Hi everyone

Megsmum - because the masseuse was specialised in pg massage - we did the whole massage on one side and then swopped and then she sat me up in supported recline for the finish which was some amazing reflexology - maybe if you can find someone who specifically does pg massage in their repetoire they can give you one last bit of spoiling before we put all that behind us

WTH - how wonderful to get such a gorgeous reaction from your little one - you do wonder sometimes how they see things - I am trying to figure out at the moment how my DD will fit into our birth and what roles are appropriate (and let's face it depends on time on day/night it is all happening and how DD reacts at the time as well!!) for her and have some little contingencies and structures (notice not plans) in mind depending on how the situation unfolds...

Chappas and Pash - I remember fondly the absolute shock I got when I was in the UK around June/July hols years ago - that I could actually fly out from a remote Aboriginal community and have a sunburn two days later in London (it must have been a heatwave that year too..) - loved the long days with the sun going down so late though - a real novelty when you come from Queensland - home of the 'can't have daylight saving as it will fade the curtains' school of thought...

Tam - good luck with everything sweeting - it must be getting so exciting!!!

Easha - any luck on the house and hearth yet - I am hoping seeing as we haven't heard from you in a little while that that might signal some house-moving????

Lee and Greenslw - hope all is going well!

Good health and spirits to anyone I have forgotten - back to those work loose ends I just want to fling into the bog of eternal stench at the moment

AFM - am contacting my midwife for our first 'official' meeting this week - it is all very exciting - happy the 28 bloods are done and if one more person says 'Hi - you must be due any day now...
