Hello everyone,

well all things being equal and provided that Jasmine does not decide to turn now, she will here on Thursday. I am really excited now. I wouldn't have believed it if you told me I'd look forward to it but I've had lots of my fears dispelled about the epidural and caesarian. I know I can read horror stories if I want but I'm choosing to look at experiences like KellyD's and lots of the other girls who have shared previously. We also met with the lovely anaesthetist and he was great...so stay breech Jazzy and we'll have you out in a jiffy

Aww shucks Grub, you make me blush. I'm not good at compliments, much better with sarcasm

Mum's in Best and Less as we speak buying me some Nana nighties. I went out and bought some super duper excellent on special button down tops and p.j pants at Sussans which I live in before finding out about the nightie dilemma. So I text the keeper of all nana nighties and none of hers are suitable for BF. She'll spot a bargain, $7.00 was her last offer. I bought one really cute one at Kmart but it's all they had other than smocks and moo moos and I still fit non-maternity size 12

Saph, I hope you got to enjoy the ballet pain-free. I thought labour was kicking in for me lastnight, I had all sorts of different pains and we were on alert thinking we'd need the ferry driver's after hours number.

BOC - cute belly pics. I just had my last ones taken today wearing exactly what I had on the first time we could see the bump growing (14 weeks) and at 38 weeks, I'm enormous at least by my own comparison (if noone elses My tum never really changed from those measurements where I got everyone out with the measuring tapes...I'm now 103cm when I stretch the tape. How are you all faring?

Smithy, thanks for the tour of Charlie's room. So warm and welcoming and you've done so well being so sick. I haven't exaggerated about Jasmine's room and I wish I could show you, she has her cradle in one side of our wardrobe with no doors on in our bedroom and that is it! Poor little bugger, I'm not showing her your video I think she's putting up shelves in the womb and going to settle in as it's bigger than what she's moving out to. I have got a beautiful ruby red mozzie net draped above and at least her little space in the world will have a theme, so going with lady bugs which I adore and it's been our ticker so I'm even more attached.

Hey to all the lovely girls who have newly become mums and are recovering and bonding at home with your babies. we still think of you often...the list is so long, but you know who you are. This is like my Oscars speech as I will soon be stepping off too and looking back fondly at the support you've all given me.

Baby Dreamtime, take it easy and look after those little twinnies and you too Bella. Glad to hear you are both traveling well in twinville, despite your many aches and pains and worries along the way.

Miss Magpie, so soon for you now too. If you don't overtake me again, I think you're next. I'd better go update. Take care and hope you are preparing for your c/s like me and not getting freaked out.

Poppiefairy and all the lovely girls I know I've missed (again), I hope you are all going well and looking after yourselves. I keep thinking of your last post Poppiefairy and it really gives me a lift to know so many of us are in similar situations, literally worlds away but able to come together here for support. yes, I think you all worked it out, I'm a humanist...give me Maslow over Freud any day.

Lots of love to you all. for me that Jazzy now stays breech, little bugger.xoxo
