Hey Mitf - how lovely to hear from you. Glad to hear you are feeling well - and on maternity leave
I'm basking in the glow of a sunday morning when you know you cleared up before going to bed.... happy days. We had 11 people for dinner last night, this eating for two is getting really out of control ho ho ho ho.... no, seriously, our last entertaining before Little Miss comes along, so I feel like we've banked lots of favours in coming weeks/ months. And we cooked too much so our freezer will be well stocked up too!

Juniper - not sure if it's too late, but if you search on the Delia Smith (co.uk) website, she does a wonderful oven cooked risotto that is the simplest thing in the world to cook and no slaving at all.
Leabie - hope the MS is getting better
Paula - god, that's the same reaction mine had about shaving. Anyone would think I was sporting some sort of neanderthal bush normally ..honestly!
Lise - feeling for you. I have really got backache now, which I'm trying to seeing as one of the 7 signs of early labour rather than just another bloody pregnancy symptom bingo that I can check off. I'm only really comfortable in the bath... usually fantasising about a glass or four of shiraz.... Big belly rubs to everyone else, sorry can't flick back to the old thread very easily.

AFM nothing really to report. Kicking is very very strong but less regular. My lavender wheat bag is a lifesaver for my back. I'm now doubled to twice weekly yoga and weekly massage, and its helping me keep some sanity and frankly its not like I've got anything better to spend my money on. DH has decided to go on a health kick, its quite funny given that an archeologist would probably identify me as a pygmy hippo than any form of human at the moment. I'm looking forward to eating leftovers for the next hundred years... hope you are all well and hope you have lovely sundays x
