I am SO tired. I'll not get in to specifics, but I'm drowning in the tiredness, and am sick of never stopping at work at the minute which is adding to things!
DP's birthday tomorrow, so better get my face sorted with a smile, as I wouldn't want to ruin the day! Going to a comedy club tomorrow night, so that should help provided I don't fall asleep!
I am too far behind to catch up on the thread properly, but I have been reading sat on the loo in work 
DP is currently getting right on my nerves. He is on skype with his mates, playing some online game. And he sounds like a 15 year old kid, making stupid noises and shouting stupid catchphrases grrrrr. I just want to shout at him to shut up, but that would be rude!!
As far as it goes though, he's a decent bloke, and I have no real complaints, apart from his uselessness at seeing mess and dirt, the usual man qualities I guess! He does a lot for my DS though, gets up with him to let me have a lie in, takes him to school etc etc. Makes his tea. For a young guy, he's gonna make a good dad! Nothing is too much to ask of him.
Swiss What you need to do is this: send a letter/email to the head of midwifery at your hospital, your community midwife can give you the details, or ring the hospital switchboard. In the letter state that you wish to have a waterbirth, and that you are aware they may have an issue with this due to your 'clinical risk factors', however you intend to continue with your plans for waterbirth, and you would appreciate her putting an individualised care plan in place prior to your birth, so that there are no issues on the day. Discuss this with your community midwife first, she may be able to sort it for you first - some places don't have a limit on BMI, and some have a 30/35/40 guideline for using the pool.
Alternatively, if you are a confident gobby shite like me, you can just demand to go in the pool anyway. Which is what I am doing. :) Besides, its in my house! Who's gonna stop me!
I'm about to start making my birth plan soon. Now I'm 24 weeks, my focus is shifting more towards the birth, and life with a newborn! I might share it on here once its finished! I'm also making an iPod track list for DP to keep him busy sourcing the tracks and putting it together for me. Music means a lot to me, and I know it will help me keep calm and focused during labour. Can't wait to see what I come up with for the tracks!
Still no weight gain 
I was 94kg at booking, 88kg now (have been since 15 weeks). Going to ask for my BMI to be recalculated this week at my appointment, as it will go from 37 to 34 :) I'm getting concerned now, not at the lack of weight gain, quite happy with that, as was clearly overweight to begin with, so don't want much extra put on! But more that I might pile it on in a short space of time (which I did with DS) and my stretch marks will get even worse. I clearly have a decent bump now, not huge, but about the right size for 24 weeks with a 2nd baby! And the stretch marks on my tummy which are fine (well finer than the ones on my hips!) have just started showing up, as DS so lovingly pointed out this evening so clearly stretch marks aren't related to just weight gain, but the elasticity of the skin to stretch! So I don't want any extra weight if this is what I'm gonna get for it! My body was ruined first time, but had just begun to learn to love it again! It is terribly scarred, both from my c/s scar which is awful, and my stretch marks! Pffft.
Anyway, off to do some more eBay bargain hunting!
Hope your foot starts to behave soon Valium, sounds so painful :( Glad you got it looked out though, I was rather worried with what you had said!
