Lee - the girls have had some great advice for you re BFing. It must be so frustrating for you when you fed your oldest 2 for so long with no troubles at all. I had no trouble feeding DD until I fell pg again and am just expecting it to be that easy this time, so I will be sharing your pain if it turns out not to happen quite so easily this time! Enjoy the time with your man over the weekend - sounds like it could be a good opportunity to get your supply up without all the other kiddies around wanting attention too!

BW - OMG on Sam being a size 6 shoe already!!! I had the opposite problem with DD - she is still only a size 3 shoe and is nearly 2 so can you imagine the trouble I had finding shoes that would fit when she started walking at 13 months!? Her feet were miniscule (and still are!) and I really struggled finding something to put on her teeny little feet!

Freya - I know the feeling! Some days you just crave time to yourself and then when you get it you don't know what to do with yourself! I am feeling the same way today.

Janie - good to see you back. I am also an impatient pg woman so I hear you! I also feel like I am wishing this pregnancy away but at the same time I can't help it! I hope work isn't too bad today.

Jayne - good on you for staying so calm and managing to take 4 kids to the drs! I hope the wound is healing up ok.

Hi to everyone else, hope you are all managing to avoid the heat. The forecast here is 43!! What a time to be 38 weeks pg!

It looks like I will still be hanging out waiting for this baby to arrive tomorrow when DD's babysitters return from hols so I don't need to worry about that anymore, but I am still so desperate for this bub to come out now! The thought of him coming late terrifies me. Plus we have the family descending upon us right around his due date and I really don't want to be still waiting around with my ILs staying. Sooo p***ed off that they are coming over here then, they didn't even consult us, just told us they would be arriving on the EDD. WTF?? I am still hoping it won't become an issue because bubs will have arrived by then, otherwise I am going to be one seriously cranky pregnant woman!

I have a question for those medicos among us. DD got this weird rash the other day, it was red with welts and appeared on her arms and legs and looked terrible. Then it disappeared and appeared somewhere else and then went away again. Daycare just phoned to say it has come back so I took her to the pharmacist who said it is a contact rash and gave us an antihistamine to take for a week or so and said to think about anything new she has come into contact with. I can't think of anything! We know she has no food allergies, I haven't used a new washing powder, she hasn't eaten anything unusual, she did she get her first bee sting a week ago but seemed fine after that. Any idea of what it could be? It looks terrible but doesn't bother her at all, it's not even itchy and goes away in about 10 mins anyway. Very strange.
