Merry Christmas everyone - and welcome Kz'sMum, congrats on such great news, it sounds like the news has been long awaited.

Ltl Panda - Glad to hear the hol's were good.

Well, the school hol's have begun for me and i'm happy as. Yesterday was a little food shopping for Chrissy then sitting back reading the paper and my current book, over a light lunch. Today, decided to do bubby washing and after separating colours,it was 2 white washes, then a yellow, then a green and then a pink/purple/blue/red combo. All bubba's things are ready for snuggling! It's amazing how many little things fit in the machine, I mean, it covered all the muslin wraps, blankets, sheet sets, a godzillion singlets and coveralls and everything else, I couldn't believe it, but gosh it was fun. I didn't even mind the walk up and down the steps from the line to the nursery and then back to the washing machine each time.
And yep, I know it's a little early, but i figured better to get it done whilst i'm feeling good and pumped rather than when i'm too exhausted by the peak of summer. Anyway, in between washes it was another day of lazing in the sun with the papers and my book, a light lunch, yummy nana smoothie, and lots of naughty little snacks. I am loving Christmas already!

Girls (and DH's and unborns!) have a great Christmas however you all celebrate it, hope it's full of laughs (and is also as relaxing as it can be for you all). Speak to you post Chrissy, am looking forward to hearing all the family and MIL stories!!! LOL.

Welcome Kenzie'smum! what a lovely chrissy present indeed, and congrats on the great scan.

Glad your scan went well Satya and you got some good pics. They're so great to see, aren't they? Wish you all the best for your amnio later on. Too bad that you missed out on food at your dinner!

Sazz, good news on your scan too! I guess you're doc is just not too good at measuring... Anyway, all sounds about right, so that's good to hear.

Lenny, cancelling christmas is a great idea... no, really!. we had our chrissy day lunch on saturday since we can't all be together tomorrow (sister's off with in laws, brothers going to japan to ski - now he has the right idea..). Anyway, we cancelled presents years ago and havn't looked back. what a relief to avoid all that tedious shopping.

The body pillow helps with sleeping, but i can only sleep on my right and then that side gets uncomfortable and i flail around but there's no other way to lie... oh, and 4am seems to be a very busy time for jelly these days.

and yeah, who would marry a kiwi?!

Sazz, do you mean 7lb3oz is big, according to her? that's below average, isn't it? Not great dining room conversation, hey?

So organised Kimbe... does this mean i have to do that in a few weeks? How do you manage light meals? I always regret eating lots but i'm so bloody hungry!

Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! I have to go work now - sad face for me.
