Ferrals - Being told it will happen still doesn't prepare you for actually seeing it, does it? I hope it resolves itself and you can avoid a hospital stay.

Dory - Excellent advice for Melster, well said. I too know I will miss being pg (I still don't think I'll miss the swollen feet though!) and DP and I have already discussed having another. It might sound really morbid, but we kept thinking 'what happens when we're both dead and buried?' We want this child to have someone they can feel connected to, and to still have a family even when we're gone. I would hate for this little one to wind up all alone, even if they are all grown up. From the man who said NEVER EVER to having even one, this is extremely exciting and shows just how much things can change. And the best part? I didn't have to badger him at all, he just came to me one day and said 'let's have a baby'. It's sooo wonderful to hear him say he wants to do it again when number 1 hasn't even arrived yet.

AFM - Well it's cooled down a bit now so I'm feeling a bit better. DP asked me to go and fuel up the car, which was a bit of an ordeal given the humidity.. I didn't want to get out of the air-conditioned car to use the pump lol. People are asking me everywhere I go now when the baby is due. It still takes me by surprise every time. I know my pg is obvious, and my waddle is extremely stylish (LOL) but it still surprises me when people ask. Whenever DP is with me and a shop assistant asks (usually a lady) he gets this grin on his face and he looks so proud.
