    period pains are now quite strong, feeling like an actual period :eek: ouchy!

    That's because you're having a baby. Get that paddling pool out! :D

    Another busy morning on the thread... so much to catch up on. Just back from my last bit of professionally done pre-baby grooming: feet (can't reach them) and eyebrows (couldn't be bothered). Am now back on the sofa and about to finish off a carrot cake - well, my OH doesn't like it and we wouldn't want it to go off, would we?... ;)

    Welcome and congratulations to Twinkle and Chrissy :wave:

    Crossing my fingers for Kittycat's job interview (congratulations on team blue :j) and Ikkle's test results (just gone 3pm)! :)

    Miss Money, hope toes and animals are behaving - sounds like you do need to get that pool ready!

    On the subject of washing baby clothes, in addition to the issue of chemicals that others have mentioned, I've also heard that you should wash new clothes because they might have loose threads in them that can end up in baby's mouth or around their toes/fingers. Non-bio washing powder/laundry liquid is recommended, as is fabric softener - especially if your baby has sensitive skin, which obviously we won't know about until they're here, so better safe than sorry methinks!

    Hope everyone else is well :)

    Congratulations on team blue kittycat! Looks like the boys will rule September! I've updated the list or you.

    Ikkle, I hope the results brought good news for you.

    Miss money, sounds like things are starting for you! :)

    I've done some tiding around, trying to get the house in order. Got to get it nice and tidy ready for the 8 :eek: guests we have stopping at the weekend!
