I'm in the Eng Lit graduate club too. This is threatening to turn into a bookclub thread - brilliant! For about four years at school I thought I was going to do medicine but changed my mind with a year to go cos I loved English too much - now just remind me what doctors earn....??!! Mossy, both my sisters and two of my friends went to various Liverpool colleges at different times so I knew the student scene there pretty well, albeit quite a few years back now. Great place, always felt very at home.
It's interesting the hours people can't sleep between. I'm finding it impossible to sleep before at least 2am and have varying amounts of sleep after that time. Last night wasn't too bad, I actually got almost five straight hours between 3.30 and 8.30, and a bit before and after, which seemed like a miracle when I woke up. I went to the loo four times between 12 and 3.30 though - WHY???? Definitely getting more pressure on the old pelvic area now. MW said baby's head is down, hurrah, hope it stays there.
Rainbow, was lovely to hear from you. Good luck with the move - I admire you so much doing it now, you're an inspiration! Makes me think anything is possible.
Piffle, congrats on the little blue bundle. There do seem to be a lot of boys. I think it's only me, Leo, Amie, Sponge and TheBlonde who don't know what we're having now, that's from the stats thread anyway. Is everyone on there btw - when I read it there seemed to be some names missing.
Dolly, I hope whatever's been going on with you gets sorted out soon and it's nothing too serious.
Boo, hope your dog is ok.
Amie, if the evil woman at work tries to stop you opening a window, say loudly in the presence of both her and your boss (if she isn't) about the very well-documented dangers of women overheating in pregnancy and the legal responsibility (ie sue-able if not followed!) of a workplace to protect its pregnant staff from harm.....then suggest the excellence of a good cardigan for keeping the body warm! Seriously, have you had a risk assessment carried out since you became pregnant? Cos they have to do it, and take into account anything that bothers you.
We went to M&S today armed with vouchers DP's common-law-sister-in-law (as he calls her) had sent us for Christmas, and I'm now the proud possessor of some baby clothes. At last, I have things! We swithered between the newborn (which said 7lb 6 I think) and the up to a month (9lb something) and a woman next to us said, get the bigger ones, they'll grow out of the little things too fast. Was she right? I did get a set of bodysuits in newborn size, but everything else was the up to a month. It's difficult when you don't know what the birth weight will be, isn't it? I'm not sure about getting an outdoor bodysuit, if I should get a smaller or bigger one - any advice? The other thing is, I haven't signed up for anything like Bounty or whatever - is it really worth it and if so, what are the good ones to go for?
