oh god, sorry others have the trapped wind thing going on too. I have been writhing around all day, with some painful braxton hicks thrown in for good measure. Just spoke to my mum, and was whinging at her, and she said 'don't expect it to go away after baby arrives!' and 'try having 4 children', so I think she is trying to tell me that babies mess up your body for life. Yay.
And elly I'd judge you more if you didn't try to stave off getting up :o DS tends to wander into our room at 5/5.30, clutching all 3 of his toy dogs, as well as his duvet. Cute, but not at that time. He never was one for playing happily alone though - i'm 
that your DS can entertain himself for an hour TDW!! And he was never one for sleeping in a cot either, sigh. he's been in his cot bed without the side since last August, and although he does sleep a wee bit better, he's no rip van winkel.
gwennie sounds like a hideous day at work - however, think how much longer you've got there! and when you go back, this family will have gone!
I am so sick of this weather now. I really wanted a summer baby this time, but it looks like, weather-wise, it'll be another autumn one. Grr. Just a few days of nice weather to dry out the garden would be lovely.
right, DH is tutting and sighing in the kitchen, because after me making dinner, and bathing DS, apparently doing the washing up should be a shared task 
. I may have to swan in, get myself a drink, and swan back out again, but will probably end up doing the drying. I wish we had a dishwasher at the moment...
