Amble don't worry about work. if you were pregnant they wouldn't be expecting you to do loads of work at this point, if you had a c section booked on Monday you wouldn't be expected to work Saturday or sunday. You finish tomorrow and that's it, just say you can't accept any more work. You need this weekend to chill out a bit

Not sure about teeny tinies.... Mine just had a slight sniffle cold.... Went quite quickly....
Much as snuffly babes are sad to see they are always very much keener to be cuddled & make for easier eye contact!?,? So in my book book an actual plus....
Time for you & dh to start taking echinacea.... Holland & Barrett sell it.... Capsule herbal remedy fabulous for Xtra immunity to sniffles & getting run down.... It is marvellous really works for me.... I swear by it in the winter.... Intros so very emotional & tiring.... In my book echinacea essential for sanity & energy

Wow, time seems to be flying now! (probably not so much for you Amberle...)
I've done loads of MMRs with no problem at all. I'd be tempted to ask for a slight delay though as baby is likely to pick up loads of bugs when first placed, and I think the biggest risk with it is giving it to a baby who's already poorly. I've had babies wait until they're 15 months before getting it.

Had lunch with a colleague, and yes I did I finished all mails..and put my out of office on. DH finished today too..out of office on, we both went off for a swim, sauna and spa..was very relaxing. Set us up for the weekend. we have decided to go away overnight tomorrow, we were not going to but hey..spur of the moment and all that and we know this will be the last time for a long time, off for a Chinese and a few glasses of vino. thank you so much for all your kind words they mean a lot.

(rofl)And so we are off ..but before I go thought I would share with you what I have been up to this morning... Intro cards, made a few different designs, and we will be posting them Monday morning to family and friends. So they get them in the week. Inside each one is a photo..we chose only 2 different ones. Then on the page opposite.. Hi nanny, auntie, uncle etc.. My name is xxx I have just joined the family, can't wait to meet you love xxx. In some we have said a couple of things she likes..smiling, making noise, feeding ducks etc..nothing too personal but enough to make people feel involved for the time being.. Designs to follow... See you tomorrow xx

Feel like a child at Christmas..maybe I'd I go to sleep earlier it will be here sooner..lol.

Sorry if you've already said, are intros local?
Hope all goes wonderfully tomorrow! X
Oh, and you've probably already been given this advice but I remember one of my APs saying they'd nominated a "single point of contact" so they didn't spend all night on the phone once intros began. It's one of the things I've always remembered (and maybe stolen myself...!)

Intros are about 60 miles away, so not local but not extensive. Just watching a movie, chilling and generally finding stuff to do, to keep us occupied..lol x

Morning all . And what a bright beautiful day it is. I hope everyone is well? So then here we are... DAY 1 of Intros.... So I have been up a little while ( not really a surprise) and am surprisingly calm. DH is sleeping upstairs ( again not really a surprise) and I have steamed all the floors, and completed all the ironing. Over the weekend we carpet cleaned the living room, a bit excessive you may think...oh no, on the basis that from all posts I read and being completely sensible ( yes it does happen) all the deep cleaning will not be happening for a while thought I better get these done. So here we are.. Ready to meet our LO for the first time..SW rang us last night to see how we were doing which was nice. That was closely followed by me having a mini panic about whether we were doing the right thing, whether we were too old, whether LO would ever like me..you know the usual things I am sure..lol. Anyway hot shower and a look from DH was enough ( not whilst I was in the shower I hasten to add) to calm me down again, and I went to bed as excited and nervous as I got up. Good luck messages have started dropping in from a few family members which is really nice, am going to go now..as I need to get myself organised, can't have LO first meeting with me looking like something one of the cats dragged in..lol. so will try and update later, have a great day xx
