JLK - get those troops at home into action with helping you out..... do up a roster from your command post. All hands on deck to help. I know that doesn't ease the anxiety though but what it might do is take away some of the responsibility you feel for maintaining the household. For me, apart from teh anxiety, that is one of the hard parts - feeling like the house is collapsing around me. It's not but it doesn't stop me feeling that way. The funny thing about anxiety is it is self perpetuating, once you start worrying it's really hard to stop and everything seems catastrophic.... not that I took my advice this past week, but try to hold on to some positives. Sending you lots of love and support. You'll get there.....

Laney - OMG - I have been so self absorped lately - look at you 19 weeks! Awesome. Glad you are getting movements - they do help. Do you have a bump?

Starbright - hope you make it too....6 July is not that far away at all. I know what you mean about trying to find a balance between the crazy woman and the labouring woman. That is something that I spend a lot of time contemplating. I try to repeat to myself, it's ok to be anxious and have things checked out. Having said that though I didn't go to the hossy on Sunday night... it was cold and I was tired and all up didn't feel I needed to go out. I was anxious but not enough to get me out of the house.... I suppose that in itself is an answer. I imagine the crazy loady is going to be visiting me a bit more from now on..... hope your pains go away and that you enjoy your Mum visiting.

AFM - feeling a little less anxious than I have been lately. Which is good. It's been a hard week for me actually. Bored, lonely, frustrated, anxious and scared. Oh well, to be expected really. As soon as I was less anxious I felt bubs moving a lot more.

Cmeggles - you're quiet - hope all is well. Thinking of you. 10+ weeks now. Go girl.

Beata - thanks - I am proud of me too. Didn't really imagine these sorts of numbers could apply to me. Nor that my bump could precede me everywhere I go..... not like little chicken is detachable! DH and I have been accepted into a trial/research program of baby PPP to see if it's of any use. Will be interesting. Will have to check with the Ob to see if I can attend the classes.... Sorry to hear Cam is unsettled.... hopefully it's just a little blip and he'll be back to his hapy content self soon. Amazing to think he's 13 weeks old now. Seems like just yesterday that you still had your bump attached.
