Possum Magic - Woo hoo for maternity leave!! I am likely to work up until the birth but I only do two days a week and I've cut my hours back on those two days.

Angelfish - I guess it's good that honor's problems have now been recognised so that you can do something about them. By next year she will likely be be fine and enjoying her new sibling.

Damprye - Good to you about your darling nephews. Can't believe how your ticker is still moving along nicely.

Melster - Sorry to hear bubs has a cold but good to see you in here again. You have been missed.

AFM - Failed both my glucose tests so now I am being treated for gestational diabetes. I have to see if it can be managed by diet over the next few weeks. I need to ***** my finger 4 times a day and test my blood. Seems a bit surreal though as all my results have been fine. Guess the trick is to not go around drinking big bottles of glucose! I think I can avoid that.

Does anyone know if being pregnant changes your response to insect bites? I have been bitten by something and the swelling is huge and painful. Haven't had that since I was a kid.
