Hi girls,

Sorry have been MIA. I finished work yesterday...WOO HOO! So had a hectic week trying to getting everything organised before my last day yesterday. Im Ive remembered everything! Ive told work they can call me if need be.

Firstly a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Azz on the safe arrival of your 2 beautiful boys May they grow bigger and stronger everyday. Take care and am thinking of you.

Kelly - cant believe your only 2 sleeps away from meeting your little princess. You must be so excited Good luck and cant wait to hear from you next week

Grub - I cant imagine how your feeling and what your going through right now. Thats such a crappy thing to happen at this stage of your pregnancy. We are all here for you. Take it easy. xx

Seph - sorry to hear about your MS. Its not very pleasant. Hope it eases up for you.

Murph - good luck on Wednesday. Hope they can give you some more infinitive answers. As for a c-section, as long as Jazzy arrives safely is what counts. As for recovery, I had 2 laparotomies done last year which are bigger cuts than a c-section. They did hurt and recovery took between 4 - 6 weeks and my tummy still isnt the same now! From what my friends who've had c-sections have told me, lots were up and walking the next day. As long as you get help when you're home is the key as you are restricted with what you can do. Take care and keep us informed.

BOC - congrats on the good NT results. Its such a peace of mind

BDT - Congrats on the confirmation that your having 2 pink bundles At least now you can go shopping By the way, you are looking TERRIFIC! Love your updated belly pics.

to smithy, saph, greenslw, poppy fairy, neptune and everyone else.

AFM, as I said earlier, I am now on maternity leave!!!! Washed all my 000 sized clothes today, together with bubs booties, mittens and bibs. The line is FULL, lol My DP is starting to stress a bit now thinking how are we going to keep up with the washing etc. Saw my OB on Wednesday and he is happy with my progress. BP is great which is a relief so the tablets are working. He is now on 2 weeks leave so will only see him once more now before he delivers the baby. Have an appt with him on the 26th in which he'll tell us about the whole c-secttion procedure etc. Its all becoming VERY real now. Was hard to say goodbye to everyone at work. Lots kept telling me how much they'd miss me. As much as Im looking forward to not travelling to and from the city, ive been at my job nearly 20 years so its a huge change to be staying home for the next however months. My feet and back will thank me mind you as they have been hurting lots. All the extra weight isnt doing me any favours.

Belly rubs to all and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Take care,

Tania
