Hi Girls,

Anna - hope everything has settled down since last you posted. Hang in there.

Sush - yay for only 8 days of work!! Yes, you're right, Shell and I aren't far behind you. Know what you mean about the cleaning too - I just can't stop.

Shell - Yep, I'm up to fortnightly visits (in fact I have one today). It's getting closer for us now.

Skye and Didge - hope you are doing okay. Didge, I can't remember the last time I peed in a cup so am thinking your ob experience sounds fairly normal!

Trish - fingers crossed for a quick flying month for you until your next scan. It's my birthday that day but I hope all the presents will be coming your way!

Amy - Just pulling up my deckchair and getting comfortable here, ready for AmyWatch ... hope everything is going well at your end.

Second antenatal class last night. One thing I've noticed is that some of the men talk more than the women and they seem to have formed some interesting ideas about labour and childcare. Also there is one girl there who has only gained five kilos during her pregnancy and she doesn't mind letting you know about it. Hope she doesn't disappear up her own arse when she starts breastfeeding.

Only one more day until I find out whether I have secured my promotion. It's been a long haul and one massive recruitment exercise for the department. Fingers crossed.

Hope you are all well and that the new mothers are doing okay.

Love,

Mel
