    Sara - thinking of you. Thank you for sharing the story of Reid's birth with us.

    Mostly ppl haven't asked about transfer, but I have offered the info if the conversation has progressed. Thankfully, probably because it's close now, I haven't had negativity. I have a fair few dr and nurse friends, but all they did was give me recommendations when I asked about obs at the local hospital. I think DP had one less than positive comment early on from a dr friend, but she didn't say anything to me. No idea why, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm less than approachable!

    We got the hose from the friend who lent us the pool and took it with us to get fittings. It was a bit trickier and the hardware guy did ask if we really needed that hose, but we have everything we need. Next thing for DP to install! He put in the baby capsule for me yesterday.

    Baby has settled into my pelvis again, I'm feeling more pressure on my bladder all of a sudden. And I'm really tired again by the end of the day. Not to mention completely disinterested in moving away from home. DP nearly got his head bitten off when he told me he wanted to have his employees over for a BBQ! They're going out somewhere instead. I think I'll start getting the room ready next weekend.

    I'm still determined she'll be a January bub though!

    Sara: I second Jennifer in thanking you for sharing Reid's birth journey. I am sorry that he grew wings xx

    Jennifer: I was like that too. i had forgotten about that! basically if it wasnt just a waddle down the road then i wasnt interested in those last few weeks lol. which is a big change for me as i am usually out and about and exploring non stop. i wonder if it was like that because i was having baby at home?

    it stayed that way after her birth as well. i really enjoyed the act of 'slow' parenting ITMS.

    Arcadia: i sooo need to PM you for a catch up! finally out of illness and family visits! slack bum that i am!

    I have just started having 'i'd like to be a hermit' feelings this week (just gone 35 weeks pg), fatigue has kicked in at the same time. Unfortunately, haven't organised christmas or other things so can't quite hermitise yet. Spending the day at home and doing some cleaning.
