Smithy - oh my goodness, I'm stunned by your post. How you have managed to get through such a hideous experience is amazing. Thank goodness you have now got so much happiness in your life.

Lise - very jealous to hear about your scan on Monday, I'm counting down the days to mine. DH will actually be in the country for this one which is nice!!! Good luck and I hope you see lots of jumping and swimming about

Out the corner of my eye, I can see the dog stalking a pigeon (Imagine a lion stalking a gazelle, I think she thinks she looks like that). Did I tell you I found her in the kitchen with her mouth round a pigeon the other day. Disengaging flea ridden pooping pigeons from a dog's slavering mouth is not really a good job for a pregnant lady!
