Hello all,

gee, it's a bit quiet here at the moment - hope that's a sign that we're all going along so swimmingly well that we have nothing to say

I'm typing this on my new laptop - forgot who asked me (sorry, bad pregnancy brain!!) but I am definitely enjoying the Mac! DH is taking a bit longer to adjust, but that's because he works from home sometimes and needs word etc., and is having trouble without the usual shortcuts...!

Wantbaby - hope you're feeling okay and not too roly poly with all the additional food you're consuming! Thinking back properly, I don't think I did actually gain any weight in the first trimester either, it's all since then, though I don't think i've put on any weight lately and i've been continuing with my Nestle milk choc bits on an almost daily basis (it's embarrassing I know ) so not sure how i've managed that! No pics from Ky yet, will let you know if she posts any.

KitKat - wow, what a saga with your BP! I'm definitely counting myself lucky that mine has been fine in pregnancy, it can sometimes be a bit high but since i've been pg it's been low and although i've read it should start getting higher as you get closer to the end it's even lower than ever! Will be curious to see how I go at the OB today. Anyway, hope your BP continues to stay at a good level.

LondonMiss - hope you're feeling better so you can enjoy having your friend around! I thought of you on the weekend when we had a garage sale of my grandfather's old stuff - in amongst everything DH found a little bell which he presented to me. He clearly wasn't thinking at all as i've been ringing it constantly when i'm on the couch or in bed and am too lazy to do something,

Brunette - DH and I have just finished classes, we started at 32 weeks, but we didn't really have much of a say when we did them as the hospital enrolled us in these classes when they sent us all our admission papers, which my OB gave us at our first visit so we haven't really had to do anything ourselves... Not sure if this is normal for private hospitals (or any hospital really) so not very helpful sorry!

smithy - my goodness Charlie is getting so big! And she looks so much like you

AFM - have an OB appointment this afternoon. I don't know why I look forward to these appointments so much, it's not like she really does much, maybe it's just another way of marking time and feeling like we're finally getting closer to the end.

So on the weekend my sister and a family friend were trying to guess names - DH and I have chosen but we're keeping them to ourselves. My sister wrote two names down, male and female, and would you believe she was spot on! I denied it of course, so she's still none the wiser but I just couldn't believe she guessed exactly what they would be!!!! She'll laugh when I finally get to tell her and my mum will just shake her head in resignation. Although there's 4 years between my sister and I we think exactly the same and my mum thinks we're like twins as we often say the same things at the same time in the same tone, freaky!!!

Anyway ladies, can you tell who's at home on mat leave with nothing to do today?! I'd better let you all go. Hope everyone is well xx
