Nox - going on holiday before bubs arrives is a brilliant idea. I was maid of honour at my BF's wedding, which was in Noosa, at 32 weeks pregnant. Apart from the wedding preparations, we had such a relaxing time and it was just what I needed. If you get the opportunity, do it! I finished up work when I was 34 weeks with Chelsea and 36 weeks with Marley. I must admit, the extra time off was nice and I was able to relax. LOL about you managing your project while giving birth!!!! Gotta love the sweet tooth. My craving with Chelsea was M&M's! I once ate a 500g bag in one sitting and had the sorest jaw from crunching so many!!!! Your 20 wk scan will be here before you know it.

Ella - so glad to hear you aren't too hurt. Although you sound like you are in a bit of pain with your back. Hope you found someone to check it out. Babies have plenty of cushioning in there, so you shouldn't worry. It's funny how some partners want to know the sex and others don't. I have a few friends pregnant at the moment going through the same scenario. Most of the time the girls win out!!! Good luck trying to get him to come around.
