Thanks Ladies... Im going to head back to the lounge now and prop my feet up.. I'll try the cold, wet towels... that sounds like it would be a huge relief... I just need something to take the sting away... Jodie, I'm totally hearing you... being so close, there is so much to be done... and DD turns 9 next weekend, so we are having a party tomorrow for her (long story!!!)! The things us mothers do. We're missing you in the belly buddies group too... Pop in some time!
