have 5 more days of my course and then we move a week after that and hubby has 2 exams in between that - all starting to get more real, possibly need a pause button?!!! eeek!!!

    cant wait to get in the new house and start setting things up for baby and us - i will be working up until 38 weeks, just casual shifts with my old employer as we need all the money we can get before my maternity allowance kicks in. 26 weeks this week and finally caved and bought maternity jeans from peacocks - so comfy!!! also got some palazzo trousers and found a voucher from when id left work for topshop and they had a sale so got a lovely maternity top for £5 which actually makes me look pregnant as hubby said and some bigger harem pants for the summer. little man has been clambering around, the movements feel a lot different to just a couple of weeks ago!

    oh and congrats ikkle! i know what you mean about it all becoming real, so good they managed to do you 20 week scan after that hassle.

    any good recommendations for bedding bundles? that seems to be one thing we're lacking... argh! tired but cant sleep, will regret this tomorrow :/

    A few other insomniacs I see! :o

    I've been wide awake since 3.30 for some reason, just a well I don't have to go to work today! :D Quite nice just lying here though, listening to the birds singing :)

    Re ewan the dream sheep- bought one for my friend's baby and my friend reckons its the best thing ever! Def gonna have to get one for us too! In fact, might get one for me as well, as it's so soothing :)

    Just debating what to do with my first proper day of maternity leave...so much that needs doing, but my body is increasingly telling me to slow down a bit... I'm just rubbish at sitting around doing nothing!

    Yesterday we had a few people round to help with the painting, and I felt so guilty for not doing much- still ended up doing quite a bit although was suffering by the end of the day.

    Miss money, hope things have kicked off for you overnight! :)

    Hi all,

    hope you don't mind me joining? I usually lurk every day, but thought at 34 weeks I should get round to posting instead of hanging around in the background like some wierdo:o! This will be my second baby, another DD according to the scan, I already have a 3 year old daughter who is looking forward to being a big sister.

    I am due on 30th June and am starting to get nervous about the whole thing, I had a fairly fast birth with my DD so am fretting a bit about getting to the hospital in time, I really do not want to end up giving birth in the car on the way with passers by looking at my chop-choo!

    Oh well, better think about getting dressed, got a whole load of batch cooking to get done for my freezer, and if the husband is lucky I might even make him a cake!
