Happy belated birthday Danni. Hope you got very spoilt and had a lovely day.

Dan - what a clever little poppet Olivia is. I know what you mean about them growing up. I feel the same. I think its incredible watching this little person you created developing and doing all the things that make them normal and healthy, but at the same time I don't want to lose that beautiful little baby who seems to be vanishing so quickly.

Lis - glad to hear Ellie's teeth are finally through. Funny isn't it that the build up seems to be the most painful part and actually breaking through their gums brings such relief - less pressure I guess. Can just picture Ellie in her mummy's shoes. Iz hasn't graduated to that yet - still working on her daddy's shoes which is pretty gross given how smelly they are.

Yep, Ned is still hanging in there and if one more person rings me asking if I've had her yet, or when do I think I'm going to have her, or what's taking me so long I swear I'm going to scream. I can hear myself answering really abruptly but nobody seems to take the hint!! I'm actually quite content waiting for her to make her arrival in her own good time - I really don't want an induction again. If I can feel that way given all the aches and pains and sickness, I really don't understand why everybody else can't just bugger off and wait!!
