Right all, this is my third attempt at a post today so it'd better stick this time! I lost the first one when I turned my back for a minute, and then my Mum turned up and the battery went on laptop! My Mum is over cleaning the house from top to bottom this afternoon just in case I am interred kept in for observation on Tuesday. She has banished me to the sofa, hence the big long catch-up post...
Congratulations Merlion and Banana - I am soooooo happy you've had your little ones! Banana I'm sorry it was interesting and I hope you are resting and healing well 
. Merlion it is apparently very typical for babies to turn up as soon as we start maternity leave 
. And Yes, where are the boys?
Lovely to hear from you Janice and so happy to hear about your pregnancy! I hope it is uneventful and chilled and pain free!
Welcome Ifancyanewname - I have also been feeling the same as you and have a son who is just coming up for 3, but have heard from various sources that 2 are a lot easier once number two is actually out! I plan to wear this one in a sling most of the time so I can still chase after ds1. I am most worried about lack of sleep though, being up all night with baby and not being able to catch up in the day when she is asleep because ds1 is about.
TTL I have seen lots of these feeding covering up thingies recently, they did not seem to be about in 2008 when I had ds - a lovely treat as a pressie, but I found a large muslin did the job perfectly.
Nurse I too have stretch marks rearing their ugly heads. I am moisturising like a demon but fear I have left it too late. I still have them from ds1 but they are very pale and definitely getting thinner over time.
CMH pop in for a cuppa this weekend if you fancy it! Hope you have a lovely weekend in my hometown - if you fancy heading out of the central area, drinking coffee on Gloucester Rd, browsing the boutiques in Clifton village (by the suspension bridge) and taking a boat to Beeses Tearooms from the central docks area are lovely, relaxed things to do. Both St Michaels Hospital and Southmead Hospital are good options if things start kicking off baby-wise, but Southmead has a midwife-led unit.
I have been feeling shockingly hormonal the last few days... "d"p was acting like a 2-yr-old this morning, as was my 2-yr-old, and when I got home after dropping ds at childminder's I was in floods of tears. One of them refused to get dressed, and I had to take him to the childminders in just a Tshirt and trousers, with the rest of his clothes and his shoes in a bag, and it did my SPD no favours having to barrel him into the car. The other one was slamming doors and sulking all morning because I had a mini-flip when I got up this morning and there was piles of washing up, empty takeaway cartons all over the kitchen, the baby monitor still on buzzing away and last night's detritus all over the living room. I told him I was fed up of living in a student house, and to try and stay awake long enough before crashing on the sofa in front of Sky Sports News to have a bit of a clean-up. The house is hard enough to keep on top if when I'm not heavily pregnant, but I just can't cope anymore. I am coming to the end of my tether, as he is very helpful and supportive, but only when it suits him. He refuses to cook and would rather spend a fortune on a takeaway if I'm too tired to cook or not eating at home, doesn't notice if anything needs doing around the house unless I ask him , or it gets to the point where he can't see the floor. Rant over - thanks for listening 
. Barbie I think our partners were separated at birth...
Maybe it'll be good if I go into hospital for the next three weeks and will give him a kick up the ass....
Still no movement from baby - she is trying to tunnel her way out of my belly button at the moment, which is rather disconcerting, but a lot less annoying than that foot-under-the-ribs feeling I had with ds at this stage. Pelvis still feels completely floppy and empty, so I think she is still transverse, the minx .
