What a weekend! Headed up to Liverpool to see family late late on Friday eve (after work). Full on weekend of catching up - which left me knackered!
Plus first instance of someone trying to lay on hands. Even when I said "please don't - I don't want you to rub my bump. It makes me feel really uncomfortable and I don't like it". Not sure I could have been much clearer other than shouting "fookoff!" but she still persisted in trying a couple more times. This is a third cousins in her sixties that I've met three times and barely know!!*

MrsJW & Barnes & 100 I've been waiting months for the fabled glow to kick in... given up now! Definitely not enjoying.
Dream & Mighty - love your animal tales!! On a slightly less pleasant note, my devoted pusscat (adopted us when we moved house 6 years ago - was an outdoor stray before that) who sleeps on my head and follows me like a dog has started spraying on my handbag!! Realised the other day when I could smell cat really strongly.... took ten minutes to realise it was me!
Mighty - hope you can get the scan and get it sorted. Yes we're close, but 12 weeks is still a chunk of time.

Rustler* we got our pram package from Winstanley's Pramworld online - great service and really good price. And we were told during our John Lewis nursery consult that Winstanleys are one of the companies they will price match (they have a store in Wigan). Worth checking out online.
Esmes & MrsJW I'm with you re people "offering" advice. Despite saying we'd bought bassinet and other things have one friend who insists on telling me how pointless my purchases are. In those terms. I just nod, and watch her OH try and make her realise/be a bit more self-aware without winding her up too much 
MrsPage - get those feet soaking!!
MissMoo - well done in getting the cot built! Our nursery furniture was delivered on Friday so we need to find time to build this week. Having the room ready makes it more real somehow. Like when you're expecting house guests and the beds are made and turned down .... feel like I' doing the pregnancy version of hovering at the front door 
KLane - the dad's event sounds great! Do you have to be registered at that hospital, do you know? I'm local (well, Greenwich) but getting care at Tommys in town and don't think they do it.
Badger Sal & Lucie ta for needle tips!
And hola to everyone this lovely miserable Sunday eve. Am nearly home and contemplating an awful night's sleep and a six am alarm. #joy
