Hi Lovelies,

Can't sleep so I'm surfing the net (as you do). DH has resurrected the computer and so far all is well so normal service has been resumed from this end. Thank you for the labour vibes ... that satellite dish is a great investment.

Tiff - I hope you have a very restful week's break with the family. The babies photos are beautiful too. Thinking of you while you are away.

Sush - It must have been the phrasing in my post but I didn't see the frank and beans in Anna's u/s either ... it was a very modest pic! I was remembering what it was like when I saw Willmartin's for the first time ... God, I almost needed a sedative. Didn't see his till 19 weeks though.

Hehe, Sush and Carrie with the ads - I was only thinking the other day that Lisa McCune's Coles ad with the mother's group makes me want to strangle someone. Probably her.

Shell and Anna - funny you should mention the carpal tunnel. I've only developed it this week! I feel very lucky. Anna, I hope yours improves very soon.

Sheree - Yeah, I was into the maternity wear pretty early too but now none of it fits! Great to see you sailing into second trimester ... hope it is enjoyable for you. Re vitamins ... I had Elevit for the first four or five months, then Blackmores Pg and BF, now I'm on Cenovis Pg and BF for a wee while. Only other additions have been one Evening Primrose a day, magnesium in the last three months for cramps and now Fefol for iron so I haven't done too badly. BTW I think you're having a boy too. Will you be telling us when you find out the gender or are you keeping it quiet? =)

Anna = girl

Skye = girl

(That's my bets anyway)

Well the appointment was very quick - WM still head down and engaged. Peter (the obstetrician) offered to do an internal if I wanted. I declined but said I might reconsider next week depending on how things go. He too seemed to think that it won't be much longer. He paid me a compliment ... said I was the most relaxed first time mother he'd met for a while. I told him I'd expended so much nervous energy trying to get pregnant that maybe I just couldn't do the stress thing any more!

Hope you all have a lovely day girls. Might go and grab some more kip now.

Cheers,

Mel
