Michelle - silly men. See, the thing is that they don't realise that thoughtful (not necessarily expensive, either) presents and housework is the best foreplay that they could probably ever provide us, so it's their loss, really! My DH didn't get me anything either, but he did spend 2 days making the downstairs area clean, organised and baby-proof (it looked like a bomb had hit it and I just couldn't deal with it), so I suppose that's something nice. I hope that Aaron has learned his lesson. IKWYM about MIL though - Tom wouldn't have thought to get his Mum anything if it weren't for me. *sigh* At least your kids got you some lovely stuff. How cute! Hope you're having a better day today.

Mel - had to laugh at the horse! I can understand his fear, as Eliana looks like such a scary girl! Not! That would be so cute to see. Good girl organising her clothes though - that's such a big job. I hope you have some luck on eBay. I just remembered how much I love eBay - I have 2 DVDs that I'm bidding for atm (so far I'm winning) for Charlie, and they're so much cheaper than new, AND I don't have to go out looking for them!

Had a big day today (for 9 month pregnant me, anyway). Went shopping to buy Charlie a present (a Thomas train) for when the baby comes. He's going to 'give' the baby his teddy bear that he used to love (he has two other ones now that he likes better) and the baby will 'give' him the train. I got all teary at the shops thinking about what that will be like! Tried to find some new teats (apparently Avent have some good ones) and the breast pads I used to use, but they are hard to find! Will have a look on my own when DH has a day off on Wednesday. Dr appt tomorrow, then getting the mattresses and lounges steamcleaned, then packing my hospital bag on Wednesday (I'm in denial!) and then No. 2 can come whenever he wants. Can't believe it's so close! BTW, can't remember if I told you about DH having trouble getting leave even though he put in for it in JANUARY... well, he found out today that he can't get any until 3rd JULY. Can you believe it? That means that the baby could be anything between 4 and 6 weeks old before DH gets some time off. I HATE his work. I am so angry about it, but I suppose we will just have to deal with it. Thank god my mum is a legend and is close by or I think I would probably go mental. If any of you who have two kids have any advice about what to do in the first few weeks, and how to cope, I would love to hear it!

Anyway, to top off my busy day I have to go and do a recording now... I'm so tired, but we need the money so I can't complain. Hope you're all having a lovely day.
