Too true about kids being easier on the inside than out. Give it a couple of weeks, Fi, and you'll be wanting to shove him/her back in! Sorry to hear you had a rough night, mate Bloody heat! Sending more LV's.
Neil had a heap of sick leave and annual leave owing to him at his last job but because he worked another job for 6 months (needed a break from screenprinting), he kissed all of that goodbye. With teaching it gets reinstated when you return to the Dep. of Ed. Obviously not so with screenprinting. Tight bastards!

Trish - hope you go ok today. Too right it's a great excuse to not do housework! Oh dear... Tehya IS a light sleeper! Gab sleeps through Neil's showers tho at least here the bathroom doesn't back on to her bedroom. It backs onto the babies room tho...so I'm thinking about swapping Gab to that room before Little Bee is born. It all depends what flavour we are having cos Gab's current room is a light shade of pink. Yeah...I could paint but I'm just not that motivated! hahaha

Jess - good to hear from you. Sorry Bella got such a fright from the chopper. Like Trish said, maybe she's scared that it'll dump water on her? Sounds like you're totally over everything atm. I don't blame you!

7 weeks and 3 days today. This time when I was preggo with Gab I felt like crud all day every day. I'm getting a few queasy pangs (esp. when I first get up) but a small bite of food usually helps. So different! Food never helped when I was having Gab - esp. when I got to the chucky stage. OOoooo maybe I won't have a chucky stage?? One can only hope!
