Hi girls

JenC - Wow, 9/9/09, that's cool! How exciting, I will be thinking of you on Wednesday. Glad you enjoyed your baby shower, and yes I don't know where I would be without my girlfriends.

Saph - you poor thing, I hope you are okay, take care.

Mels - Good luck over the next few days, and if nothing happens naturally, then WOOOHOOO for Tuesday, and I can't wait for your news.

Murph - Families are rarely straightforward, I am sorry about your Nan, makes it a bit more of a challenge to grieve when the understanding is not there.

Hey to everyone else, I am very tired and can't sit still for long because of a little foot in my ribs and back pain.

AFM: The clean up is happening, but at the moment it is worse than ever. Can't watch TV or really sit anywhere or do anything because of all the stuff everywhere, but he is moving stuff! I am finding it hard to see a way out in time for the baby, but I feel better knowing he is trying, and I think he does too because we are getting along really well. He has the enxt few days off, so fingers crossed I get a nursery by the time I go on maternity leave this Thursday.

YAYAY! Maternity leave. Now that I am here at 34.5 weeks, I realised I should have left at 33. I am not coping at work with the fluid retention an general discomfort, so REALLY happy to be finishing this week.

I had my baby shower yesterday - we had a high tea at the Hyatt and it was lovely. I had a couple of sips of very nice champagne!

Not very comfy at the moment. I am finding sitting/driving very difficult because there is a foot in my right ribs, but if I lean back into the couch just a little bit, I think the baby/uterus is blocking off the venous return because I feel sick and giddy. So I am finding I have to move around a fair bit. Maybe he will move down a bit soon and it will settle.

Sorry for the long ME post.
