Bloody hell, I've missed all the excitement! Beartime is probably delivering right now, hope she's nice & quick.
Twinkle1, its great to be able offer help like this, isn't it?
Congrats to the other new babies too. They all seem to be quick, don't they? Hope it's catching!
Alfiesmum, I love Oscar too. My ds is called Oliver which is a bit similar & it's great not having a really common name.
KristinaM, still haven't started the decorating but DP thought a spot of BDing this afternoon might bring things on. Disappointed him, however, as we ended having a rather emotive & upsetting conversation about my birth plan wishes. Long story, but we have very different views. About your "friend", I have a theory about women who have relatively painless labours - apart from gagging them, not every woman has period pain to the same level so why should labour be any different? It's not really due to pain thresholds, more that we all labour differently. She shouldn't compare her labour to anyone else's. This subject really gets my goat, actually.
Chacha, Eid Mubarek!!! Enjoy your celebrations, they'll be very memorable as being the last one before bubs is born! Take lots of photos so you can remember your gorgeous bump.
Got new paintbrushes & paint so I shall start before I get settled on the sofa in front of this laptop.
