NSD - mostly due to DS being a nightmare all day and not daring to leave the house. And I am not very perky after the DH snorathon last night. Sorry, H. Need I would have decamped to the spare room had the bed been made up - I stripped it when NY guests left but now it is covered in clean-but-not-folded washing. Grr. I did plenty of kicking, I can assure you. Usually he stops but last night, after 30s respite, he was off again. The snoring equivalent of the weeble bouncing back up every time! I will get my revenge - if my last pregnancy is anything to go by I turn into the snore monster when I get to the last trimester 
Snuggly 
. I am sure they will catch up again, growth isn't always even, but good that they will be keeping a close eye on you. You've not got too long left at work, iirc? That will be a relief.
I've had a letter through for my first midwife appointment. It is combined with an information session and it is 2 hours 
. On a day when I have DS. He is not going to tolerate that at all and I've no one to leave him with - very few people are well known enough to him. DH has used up so much leave on the autism course we did last term that he hadn't much left. Grr. Not sure what to do. I rang up and they can swap it for another week but they always do them on the same day.
Love the periodic table chat - the category thing is a great way to explain it to kids. I can't wait to teach science to my own kids.
Em I used a clear blue ovulation monitor thing - was a bit of an outlay and also the sticks were costing a fair bit each month but I figured it was cheaper than IVF! I have since found that you can get fairly cheap ovulation sticks and pregnancy tests on the internet - perfectly good and accurate if you can keep your own charts. I will try to find the link. I do recommend it to everyone who is finding things a bit slow because before we started, with DS, I assumed I was ovulating around day 14, like they say at school, but was actually day 20-21! I'd never have got pregnant without them too knackered to have excess sex . Second time around I used them again, expecting roughly the same result, but was ovulating at Day 13-14. Cycle length not really different. So weird.
Wreck with any luck your good work should get recognised in your CQC report. I realise it's not as rewarding as a pay rise but would be very satisfying to see your contributions noted as all working well.
creme glad your cousin is doing better
Lasagne and spinach for dinner with beefy stuff from freezer. Cheese to be added to mine afterwards do not crispy but an acceptable compromise! I might go mad and chuck in some garlic bread too. Woo.
