Nox - you go and get those M&M's and enjoy crunching every last one LOL!!!! It does get hard when things get uncomfortable, but it does get better for a while, then back to the uncomfortableness (is that word!) again later. Re the holiday, I love the warm weather (not too warm though!) and I loved showing my big baby bump in a pair of togs. Lounging by the pool with a good book, lollies, chips, etc is my idea of a good holiday LOL!!! Whatever you decide, any holiday is a good holiday. I didn't find out the sex with both pregnancies. My philosophy was, you don't get many true surprises in life, these were mine. As I've said in previous posts, I think it helped me deliver Marley as I was so desperate to find out what it was LOL!! There are so many pros and cons for each side though.

Ella - great to hear your back is ok, apart from your many bruises! How exciting being in your new house. You must be so excited to start your nursery! That was my big thing - I couldn't wait to start it and buy everything at once! The quietness must seem strange after Chapel St. Learn to ignore alot of people when your pregnant - everyone thinks its their right to push their opinions on you, however well meaning they are. Some people are so negative too! You go and enjoy your wonderful holiday and I am sure the baby will enjoy a nice relaxed mummy too!
