    Monnie and Mako - it's so lovely hearing about Felix and Sage i might be delirious but can't wait till end of Feb when i can feed & hold my little girl at all hours of the night several times over! And Mako...i'll be spending my days just watching her as you do with Sage, I think that sounds like a wonderful way to spend your day!

    Lenny - congrat's on the sister settlement and the pending normality of you and DH home alone again

    Marcellous - i'm so happy for you and your little man, and you're right, not associating the gender to bub is hard, the number of people i've dropped it too without thinking...but you know, some of them don't even catch on, it's really weird!

    Well all's going well at my end. Went shopping today and caved in buying some little pink things (despite not really needing any more clothes for bubba at this point!). They're the 1st real girly things we've got other than a little white dress when we were initially told...i still have the nerves that the Midwife will say in Feb/March upon delivery "Meet your little boy!" So just as a precaution, that is definately it for pink girly clothes just incase.

    Otherwise, don't know about you guys but i'm having the fun challenge each morning finding appropriate clothes for work, lots of tops, but pants with only partial flies being done up iykwim...invested in a maternity skirt this afternoon - but i could only find one i liked and felt comfortable in, everything else just seemed awkward. I'm still only small, but given so were my clothes prior to pg, they aren't exactly coping! Will have to expand the search before the belly expands LOL

    Anyway, Dh just called, we're having Thai (YUM!!), so must ring through the order for him to pick up. Have a great weekend everyone....DJ hope you have some answers and the contractions either subside or lead to a wonderful safe and healthy early labour!

    Mako - it's so good to hear that your Dh is being a big help although I did have a giggle re: nappy changing.
    My Dh says he's never changing a nappy but our midwife at our antenatel classes said they make the dad's do it, he he.
    I think it's the least the dad's can do after what we go through, mind you Dh also always said he would never be in the birthing suite & now just try & keep him away.

    Lenny - wow what a relief it must be knowing you will very soon have the house to yourselves again.

    Monnie - well done on getting Felix to sleep so well, I've heard other mum's say cluster feeding is a good idea before bed.
    Feel free to give us any advice you want.

    Kimbe - I had problems with clothes not fitting really early on as well, I found Mother & Me to be a great shop for good fitting maternity clothes I am in Perth though so I'm not sure if you have that shop.
    When you get bigger though K-mart believe it or not is the next best shop for maternity clothes, I found Pumpkin Patch to be quite hopeless.

    I went to dr today & he just said again that yes she will probably be coming soon & that all these contractions were actually a good thing (hmmm I'd like to see him have them, lol) & that yes it should make labour a bit easier.

    He said he is happy to induce me at 38 weeks but I just don't know about that as I've heard so many negative things about inducing on bb.

    I guess I will just see how I go over the next few days, hopefully I will in the very near future go into labour myself & not have to worry about it! (and before I get to exhausted).

    I didn't get a good chance to ask alot about inducing either as he had to rush off to deliver a little one.

    Maybe I will have to have some alone time with Dh on the weekend to spur things on iykwim!!!
