So i've got a new tactic for brining this labour forward - i'm going to plan something exciting for every day until he's due in the hope that murphy's law will prevail and he will come when I don't want him to as I have something on! Mind you, it seems that all the activities i'm thinking of involve spending money and now that i'm on half-pay I really should be a bit more careful.

Today's outing was a pedi, quite nice though she massaged my legs a little too vigorously and they're a little sore. Still, at least I didn't have to bend over to try to do my feet myself Oh, and I bought some books i've been meaning to read for ages with the aim of reading at least two decent books during my mat leave rather than the mindless trash i've been wasting time on. I do so hope I get my book brain back again once the chicklet is here, I love reading and was most disappointed to realise my poor pregnancy brain just couldn't seem to cope with anything highbrow or usually found in the 'literary' section. I've been reduced to reading terribly trashy chick lit books found on sale in Big W. And yes I admit i'm a bit of a snob when it comes to books so I embarrass myself - I give these books away as fast as I read them

MissAma - do you have your own doppler? I'm not sure if that would have reassured me or made me more paranoid, though I'm not sure if it was possible to get even MORE paranoid...!

Apologies for the all about me post - hope you're all cooking along nicely. Not long to go before we should have a whole swag of babies around, so very exciting
