Bubbless a collegue who worked in the kitchens finished reasonably early but then it was the summer hols so might have pushed it back. I would aim for late then reassess around Oct half term as I am sure there will still be time to change it. I agree its going to be heavy going, I do feel for you - definately invest in compression stockings!
Sobbed to school and back again but managed to do a serious sort/precious item salvage. Focusing on seeing this pram I'm keen on tonight this afternoon - if it fits boot and seems ok I will be delighted!
Good friends of ours emailed a picture of a very shocked look while holding baby scan, they're 15 weeks but totally the last couple anyone would think of doing the baby thing right now, a super nice surprise, :) someone else to hang out with in spring!
Honey, the Dr seuss idea sounds lovely - yoga teacher mentioned the same with humming/singing etc. I've bought a lovely cd of classical music I intend to get the monkey to sleep to play to baby and can thoroughly recommend it - possibly not enough loud banging tunes for him to hear at mo so got the planets by holst too for a bit o noisy jupiter, that I can also play on the flute - worth a try! It's called 'classics for babies,' double cd, currently doing the hypno thing for mummy! resisting temptation to try to condition him to the archers theme tune as someone I know did, handy for a 2 o'clock nap!
Definately needs to be listening to some reggae too.....
