What have you been doing today?

[*suzanne*]

Lily's kindy is having a day spa today so we mum's go along and get our hair and faces done and a cup of tea and cake really looking forward to it
other than that trying to keep warm

[astarra]

That sounds fun Suzanne. 

We had pre-kinder this morning, done washing & dishes, breakfast & lunch, read stories to wind 2 tired girls down before their afternoon sleeps, tried to get the last of the tomatoes in but couldn't bend far enough to get them all  , made some more apple puree (well, TM made it while we had lunch) and cleaned out the fridge. Not bad considering it is only 2pm and I was at school for 2hrs solid this morning!!! 
Next 50min (before school pick up time) will hopefully be spent sorting more stuff for the baby's arrival....(5xbags to pack, cot to get sheets onto, windows in that room to wash again, stuff to cook for freezer, etc etc etc!!)

Astarra, I'm exhausted just reading what you have been doing.   
Don't forget to have a rest too.

Suzanne 5 bags is one for each girl an :)d one labour bag plus one hospital bag.
Hoping a rest happrns after miss6 gets home from school 

[*suzanne*]

oh silly me: so your having a girl are you?

[astarra]

Not 100% sure what we are having - cuz it was modest in the scan...so doesn't that mean a girl? 

I already have 3 girls = 3 bags, + 1 labour bag = 4 bags + 1 hospital bag = 5 bags!!!!

What is the difference between a labour bag and a hospital bag?

[goldfish]

I was curious too . .

labour bag =  http://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth/your-labour-bag-what-to-pack

astarra - you have to slow down!  If you don't, I'll have to insist you come and live with me for a while!~  You're getting more done in a day than I get done in 6 months!!!

[astarra]

LOL - labour bag for when in the labour rooms, hospital bag for after birth in the ward! 

Or see gfs links!!  Thanx goldfish! 

[mcmich]

Boy - bit complicated. Totally out of the loop. I just packed a bag and off you went 

[Yvette]

Me too just packed the one bag 

[goldfish]

1st came 2 weeks early . . .(well, according to the dr - I think she got it bang on time . .!) not sure I even packed a bag!! 

[mcmich]

You wouldn't think there would be too much to pack - In the public systems they only keep mum and bub 12 hours post baby and in private 3-6 days depending whether it's your first baby and whether or not you have a caesar.
