Hello all. Blimey, I'm away for five minutes, and you're all on here!

Quick one - Lani and Grub. Two things, if you make a curry and then freeze it, it will get hotter and that might do the trick. Some women in rural india rub chillis up their 'Proverbial' to bring on labour but I think that's going a bit far personally Mum tells me that she was a week late and had to drink a pint of cod liver oil mixed in orange juice to bring me on, but this was the early seventies in the scottish borders, so I hope they have more technological methods than this now!!! Sounds like a recipe for the trots, never mind a baby.

We've just had our second scan. We got an extra one at 8 and a bit weeks (because of the miscarriage last time) and it was super. Arms and legs - well paddle like wafty things - check. Head, check. Looks more like a baby than an alien now... which is nice
FS gave me a massive lecture about not already booking in for the birth - yeah gods, I'm only 8 weeks! So I need to do that on Friday. Seems an awful long way off. We're going to tell a few people this weekend, but a sort of 'cautious' list.

I hope you are all well and happy. Saph - sorry your pelvis is in such a bad way. It sounds truly excrutiating. I hope it eases sometime soon. Hello and belly rubs to all xx
