Oh kas, I hope you all feel better soon! What is slap cheek exactly? At least the 15th is just around the corner and hopefully that will be the very last thing you have to get done. Have you set a move-in date yet? Post some photos on your BB album!

We are doing well here. Lucy and I have a touch of a cold, but nothing serious, more like a bit of a runny nose than anything else. I have taken on a couple of new clients, one of whom I've been hoping for and working on for a little while, so a very good week for me, work-wise.

Lucy did even better at swimming on Sat night. She can now swim the width of the pool on her own and her teacher has made me take one of the three bubble inserts out so she has to learn to float a bit better on her own. She just loves it so much and doesn't really want me to hold her in the pool anymore. I have to be on hand for the tip-forwards and the longer distances when she starts to go under, but otherwise she is definitely confident!

We went to a trivia night on the weekend and had a great time. Not much else to report, really, just working and playing with Lucy when I get a chance!

Hope everyone else is well. Jen, how is little Shayla doing? Has Tayneesha taken on the role of big sister well?

Steph - how are you doing now you have the house to yourselves? How are the boys doing with signing?

Liz - how are you feeling, matey? This pg seems to be flying by! Does Tallon get the idea that Mummy has a baby in her belly? We've decided we're taking the sides off Lucy's cot as soon as it's warm enough not to leave the heater on. Probably soon. She doesn't really move around when she sleeps and it'll give her some freedom to get up when she wakes up. How does Tallon get out of his room when he gets up, or do you leave his door open?
