Woohoo Cassius! So exciting to be able to start preparing in earnest.

Is your stuff in storage?

Waaaaah I am dying to have osteo! I have been so sore and achey now for weeks, my middle back is packing it in and lower back has just joined in occasionally too. There isn't an osteopath in this town, have googled and nothing. Will be down in Melbourne soon, I am going to drive myself in, can't wait too much longer, driving me mad. Although driving in the car seems to make my back sore

Had my midwife appointment yesterday and found out my iron is down and out again, gah! Thought I was a bit more drained than normal but put it down to being 33 weeks - at the business end. So better get back onto the iron.

Haven't come across any other homebirthing mummas here either but to be expected I guess, would be awesome though. The woman who took my blood was very intrigued though and asked lots of questions so was nice to feel her enthusiasm as she sucked my blood out LOL.

Meow: oh the skirting boards imagine how dirty they are!!!!!!!!! 4 more weeks and I am there

Kelly: it would be good if you could spend the night in melb after the osteo too. I always struggle with low iron. lentils baby!!!

Jennifer: nah, unless you call the girls' bedroom storage lol. luckily we were able to get people to look after our house and animals by moving pretty much straight in. it meant we couldnt rent out the house properly but it has been good peace of mind.
