Been MIA cos it's been manic at work and a new thread already. Lots to catch up on (deep breath) here goes

SeaChange well done on you pg and welcome.

Saph hang in there

Thanks for the list Boc Well done, geeze I'm close now.

Poppyfairy do you have a feeling on your DD I'm thinking either the 20/1 or 2/2 for me. No idea why just have a 2 feeling

Grub you sound so happy (if a little tired) so good to hear. Wishing you and your now bigger family a wonderful Christmas

Merry Christmas to all the wonderful BB mums and mums to be. I'm thinking of all of you around the Christmas table unable to eat ham and drink wine (for just a little while) but it is so worth it

ATM work has been nuts but it's all done. and now I feel like maternity leave is calling even if it is a couple of weeks away. I just need to clean my office, handover and then relax. My bosses baby came a couple of days after she finished so I'm hoping I get the full two weeks at home on my own.

I have had so much energy the last week, Can't sit NESTING but my body is feeling it. My feet were so sore the other night they felt like they were on FIRE! So I"m tring not to pace so much but having the nursary 90% set up is so amazing.

My friend had her scan and there was a HB at 6.2 weeks so I have a pg friend again. Still keeping everything crossed for her but I have a good feeling. And I can pass all my pg books and mags on, Clear some space for all the parenting stuff.

Can't believe it's Chrismas eve, I finish work at 4.30 then gather all the food to take to mums for a light supper, then tomorrow it's the HEAVY lunch (small gathering of DH mum and one of our firneds) then a lot of friends popping in and out all day. I really love Christmas.
