Hey ladies
Happy weekend!!!
Sue enjoy your break before you start!
Lucy I bet your rather anxious! But try not to worry. Just one step closer for you

I still owe you an email, yikes. Just havent gotten a chance this week!
Chan may this time fly by! Also 12 days for me

Hope they'll be able to confirm the sex. All depends how they're lying
Wow that's a looong natural birth! I dont know if I could go at it that long without relief.
Re my birth preferences - I would really like to give natural a try. But I know that if she's not ready for it there's nothing I can do. Gynae mentioned yesterday that if she hasnt turned by my 37w scan, we'd book for 38w. I asked him if we could leave it till 39 weeks. He says the reason they do 38 is cos of chances of me going into labour after then, but he didnt say No. DH will support me provided its not endangering my health.
I still have a few weeks, and she still has enough fluid around so hopefully she'll turn in the next few.
Says often there's a reason they wont turn which they can only tell once baba is born - such as a short umbilical cord or something that would cause problems if she did. And so the gynae's prefer not to try turn them these days.
What did dawn on me though is that 38w is only 4.5 weeks from now! I am nearly done with prep, but there's a fair amount to still get done at work, and I also want some time to myself before which, if I go off on 1st Aug would only give me 1 week to myself, maybe 2!!
I will be talking to my boss on Monday about work. I am not getting a substitute cos one of our other offices will be covering me. But they have new staff who havent done my job. I realised I cant just stop my job one day and expect them to know everything. So was talking to our Business manager as I know he is behind on some projects. Thinking I'll carry on normal work next week, but starting the following week let the other office handle my work, while I assist them, and I can help with these projects so that there's nothing 'outstanding' of my job the day I go off. Doctor also suggested he would book me off for a week if I needed, which really only gives me 2 more weeks at work and a lot to get done! It's getting scary ladies!
