    Well, it looks like Rozzie and Jude are both in the running to be the next birth, but I'm pretty sure I'll be number 3 of the three of us. I have just been working on the assumption that I'll go overtime. As far as I know, I haven't had a single BH yet either. But now that I'm home, I'm a bit more comfortable and a bit less anxious. You should see how clean the house is and how very packed my hospital bag is though! And the list of people to contact after Kebab comes, and the nursery almost completely finished, and I'm even working on making up some meals to put in the freezer so we can eat microwave for a while after the arrival. I wonder if there's such a thing as being too prepared?

    Tildy, you're clearly nesting... the nesting has yet to hit me, I'm so lazy right now. My Mum is coming to stay in a week and a half so I think I'll work her.

    it's 0230 and I can't sleep, and tonight just happens to be the night I run out of heartburn tablets... yay...

    Rozzie, Jude, Tildy...getting close now girls! I am so excited for you! The relief of hearing Anika cry was a moment I will never forget and can't wait for you all to be sobbing with relief too. I wish I'd been able to enjoy the last weeks more instead of being consumed with worry but that's behind us now...I miss feeling her in my tummy...but holding her is just the best!!! Lots of belly rubs to you all. E xxx

    Heh, it's possible that I'm nesting, but it's probably not a result of me being pregnant. DH agreed with me when I claimed that I'd always be like this if I suddenly got a 10 month stay-at-home vacation, pregnant or not. Hopefully he's more on the appreciative side of having a clean house and food on the table rather than thinking that I'm annoying and losing my mind.

    What is the purpose of the raspberry leaf tea and all that other stuff, Jude? Hmm, I'm still pretty sure I haven't felt a single BH yet. I wonder if that's a bad thing. I'll have to ask my midwife today when I see her. What I DO feel is about 3 session a day of kick boxing! I've never gotten a kick that hurts, though... just the spot where Kebab is kicking all the time ends up hurting, but the actual kicks always make me giggle.

    Ellie! I hope that what you're feeling and experiencing right now takes the place of all that worry and anxiety you had in the last few weeks and even before that. I'm just so happy for you every time I think that your too-long road finally came to its destination!

    Jude, Rozzie and Tildy - enjoy these last few weeks and I know you will have your babies in your arms in no time.

    Jude - I drank Raspberry Leaf Tea and did a few others things and Anna was still 11 days late. I would do it all again though as next time I am going to avoid induction if possible as I am super sensitive to the drip.

    Can't wait to see all these baby announcements!!!

    Hi Ladies,
    I just got back from the high risk OB. Our little man is on the big side 71st percentile. I guess he is about 2.2 pounds now. It is still so difficult to understand/believe that he is growing so well.
    I had my GD test yesterday because I have been feeling a little sick. My doctor said that diabetes wouldn't make me sick but who knows.

    Ellie, I would love to see some of your first pictures. Do you have any posted anywhere?
