Hi girls!

PZ: woohoo on the MW appt coming up i *think* i was about 17 weeks as well before i saw Nic...took me ages to realise that i wasnt actually wanting to go to a birth centre or hospital hahaha.

re the birth pool: i had the inflatable 'la bassine' one. really loved it. the edges are strong enough for an adult or two to sit on and support you while you are in there. there are handles and the bottom is nicely padded. super quick to get up and we found filling up also really quick (even without an instant hot water system). I think Meow had the wooden one and can give feedback on that one??

Tanya: sounds like you are well on your way I was also thinking about a mattress protector. last time it was a mad rush for a towel hahaha.

Jennifer: wishing your sister all the best for her upcoming birth!

Sara: hahaha, you crack me up lol! i hope the appointments go well

Turtlejane: i reckon it is so exciting sharing a pregnancy journey and parenting journey with a friend...very very cool.

AFM: all going well here! lots and lots of kicks and rolls now so feeling much more connected and it has made me want to get home now lol. ah well, only 3 more weeks and i will be freezing my bum off lol.
