Wow, I didn't realise how long its been since I've posted (of course I'm always lurking and thinking of you all).

WTH - Congratulations again on the birth of your prince! I am so happy he is finally in your arms and that you and he are doing well. Enjoy your babymoon.

zstar - Glad everything went well with the amnio and that your little boy is healthy.

LizJessie - If that's not nesting, I don't know what is! Wow! Can't be too far away now.

greenslw - I haven't heard about not hanging washing either. I hear you on the old lady noises - my joints always feel stiff after sitting down in the evenings, even if its only for a few minutes. Hope you enjoyed your pedicure.

erybery - Hopefully you and Ella will find your routine soon. I hope you're both well. Thanks for sharing your birth story.

chappas - 6 weeks already! Glad you and Daniel are doing well.

smallfryplus - Happy birthday to DD1 for the other day. Glad she enjoyed her day.

to everyone else

AFM - I spent a few days in Melbourne over the weekend. DH is turning 30 in a couple of weeks so I arranged for him to drive a V8 supercar while we were there. He LOVED it! After his drive, his instructor (who is a professional driver) drove him around for a few laps. I think DH was a little disappointed to learn what the car was capable of AFTER he'd already driven it We also did heaps of walking which was tiring, but it felt good to be active. DH (who is 6'4 with a long stride) had to learn pretty quickly to slow down for me as I can't walk at my usual brisk pace. I think I ended up having a nanna nap every afternoon so I'd have enough energy to get through the evenings.

Early last week, I was pretty sure I felt bubs drop. I mentioned it to my midwife at my appointment last wednesday and she confirmed that she is 2-3/5 engaged but its still early enough for her to move her head up and down yet. Phew! It took me by surprise and had me a little worried for a while there.

I didn't realise how much I needed the time off until I got home on Monday. I feel so much more relaxed about this pregnancy. Before leaving, I was so worried about going into labour early or something going wrong (especially with bubs dropping a few days before we left). I guess I thought that if something was going to happen, it would've been while I was interstate. Nothing happened and now I feel more able focus on getting all the work done that I need to before I finish next week.

Ok, better get back to work.
