Here's my birth story: Planned HBAC2 (accidental freebirth) of Charlotte

[Arcadia]

Yay welcome back Tegam! And congrats!

I'm a contender for next baby born. I haven't gone over 40 weeks yet...but there's always a first! Due date is 3 feb.

i was hoping to have baby last night. i had a massage yesterday, and DD stayed at my mum's overnight, so only one little person at home. and i'm over it. but the bump is still there this morning. i will prob still be pg in March

Get photos organised from the last year (of your bigger kids - I'm planning on doing photo books for every year).

Finish your pg journal (or start it...), for this one and the last (if you're anything like me!). I plan on just cutting and pasting all my old BB posts into a Word doc and printing it out, but you might be more imaginative than I am!

Fill out the PPL forms online (you can do it before bub is born and then it's ready to go after the birth) via Centrelink, or the App.

Start knitting/crocheting/sewing for baby and other kids for winter. I got started on a cardy for DD1 about four months ago and it will be finished by winter. Really, it will!

Does that help? Lol (And if you are so organised that all those things are done, would you be at all interested in doing mine??? Or at least passing on your secret... )

Hi Ozstar! I thought you might be planning a HB. I still stalk in here, even thought there are definitely no more babies for me Good luck with all your plans xx

Hehehe, same here please. I'd settle for finishing the baby clothes (At least I started!) and testing the birth pool.

Other things that would make me feel better if they were done. Scrub the shower and sort out my clothes. They are everywhere, they don't fit, I don't even wear 70% of them, and I can't fit the good ones I actually like in the drawers.

It's too hot here today to be all domestic though.

Good lord, it sounds like it's time to start ignoring text messages for you girls! I did, the last two times Text messages make it easier for people to ask questions they wouldn't call you up to ask
Ozstar - if you hadn't popped in I might have outed you!
I'm thinking I might distract myself in the last weeks with my huge pile of sewing repairs that keeps being ignored...before the kids grow out of the clothes I'm meant to have repaired, even...
I've got the tireds up and I can feel this pattern is going to set in until D Day, but could also be from the hot day we had yesterday. Whichever way, I'm happy to surrender to it, particularly after tomorrow when DS is back at school and DD can't get up to nearly the mischief her and her brother together can when I'm napping!
