Hi girls,

Sal, great news about being home. I read your birth story and Tam's also and agree with Mel that it helps reading your honest, forthright stories. I have been stressing a bit about labour the last few weeks and whether DH will cope, but like Mel, am getting calmer about the whole thing now.

DH has done an about face in the last few days and is suddenly the one panicking about how little time we have to prepare. He's booked the car in for a complete overhaul, plus organised the capsule to be fitted in 4 weeks and now wants the baby furniture in sooner rather than later. I don't know what happened. I think maybe that magic 30 week mark is round the corner and it's suddenly hit him it's actually all going to happen. This change of heart has certainly made me more confident in him being there for me, so I think that's it.

Mel, I've absolutely had it with work, and am counting the minutes until I can leave. Always having liked helping people out at the helpdesk, now I'm feeling like yelling to most of my clients ,"don't be so bl**dy stupid!". In particular to those clients who call day after day about the same d*mned problems. I suspect my patience in generally is wearing thin, and that's a clear sign that it's time for me to leave, I think. It's good to see you won't be far behind, with shell hopefully hot on our heels.

Hello to everyone else. I'm a little grumpy in general today with having to be back at work tomorrow, but otherwise the weekend was quite nice, and I'm hoping you guys enjoyed yours too!

love
sushee
