Lenny - rest up girl! Hope your little fella doesn't come before your DH is off night shift.

Tracey - Like Lenny said, be good to yourself. It can be really hard, but just make sure you're getting the support you need - glad to hear your DH is there 'with' you.

That's a really nice name Ltl panda . Sounds like things are going really well with the little guy. Hope your stitches heal up soon.

I am now on maternity leave - woo hoo. god, last week was awful, but it's all over (for 13 whole weeks anyway). Had my 'swab' on Friday. That was fun. Doc also did an internal. Is it normal at the end of pg to have lots of internals? On the one hand, i am a bit curious to see if anything's happening (though I really 'knew' nothing was), but on the other I feel that with all teh test etc over the past few years I don't really want to be probed any more than is strictly necessary. In any case, knowing doesn't make things happen any quicker, hey?

Take care everyone.
