Hi all
Just a quick stop in between all the fuss! I submitted my maternity leave form yesterday and have two weeks and one day to go

Thanks for all the compliments on the photos
@HDVB - all the best, my dear. I also wondered if it might be the mucous plug (especially with the bloody appearance)! It could still be a while, but whatever happens, I hope that you, DH and your little one are happy and healthy.
@Lauz - I would email Dischem's customer care centre and tell them about your experience. I wouldn't take it sitting down, you did what you were supposed to do and it's not fair that you need to wait for everything to be processed still! I've had my bag for 7 weeks now and have packed all of El's toiletries for the hospital stay into it.
Oh ja, on the hospital bag, I've got a small luggage bag with wheels. I think I'll have to pour my body wash and lotion into medicine bottles because I always buy big 700ml bottles and they take up so much room. The plan is to have my stuff in the one bag and El's in the nappy bag, but I think some of her clothes will be in mine.
All the best to you ladies trying to mobilise your husbands! That's all I can think of for now... have to dive back into batch reviews and releases!!
