Waaaaaa!! Big congratulations to Velo, CWest, and Angelico!!!!!!!
Love the names, and so glad you went for the epi and had a great experience CWest, you're very brave! Hope Naomi can come home soon.
Welcome home Velo, hope you're settling in well.
Looking forward to hearing more gory details from you all soon!
Welcome to the world Max, Naomi and MiniAngelico!
Elpis, I'm so sorry, as usual I'm probably a bit late with this as hopefully you are fast asleep ahead of your big day tomorrow, but just wanted to say good luck and best wishes! Hope everything goes perfectly, take care 
Mickey, I'm only 35+1 and no sign of anything happening any earlier so you won't be alone. 
Beeble, do you mind if I don't bake and just eat your goodies instead?! 
Thanks!
Fjord, that sounds crap and just what you don't need. 
But like you say, better to get it sorted now than pass anything on later. Not long to go for you now!
My news - had docs this morning, belly not grown at all in 2 weeks, still 27cm and the circumference is the same too but she's still not worried. Even though I've measured small all the way through, this is the first time I've not seemed to grow at all. 
But I suppose it makes sense, as I did feel like Baby moved down earlier this week.
From next week I have to have a checkup every week instead of fortnightly as it's the last month. Earlier I thought I might refuse this because it seemed a bit unnecessary, but now I'm thinking I may as well if it's available, and I'd feel so bad if I didn't go and something were to go wrong.
I'm going to have a big shock if I ever have antenatal care in the UK, especially as I heard subsequent pregnancies get even less checks!
Next week I'm to have a Group B Strep test. Do you have that in the UK? I only heard about this recently, but sounds like a good thing to have. (the test, not the infection!)
The mum of one of my students is giving me a "baby rack" next week. I love the name, it sounds like an instrument of torture but actually it's like a lie-flat swing bed thing, for daytime napping. MIL offered to buy us an all-singing-all-dancing one (some of them automatically start swinging when baby cries) but they cost a fortune 1st hand, and I just couldn't justify it, even if it's not my money. So this is perfect, and we can give it back when done, so no clutter.
Had a great week off last week, probably did a little too much resting, but did manage to cook lots for the freezer, wash all baby clothes and bedding and catch up with some emails and photo organising, so not entirely unproductive.
I can't remember who asked, but we have bought a Moby Wrap and I've also tried it out with a teddy 
, feels comfortable and safe, but there's a lot of material involved. Looking forward to using it.
Not sure what baby monitor we have, as my best friends back home have chipped in and bought one for us, which they're sending over with Mum and Dad when they visit after the birth.
Yomping, can totally understand your boots-on-wrong-feet frustration, I still insist on trying to put my knickers on standing up. I don't know why, as I can't lift my foot very high and I can't really bend down far enough to get the nearer the floor. It would be so much easier sitting down and the bed is right there, but I keep doing it. Twice last week I put them on back-to-front. I could have cried with the wasted effort. Pre-pregnancy it would have been nothing to whip them off and start again, but of course, pre-pregnancy I never would have put them on back-to-front in the first place!
Hope all those with colds/flu and other ailments are feeling much better.
Take care all!
