    I'm back again! Sorry, I've finished work now, but life just seems to be getting busier, not quieter! I think I've finished buying the things I need for hospital and to bring baby home (not that we needed much), but again, it still doesn't seem quite real!

    So many new "faces" in here - how fantastic These babies are all so lucky to have Mummies who want them soooo much that we're willing to brave the heartache to bring them home. Just remember that. Not all babies are this lucky, that's for sure. No way will we ever take our kids for granted.

    Congratulations to Dantri, CT, Embo and JJ - HPL, very sorry for your bad news, I hope things turn around quickly for you, sending lots of your way.

    To all of you wondering if it's normal to feel worried - um, yeah! I had a couple of extra scans, and my Ob said "there is no harm to the baby to have a scan every week if it makes you feel better and less stressed". A stressed out Mummy is worse than an extra scan. So have them if you need them! After 12 weeks I didn't have any extras.

    LnD - I hope the heartburn settles! Have you tried lots of things? TUMS, Mylanta umm, there are lots of other over the counters (thankfully) it's not a problem I've had, but certainly worth getting on top of, especially if it's stopping you sleeping! Good luck for the 3D scan on Monday

    Jess - glad things are just trucking along, boring is best you know!

    AFM, this has been a pretty boring pregnancy, except for my head that is. This is a very good thing. Baby's still quite happy sitting in there, lots of braxton hicks, still lots of movement. I'm off to the Ob today to see if any descent has happened, and this time I will be asking him about the size of this big 'un! FWIW, I didn't go into labour with DS and was induced at term (because of complications), so I doubt I'll go early boo, I'm ready to get this bubba out! I've read Birth Skills, which I really loved, don't read it at night or you dream about labour, I've been sitting in positions to encourage an anterior lie... just wait and see now!

    Not to me, DH or the list here We're keeping it quiet to the rest of the world though. I would have liked a surprise, and next time it WILL be a surprise! I don't even like saying it, in case either they're wrong or somehow I make it real by putting it out there in the world

    JJ - not long now! Only an hour to go, for you

    Went to the Ob - baby still high and mobile don't think this one's coming early! But everything else is good. Feet swelling is normal end of pg stuff without being able to rest, BP is normal etc. I am not completely over it yet, but ready to meet this little bubba. Or big bubba. That's the only thing I forgot to ask!
