yay greenslw! i'm so glad you got such a lovely response from your workers. i found even the people i realy didn't get along with at work were excited when i told them of the bub. there's just something about babies that soften people

as a result of my pregnancy, i find people are nicer to me. one of the girls offers every monring to fetch my chai from the local patissiere (i only say yes if she was going anyway) and i don't have to fill up the printer with paper anymore! lol... shelf is too low, paper box too heavy and i'm milking it baby!

jen - what a lovely gesture.. writing ot your bubbies. are you writing about your journey thus far or how you are feeling or such? just curious you don't have to answer if you feel uncomfortable about revealing. i tried to do that months ago but it came out like the screen play for The Notebook (i could even hear the soppy music as i reread my work lol i'm not very good at that sort of thing). so i'd love to hear how you go about it

I agree those weeks are just flying by! i can't believe i'm nearly 23 weeks!!! that's astonishing, it has gone so fast and i hope it'll continue to do so! wanna meet my new man (sorry DH).

MHB have you got some cream? and remember to eat foods to help soften things up so you don't strain and make things worse. you have really earnt this bubbee haven't you? taek care of yourself. ox
