Mitf - hope the chores are going along smoothly, it would be good to feel as organised as possible, I imagine - hopefully I'll be organised when the time comes!

Brunette - I've been having those weird pains too, they freaked me out at first, good to hear they're just part of the process. I actually thought the remaining cysts on my ovaries might've been causing it, but found out today the cysts are gone. As for feeling self-conscious about your tummy, people are a bit insensitive / have no clue sometimes, do they? I hope they get over it soon, and leave you be.

LondonMiss - so very exciting about your new laptop! Which brand did you get? Thanks for the hot air balloon analogy! Loved it.

Lise - do you have to wait til Friday to see the acupuncturist?! Hopefully you won't make it to the next OB appointment, but if you do, fingers crossed he'll get the ball rolling, so to speak!

Paula - good to hear that wriggly Tiana is letting you know she's there! So looking forward to actually feeling the baby move, instead of hanging out for each ultrasound.

Wishes - hope the organisation is coming along nicely. That sounds like a great plan, watching telly for the last couple of weeks - nice and relaxing.

Wantbaby2 - can't believe that people say things like that to you about your belly. Its probably a bit rude to punch them in the head, isn't it? That's what I'd feel like doing though

Loula, CK77, KitKat, Renee, glenny_c , Lairdoz, Juniper and everyone I've missed - hello! Hope you're all well and happy.

AFM - I'm on cloud 9 today, just had our nuchal scan (its always so lovely to see the baby, and see its still there!), and the doc just rang with results - our risk dropped from 1:199 to 1:2700! So excited, I would've been happy with 1:400... DH and I were blown away seeing the bub wriggle around and wave at us, it was magical. Size is still bang on target too, just one big relief, really! Happy days. Now we can REALLY start telling people!
