POPPY - CONGRATUALATIONS LOVE!! welcome robin patrick what a horrid midwife! and how empowered do you feel to have done that!!! he's so gorgeous and i noticed you are still dressed in that pic a few mins after his arrival! gorgeous pics you have there!

ella's mum - dtd - oh the joy in late pregnancy lol. what did high pants call it? riding a camel lol.

saph - hope you aren't too put off by your little one's size atm love but it sounds like the ladies in your family get the short end of the baby size stick! at least for the labour part lol. remember we make babies we can handle yeah, can't say i'm a fan of pregnancy, i'd love another but having to do that 10 months plus all the IVF crap again really isn't warming my socks.

wantababy - yes i got lots of sharp pains and weird feelings across my tummy, back and legs. it's just the baby moving in and making some space i think. My BF bought a stethoscope to listen to her bub, she said it was heaps cheaper and gave her that little bit of assurance at times of 'freak out'. ykwim?

lm- romantic weekend! woot woot. HOpe you had a great time love. and send that rain this way!

greenslw - labour vibes. that last stretch when you are so big and umcomfy is just terrible hey! but hope you are enjoying your mat leave. glad to hear you stopped when you needed to. My DH got really emotional during the labour, not cos of the baby tho, he said it was cos of the pain i was in and the strength i showed. He said he was in awe of me , which made me feel great of course. These blokes, they are so sweet.

kyra - how did the move go? all settled??? Our Ash was on the small side of average and we had a 32week scan cos he had just one umbicial artery (having another scan next week) but all is well. Wow about the course! that's fabulous news, sending you saving vibes lol.

boc - that's no good about the GD? and big hugs for that very sad annivesary lovely oxox Gee that time has flown by love, before you know it little cookie will be here. And lol at the sneezing. Ash got two huge milky sneezes all over me yesterday... but he did a huge explosive poo on his daddy awhile ago so i'll take the sneezes lol.

hi dusty - glad to see your little phoenix is sticking strong love I had a 12, 20 and 32 week scans. the 32 week one was for development concers due to a single artery in the umbilical chord. When you first go off all scans and regular screening, it's really hard. especially in that 12 to 20 week time when you aren't feeling movements yet. but once the movement comes on i found that the most comfort. A nice cold glass of juice or coke would get ash kicking if he'd been quiet.

smithy - tap, tap, tap, tap ... waiting!!! lol.

bdt - hi lovely, i hope those girls are playing nice and growing big and strong these next few weeks. Come on bubbas, be nice to mummy and stay put and grow, grow, grow nice and strong. and congrats on the local delivery location. much easier for everyone i should think.

hi lani - you and me the same - i never quite get on! i read the posts and intend to post but someone usally decides to call just at that moment. hope you and Jett are well.

lilmiss - sorry to hear you guys lost your FIL and have had such a difficult time. sneding you big hugs love. and YOU take care of you sweetie.

oh lise - darling that sounds like you've had a really emotional time too. i hope your year starts to improve and that is lovely your grandad had his family there, as painful as it is watching them slowly go, I found with my granddad (cancer too) that is was real priviledge to be there with him and know he died surrounded by family and love. It is something that changed me and will stay with me for life. ox

melbel - the end is in sight!!! not long now love.

paula - hi love! hope you are well and healthy.

seph - good to see you've come back to us lol. what is it about KI?? lol. YAYAY boys rule the roost round here lol. thought 2010 was going to be the girl year heehee.

Well i've been MIA cos bub has been very unsettled. A bit colicky, ugh. But hopefully we are getting on top of it now, the heat isn't helping and he's getting overtired. He's growing great guns, nearly put on 1kg in just a month eeek! He's long and thin, so will be tall like his daddy.

and Greenslw - the rest thing is true but i always said you can't stock up on sleep so rest when YOU feel like it! plus it's amazing how you adjust to your new sleepign schedule. I haven't slept more than 5hrs in a row for over a month but i'm not a zombie or anything.

thinnking of you all... ash is starting to stir. best go feed him, it's warm today.
