Paula, big congratulations!!!!!

Renee, hope things start to look up with your Grandfather. Question for you if you get time: my friend is 8 weeks pregnant and has day long MS, she said that she's been put on chemo drugs for the MS, a tablet that is dissolvable in water, about $12 a tablet. I figure you're the best person to ask re terrible MS - did your doc ever suggest anything like that? Apparently the drugs are safe for baby, but I just read 'chemo' and got a bit worried about side effects.

Juniper, have a good time in Sunny Sydney ;-)

Airline, I love what you did to surprise your folks, you put so much thought and effort into it. Re North West, I did the tour and found out the new maternity wing wont be ready until around January, so unfortunately Brunette and I will be in the old wing, whereas if you select NW as your hospital you'll be in the brand spanker!! nice! And I filled out the online form and then wondered why I hadn't heard from anyone, then found out you also need to fill in the paper form. I think with the pre-natal classes you book in after 12 weeks but before you hit 15 weeks (from memory) to secure your spot. It's $200. With pregnancy yoga you don't need to have done any yoga beforehand. I meant to book in at about 15 weeks but just never got around to it, and now finances are tight I don't think I'll be able to anyway. There's yoga on the wii fit so maybe I can do a bit of that, or see if I can ebay a pregnancy yoga dvd or something.

MaggiePie - that hot water situation in that hospital doesn't sound that great, I would hope that they have other perks that would make you choose it as your hospital?

My DH tells me that his Dad spoke to him yesterday and asked how I was going and if I was showing yet? Um, I'm a week off being 6mths pregnant, nothing fits, I'm normally small, so um, what do you think? ha ha, men! I just hope that he shows more interest in this grandchild than he does in his other 2 (DH's sister's kids).

I have got a pile of washing and folding to get to, so I hope you've all had a great weekend, and big belly rubs to all.
