Lisa - Jayne is right. We are hanging out to have you in PAML with us. Thank you so much for being here and supporting me. I have a very tight grip on your hand (and Jayne's too at the moment). I have had a cuppa (herbal ) and went for a coffee with a friend and her 9 month old daughter this afternoon. Thankfully DH is here with me too. I feel a little better and have been talking sternly to this little bubba about sticking and growing and not stressing its mummy!!!

Cramping has settled with some panadol (and now I am hoping it isn't just constipation pains. How embarrassing would that be ) I have started the aspirin and I need to have a positive u/s result to start the clexane. Blood test results should be back around 6pm. If all is good then I will book in for Thursday / Friday next week. Unfortunately DH will be away again so I may need to take someone else with me for moral support. My best friend who will be coming to the birth (how's that for positive thinking ) will be o/s so I may have to tell another friend and see if she can come. None of my family are in Sydney. The good part is the sonographer is someone I know (and I have pre-warned her about my potential state) so I know she will be empathetic to me being a blubbering mess. Just a little bit longer .... 34 weeks to go

Jayne - you make me laugh even when I am stressed!!! Love the boobs story - probably my *biggest* concern ..... they CAN'T possible get any bigger than they already are!!! I miss us all being together so much!!!

Amy - thank you so much for your support too
