hello ladies, have been away for a week, just had a scan through of the thread, I am always impressed how much chat is going on!
sorry to all those who are suffering various problems .
My main pregnancy miseries at the minute are largely amusing, my breasts have begun leaking which took me by suprise. The first time it happened we were out for drinks with friends, I thought I must have absent mindedly spilt lemonade on a boob! Next time was when I'd had a hug from DH, I looked down at my chest and the penny dropped! Need to get some pad things I think. I also had to do a lot of al fresco weeing whilst walking on holiday in cornwall, it was either that or do irritatingly short walks.
I've sent in my maternity leave form too, I'm starting on 11th September, but using annual leave to go very part time from late July onwards. It is so hard trying to get the balance right though.
The holiday was great for getting DH to switch off for long enough to talk about names and prams etc, he is really excited about the baby but is just so overwhelmingly busy at work until the end of the summer. It was very funny as I kept realising I was checking out peoples prams instead of admiring the beautiful scenery, but then I noticed DH doing the same!! It also felt really special having our last child free holiday, it felt very romantic in a strange way, like we were both enjoying our last time as just a couple, but also getting excited about becoming a family. Didn't stop me having the odd twinge of jealousy as DH got to sample all the local cider though
