Afternoon all.

Hoping Maralum is holding her baby girl by now!! :j

Late posting but I have been busy busy today.

So far I have:-

Stripped all beds
Hoovered all mattresses
Remade all beds
Littles bedding washed and on line
Dusted all rooms
Went on cobweb hunt
Dusted door frames & curtain poles
Hoovered all rooms
S & S Kitchen
S & S Bathroom
S & S lounge
Downstairs hoovered
Upstairs loo cleaned
Window in loo cleaned (others done last week)
BM on for rolls for tea
Played jigsaws with DD2 while DD1 at Nursery
Tidied conservatory (put littles dressing up stuff away etc - not sure why will need doing again in 10 mins)
Trip to market to buy gammon joint
Boiled gammon joint (glaze on to be popped in oven later)
BM on for rolls to go with tea (gammon ham, egg & chips - yummy!!!!)
De-limescaled downstairs loo

Think thats all. Definately feel like I deserve that [STRIKE]glass [/STRIKE]bottle of wine tonight now (best pop it in the fridge):D

Tracey & Michelle - just to warn you 2nd time round took us one go to get pregnant (5 months for DD1). DH said lets start trying now when DD1 was 9 months, 9 months later another bundle of joy:D . Do have to say I look at friends who have 4 year old and new borns and it does seem like harder work. DD1 loved DD2 straight away and while there were 2 bums to change for a while it really was much easier than I thought it would be. They have their moments but I am glad we didnt wait any longer. We have just got DD1 in a good sleep pattern (DD2 has always been a fairly good sleeper) and the thought of having another one now and going through maybe another 4 years of sleepless nights :eek: .

Keep going ladies nearly the weekend:D , although I am at work Saturday, Sunday and Monday:mad:

All washing dry except one pair of jeans and they're almost there.

Back lawn cut today (did front yesterday). Swept up next door's cherry blossom again. Job for life.

I feel very tired all of a sudden, it's that afternoon dip when I want to sleep but there isn't time.

spooky shell - that is when we are thinking of trying again, we just want to get my sisters wedding out of the way 1st in June. I swing between how great it would be, to thinking about how hard it will be, although great because they would hopefully fall in consecutive school years. I will keep weighing up the pros and cons in my head. I'd love to hear what anyone else thinks about this.

Michelle, x

:j I DID IT! :j

Sorry about the wait! I haven't had a chance to catch up on all of the posts as we've only just arrived home, but I thought I'd tell you all the good news before Owen gets back from playschool.

At 7.23am, my daughter, Freya Lucia was born! :j :beer: :j 6lb14oz after 7 hours of 'real' labour. She's tiny and sweet and soft and lovely. Healthy and alert, but a little dozy after feeding. In the end, her heart-rate dropped mid-labour, so we ended up back at the hospital, just in case. :rolleyes: Still, with the aid of gas and air and a single injection of pethidine, my baby girl was born :A

She has quite a bit of dark hair and lovely fingers! I'm sorry to post and run, but I'll catch up with everyone as soon as I can.

Thankyou all so much for your support, advice and the fact that you care about a 'virtual' stranger in the first place. :A :A :A
