rainy - i would go! you may find it is easier than you expect and it will be nice to get away... and you will have the other mums to help you esp with L and he will have a ball... that said i am freaking about having 2 at home during the day by myself so i may be speaking out my a*s!!! ha ha ha! it sounds fun though, is it close enough that if it is a disaster for a night you can go home? is there one of the mums you can confide your fears in so she may help out a little?
well - i chickened out of QE2... even dh was feeling unsure. i still have my place so can go when the little one is home if we want to... to be honest it has improved a little and if we dont both feel ready to go... oh i am making excuses now!
he wakes up anywehere between 1 and 3 times now - it is more the length of time he is sometimes awake for... but not as bad as it had been.. so we are getting better...
Arte - ha ha ha re your lack of nesting, i was the same last time i think it got me as far as calling some cleaning agencies. i am no dom goddess. i think the instinct is a bit more there this time... though there are more lists than action happening here i must admit.
my mum is here tonight for work so she is doing the bed routine and dh and i are popping up the road for dinner (a fab italian just openened at our local shops - i went there last night with mum LOL!!). she is so fab... she also had a night sleepover here on sat night so dh and i 'got away' (ie stayed at the hyatt 5 mins from home) on sat night. she is wonderful. found out last night she has ended things with her partner though (i had suspected this for a while) - but she seems to think it is best and to be honest she seems happy about that.
Noni - when is your mum next having an asha day? sounds like you could do with a break. is there any occasional care nearby asha could go to for a bit as a last resort? btw what happened with the child care place (you were waiting for bond or soemthing?)?
well i am 37 wks today - BING baby is COOKED!!!

my ob mum passed away last night... so my appt with him next week is now with the middies... hmmmmm... i am ok with that but my next apt iw ill be over 39 wks (N was born at 39 wks) so i kinda want to see him in the interim. esp as he was going to do an exam to see how things are progressing.... i know middie can do it of course but i kinda wanted to see him. maybe i will see if they can get me something the following week. i just need to know how things are progressing (or not). i am starting EPO tonight and labour bag is partly packed. but i am not feeling anything this time...yet!
