Sush, LOVE the belly, love the butterflies! i have one on my ankle and DH reckons when my ankle swells it turns into a terradactyl! (sp?) We lovingly call it the moth.
Gab, glad to hear all is going well for you and munchy, hopefully, he will make an appearance soon. Well, we KNOW he is going to come soon, all babies have to come out sooner or later!
Sal, that book sounds great, so much focus is on the labour and birth and women spend so little time in hospital now that after birth education goes out the window alot of the time. How are you, anyway? Can we have a belly shot yet?
As for me, went to the doctor yesterday, two hours for a ten minute consult YUCK. They've upped the insulin and smacked me on the hand for not phoning to tell them my sugars were still out of whack, Ivy and Noah are fine, Noah is head down (ironic when it's going to be a LSCS) and Ivy is transverse, accross the top of my belly. I told him all about the pain along my scar, the two scary days, the dizziness and fainting. So he repeated my iron, sent me for a uterine thickness scan and booked me for admission on the 30th and said hang in there. The scan showed that the lower segment is very stretched and quite thin but still intact. I could have told them that cos if the uterus had ruptured the three of us would not be here. I did argue with the doctor about the scan because in my mad researching of uterine rupture I found articles that stated that u/s was a poor indicator of thickness, dihissence and rupture but he said it would be good. When I got there, the u/s doctor said exactly the same thing to me that I had argued with the doctor about. *SIGH* ](*,)
Anyhow, emotionally, I am much the same I fight with myself constantly and stress.. I haven't seen my dad this week yet. my mum is having a baby shower for us on Sunday (my first ever) and he said he MIGHT drop in then. I guess when it comes to the birth of these babies, everyone has a personal opinion as to where I should be. Alot of my midwife friends say I should just go to hospital now due to all the pain and the stress associated with it, on the other hand, I have to take into consideration the other kids and David and our lack of help until December. Maddy, the second of the elder twins (that sounds weird) is such a stress head and worries alot about where I will be and if I will be ok. All the kids are anxious. The other thing with going into hospital is that I will lose my main support system (David) because he will have to be home with the kids.
Rambling now, sorry, just nutting it out with you.
Amy, glad to hear that all is well with you too
Shell, good luck for today, can't wait until we know the flavour!
Jo, how are you going?

Gotta go, going to town with a friend for her u/s to see how many eggies she's got brewing for harvest!
