murph, the small milestones are the best way to survive these scary pregnancies - it's so full on thta you can't live for huge milestones, just the little ones. mine, at the moment, is sunday next week - i'll be 34 weeks - 34 weeks, i can give birth locally - woot! when i was nice and early, it was living from appt to appt, work day to work day - and rewarding myself when i survived the gaps as they got bigger!

shopping was a nightmare - but i think i survived (just) - my 8 year old niece stayed last night and she helped DH and I with the shopping - she was a huge help - and a fantastic distraction when the pelvic pain got bad enough to have me doubled over. she's now back here for another night (normally one night is the limit, but she's here til tomorrow night cos she's been so good! she's planning on helping dh to cook tonight and tomorrow during the day to build up a food stash in the freezer again. she's been so well behaved - it's gorgeous. she is hanging out for the birth of this bubba - i don't think i'll get rid of her once Gremlin arrives!

Nicole - i should have the change station set up later today - just need to give my pelvis a break for a while first! will upload pics as soon as i do though! oh, i have the mathilda chest too and worked out the logistics of changing in that room, for now at least, just aren't workable so i'll have stuff sitting on top (at the moment, it's all her easter teddies that she got from the family lol)
