Wow, this new thread is moving quickly, just been trying to catch up!
I like the idea of counting no. work days left. I worked mine out as 29 which doesn't sound like many, but then I only work 3 days a week and have about 12 days holiday before I finish, and then am taking another 3 weeks of paid leave before mat leave kicks in. Can't wait.
I also get the wee pots to pour into the proper sample pots - who knew Stockport was so advanced? A friend's dog is poorly at the moment and she's had to get a doggy wee sample which I imagine is more traumatic than collecting your own!
My bump seems to be growing loads by the day now, I will have to post a pic for bump day as I've only done one at 17 weeks and it's loads bigger now! I forget though when I'm trying to squeeze past people on the train, I turn to the side and my bump hits them instead of my hips.
Sassy - I think maybe as it's your MIL's birthday you should go for the meal at the time that suits her, but definitely have a snack before you go to keep you going! When baby is here and you go out for lunch, baby will need to eat earlier so you'll have plenty of opportunity to dictate lunch appointments. My in laws would eat lunch at 2/3pm but if we're with DD we've trained them to meet by 12 so that DD at least gets some food in front of her by 12.30! Kids just can't space out meals! We've booked Christmas Day lunch out for the first time ever, they wanted me to book the meal for 2pmish but luckily the restaurant only do one sitting from 12.30 :) If we had it at MIL's house as normal we'd be lucky to sit down for 3pm!
