Hi Girls,

How are we this fine (hot again....) Monday morning???

Mel - sorry to let you down chookie, but Munchy is still happily kicking away in my belly! Not much to really report... Well done on your shopping and the unexpected Medicare bonus. I have to say, gotta love medicare. I recently paid a part of my obs bill ~$3000, and took it to medicare and they gave me back about 2500 - was so happy with that. It seems money is just flying out of this house left, right and centre, so it is nice to get some back, LOL!

Tiff - I am so, so sorry to hear about your dad. Dealing with cancer is always bad, but seeing it beat and erode your loved ones is one of the hardest things anyone has to deal with. On top of dealing with the sad passing of your little man, I must say that you are allowed to have your fair share of bad days. I hope that you find some positive times in each day, especially when your babies kick to let you know they are in there and love you, and in a few short weeks you'll have them in your arms to help you through each day. I pray that your Dad hangs in there to meet them, so you may get some treasured memories. All my love and hugs to you. You are a strong person to deal with all of this and still be as positive as you are. Keep your chin up, and vent, chat, rave away - I know that the girls here have really helped me through the hard times.

Jo - beeeautiful tummy!! Cutie Jack!! You are just beautiful and don't let yoiurself think otherwise, LOL!! I think pregnant women just glow, and I think that their belllies are gorgeous - I love seeing all of everyones piccies!! Hope all is well with you otherwise, and your aches and pains are settling down!

Sush - hope you are well, and work is treating you nicely! When will you stop work??

Baby dreams - bellyrubs back to you!! Hope you are well too!!

Sal - loooong time no hear - hope your exams went welll, and that you can rest back and enjoy from now!

TamB - how is it going?? Hope you are resting heaps and babies are thriving!

Big hello's and bellyrubs to everyone else I have missed today! Hope you are taking it easy!

Well, as for us - 38w today!! Cannot believe it! Munchy should be fully grown now, so even if he comes early now, all should be well. Cannot bellieve that we have almost made it. Just have to get him out into the world safely now, LOL!!

Saw my obs last week, still thrilled with everything. My BP is still sitting happy at around 100/60, so no probs there. Having a lot of probs with swelling though - I have hobbit feet!!, just need the tufts of hair on them, and the look is complete. Had to laugh - almost could not fit any shoes on the other day, so I thought about going to see him barefoot - good look hey??

Funny, I have this feeling that for all my on/off BH and mild contractions, Munchy is so happy and content in there that he'll be late. The obstetrician has given me an end date though - if I have not had Munchy by due date, (he was happy to induce me anytime from now) - but I said I was happy to wait till 41 weeks, so if he has not come out before then, I will get induced on either the 5th or the 6th of December. How funny to have a theoretical birth date!!!

Well, that is about all - not doing much these days as I have the agililty and mobility of a walrus.... and back to having granny naps in the afternoon.

Hope everyone is having a nice Monday,

Bellyrubs to all,
