Well done Sazz, congrats on Celeste, 12.01am arrival, obviously she wanted to be the first baby born on the 19th huh!

Ltl P - glad to hear things are going well for you, count down is on now. How good was being your sisters support person, it's like you've had a run through just without the pain (but no doubt the need for lots of energy and encouragement). Another little girl too, sounds lovely.

Nic, so glad the kicks are coming through more clearly now. Has DH & DD felt them too?? Love the popcorn idea, it makes the prospect so much more exciting for little ones when they can visualise things like that.

Marcellus the purchases sound good, and yep the planning was a fantastic feeling, it has just taken us time to get there (i never thought we'd actually sit down and do it either!)

Had midwife visit today and she stressed that "you first timers can sometimes leave packing too late, so that's your one thing to achieve by the weekend, a packed bag for labour and hospital!!" It was a midwife we'd not seen before and she was just lovely, i laughed and agreed it would be done. Actually I had started packing but mostly bubby things and basic bed clothes and pads for me! This arvo though DH gave me a huge shirt that he has never worn before due to it's size and that now the labour shirt, so we're getting there.

Hi to everyone else, hope all's well.
