MD def load the ipod up with that stuff - whatever you need to get you zen i say (maybe a little stash of haighs as well in your handbag).
Gypsy - bummer on af but no hurry is a good thing you can take it as it comes. that said i know how it feels when every month is a wait/anticipation even if you arent in a rush.
Rainy - sucha big wooo hoooo om the acc care going so well. sounds like it will be sucha good option... and you will get some time with jimmy (ie more snuggles and chick flicks) and it will be good for L too. i think it is great you are going ahead with it. gosh you make me look slack as i will be keeping N in creche for maybe 3 days a week...
on that note N is doing so well at creche this week for his 1st week, they are amazed by how happy he is to play with everything and the other kids. on the 1st day he only slept 20 mins (eeek) which was the only 'problem' but yest he slept 2 hrs! so happy happy here about all of this... they also commented that he ate so well yesterdy, i had a little laugh - it hadnt crossed my mind he may not. he also comes home so tired from doing so much ALL DAY but happy, he is so chatty trying to tell us everything and running around the house - it is a joy to see and it just feels we have done the right thing. now to manage the next change, the big boy bed arrives tomorrow...
i had my ob planning visit yest and it went so well. the only thing the ob is worried about is that i may end up one of those women who birth in the car as he thinks it wil be super quick based on stats and last time. they had said allow an hour for the appt as it was to discuss everything in detail... i was out in 20 mins as there wasnt much to discuss!! which is a good thing! it feels good to have an ob tell you you should have 12 children!! he says my body is made for it.. i did point out it certainly doesnt feel that way. anyway have been reading up on everything from gas to csections and thinking through what atmosphere i want etc etc anyway... but so far all looks great. baby is head down atm and ob said the baby may move but not so likely, measuring spot on, my bp still the same as when i first went in, baby heart rate great - so all good!
Trill - hope your bro is ok... how scary!
sorry for the selfish post, but i better go get some work done... back later
