Miss Magpie - I agree with you on the shower front, that is a bit cheeky isn't it? I'm sure you will manage to have a wonderful time anyway, enjoy!

Oh Poppyfairy, my gosh you have a lot going on there, no wonder you are miserable at the moment. You must feel a little better to talk about it to someone and actually articulate why you feel the way you do. Go and get some acu/massage and take care of your self. It sounds as though things can only get better, and remember that you have a beautiful bub on the way. Thinking of you.

BOC - well done on the bargain pram, that's excellent!!! And hiding away watching old episodes of 90210 sounds alright to me! I've been watching my Seinfeld DVD's and having a good old laugh.

Hello Grub, how are you going? I mentally checked out of work at about 30 weeks, and i was heaven to finish at 35 weeks! Hope it goes quickly for you.

Hey Seph, congrats on the heartbeat. God, it's stressful in that first tri isn't it? You will get there. Hope the ms and cold go away soon.

Murph - Yippee on the date, that is awesome! and thanks for the updarted list.

PHew, my hands are sore, so a huge hello to anyone I have missed ....Smithy, BDT...keep cooking well.

AFM: WEll, i have tried acupuncture, raspberry leaf, nipple stim, sex, acupressure....I walk an hour every day......this baby is not coming.

The doctor is now concerned about my age and the placenta, and I have been convinced to be induced tomorrow. I am disappointed becasue I really wanted natural all the way, but there is just no sign of him coming. He is not engaged at all and posterior, so I suspect that it is going to be a difficult birth anyway. The doctor actually wanted to to a c/s then and there, but after an U/S which showed little Neptune to be AOK, she allowed me to wait a few more days and then go with induction. I have been warned that it may end in a c/s. So the last few days I have done a fair bit of grieving over it not going the way we planned, but I =feel that I want to get my sadness out of the way, so that I have no disappointment at the other end IYKWIM. So I am starting to feel excited that I will meet him on Sunday or more likely Monday!!!!!

So wish me luck, and I will be back soonish to ket you know that he has arrived!!!!
