hello everyone- wow busy in here today

thanks for all your advice re the doula- i've found one on BB that lives on the mountain so i was just about to give her a call when bugalugs woke up.
in regards to dp being at the birth- to be honest, i think a doula would be better. he was good but i think he felt a little useless.
he also got a hold of the gas and then passed out on the bed for 4 hours during my labour.
i think he would be better utilised looking after lewis. then i could relax more knowing that lewis was happy and i could just concentrate on the job at hand iykwim?

well i went out to breakfast this morning and being the big mouth that i am told me friend that i was pg and guess what? she is pg too! i'm so excited for her. we think we're due around the same time. it's her first so she's feeling a little overwhelmed but i'm just so happy for her and happy that we'll get to spend more time together now with our new bubs!

pregpan and clare- that would be so freaky if you two had seen each other before.

i hope all you canberra girls have a fantastic meet up. i wish we could all meet up some time

katie- i would've loved to have you as my doula! move to melbourne girl!

leanne- we want pics of the party. you are the party queen

sherie- yes, maybe a boy would be better do let me know about the clothes. i'm very interested. i like the name clair but a girl that used to be very mean to me in high school (well, i kissed her bfriend one night, but that's a whole nother story )- her name was clair and she was a mean girl!!!
alister is such a dare devil

ange- i wish i had the guts to have a home birth, but tbh my birth was pretty horrific last time and there's just no way i could do it at home. i was considering going to a birth centre this time, but as i was so overdue last time, i would've been kicked out anyway. i'm afraid of that happening again so i'm just going to go back to the hospital. hopefully things are better this time. hopefully my baby is not 10lbs3oz like its brother!
