DontTry, Scooter and Belgian, many congratulations on your happy arrivals. Really fantastic news for you all
Henrietta, that is so tough for you. Let's hope it's your body doing its final warm up before the real event and you don't have too much longer to go.
Arcadie, don't be about scrubbing the floors! I promise you, my house has never been so clean. My reasoning is that it can't be a bad thing to do for the baby's position and it must be a good thing for labour preparation. Mind you, every time I clean a room or do a supermarket shop, I think that this is the last time I will have to do this before the birth, only to find myself in exactly the same position thinking exactly the same thing a few days later!
Well, today is my official due date. I was so sure this baby was going to be a week or so early and now I am just hoping she's not going to be a week or two late.
Having my MIL here is an absolute Godsend. DD adores her and wants Granny to do everything, leaving me feeling slightly redundant (which is a good thing). I can slope off for an afternoon nap without feeling guilty.
I am feeling pretty good in myself, thankfully all niggly bugs, etc., haven't made a reappearance so I feel better physically than I have done in ages. People keep commenting on how well I look too. In fact some complete nutter nice young man was hugely surprised when he noticed my bump the other day and told me how slim I was! One way to make an older deluded lady very happy! Speaking of which, this baby had better arrive soon - it's my 40th at the beginning of May and I want to have plenty of time between birth of baby and my birthday in order that I can celebrate in comparative style!
Good luck to all us stragglers over the next week or two. It's tough being the last ones on the list.
