Gin I think the notebook is a great idea. I'm already learning stuff and should prob write it down. A friend has a tip then I know they said something wise but I've forgotten. My friend has the two drop rule, one drop it (the toy or whatever) it gets a wipe, if it's dropped again it gets a wash.
The spreadsheet sounds a great idea, I love spreadsheets though. Do you have a laptop or tablet that's going to be readily available? If not the whiteboard sounds a great idea, even if it's just until you get chance to turn on pc etc.

Rebekah I can email you my hip exercises of you want. I'm not sure how they'd come up on here cos it's a whole A4 page. If you or anyone else who wants it pm me your address or Facebook me :-)

Emsbet hope you've got your feet up with a cuppa now. Least it's all finished :-) did you manage to book your classes? Or are you going to wait til your scan? Here we're advised to book at 16 weeks as they get booked so quick.

Laura hope you're feeling glam and prepared for tomoro.

Got a beautiful maxi dress, I do look pretty massive in it in a nice bumpy kind of way and a blue summer day dress. However it's still cold and raining here so don't think I'll be wearing them anytime soon :-( Did get dragged into mothercare by my sis, didn't get too palpitations this time lol. Joined their "club" so got some vouchers. Mainly off big stuff which we have sorted but some for clothing and lingerie which may come in useful. Free to join so can't hurt.

Gin, I think the wording on your notebook is perfect I have a got a baby log book as well - I'm sure I read it on this thread that it is good to have a notebook to jot down feeds and sleeps in the first few weeks. It is shiny and red and waiting to go in my hospital bag

Rebekah and MrsExcited - I would love to share them with you. I have 26 excerises to do on a ball (I know you have one Rebekah) and also some stablity/pelvic floor exercises. I don't have a scanner I'm afraid but I am very happy to photocopy and post them to you both? Or if anyone has any other suggestions how to get them onto laptop (I'm not great with technology so simple language please! )

Not booked the classes no because I've been busy. Might do it tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments on the notebook. Will see what OH says when he sees it.

As for the 'Baby log', I have a small laptop (notebook?) and iPad, but I think I will prefer to have the sheets printed out and just keep them in the folder in the drawer in the nursery new ones/past days and 'today's' one on the changing table or nearby, so I can remember to make a note of things.

Just thought that we could maybe go to cinema tonight, as haven;t been for ages, but just checked to local cinemas and there is nothing at all I would like to see!

Physio said the condition I have is called PGP (pelvic girdle pain) but I think its pretty much the same thing as SPD, just a different title. I have been given lots excerises, a belt and have another appointment in 2 weeks

You're right. They've renamed SPD. It's now called pelvic girdle pain. Exactly the same thing.

Triangle was the Physio helpful? Ball exercises sound fun although I fear I may fall off the ball :-S do you or OH have a camera phone maybe could email from there? Or photo the page? I'm not sure really I'm not very technical either.

Maxi dresses are so flattering aren't they? What colour is it?

Actually LMM you have given me a thought - I could type out my excerises and send as a word doc Rebekah, only thing is you wouldn't have the pictures (which I always need!) Let me know what you think

Pleased to hear you have spolit yourself today Laura - weird question but do you have butterflies now its so close? Do you think you will be able to sleep tonight? I'm so excited for you! And you too Charli - huge labour vibes are being sent you way

RebekahR

Camera sounds perfect if not you can type if it's not mega long! Will give me a laugh at your discription of the pictures Any pornographic looking positions?!LOL.

Popped you my addy LMM

Sorry missed your post.

A quiet night sounds nice, maybe a while before you get one of those again I hope you DH is feeling better soon.

Scan is Tuesday morning at 8.
