to work on over the summer holidays. I've a nasty feeling we are
going
to
end up with a plaster cast of the baby...

LOL As long as baby co-operates!

If it's messy then she'll love it!

And you'll be there to clean it up! g

I'd forgotten how much mess babies make! There's been a ten year gap between
my first two children and nowadays I seem to have a wet cloth permanently in
one hand. Once Number 3 arrives I'm going to have to laminate the house! If
she's not chewing on it then she's christening it with a bottle of milk or
rubbing in some rusk just for the fun of it. Thank goodness my carpet is
biscuit coloured!

Fourteen months. But I'm trying not to think about that! My first two took
forever to 'appear' so when we decided that one more would complete the
set
we weren't expecting any happy news till at least autumn - seems like
Number
3 has a mind of its own though. Especially going by the all the scans
which
had to be repeated as it wouldn't co-operate and kept hiding.

Must stop calling it 'it', too. Since Thursday we know it's a she!

Hmmm, I wonder if this is an omen of things to come? g
Katherine

Claire,

What happy news for you, now when is your little girl due to arrive?

Hugs,

Nora

Undoubtedly! Number 2 was equally awkward when it came to check-ups (had
trouble finding her heartbeat as she'd move away) and scans were done THREE
times as she wouldn't lie still to be measured and somersaulted at the
crucial moments. She is still just as determined not to co-operate now that
she has been born - trying to get her dressed is like trying to thread a
small pink octopus into a rubber glove!

Officially she should come out around the end of November but none of mine
have been punctual yet! So probably the first week of December. I have a
long list of things to do to encourage an exit and will get started on them
on the very day I am due! Six months (nearly) in and I'm fed up with being
pregnant! And I haven't seen my toes for years!

Oh, I LOVE that description! And I can picture it so well.
