That's fantastic that Krissi's bub has turned! Thanks for letting us know pink. That's positive that you think she was trying to turn pink, there's still time. Really do understand you feeling down about a possible c-section 
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that bubs decides to play ball for you.
Wow Emma, yes you've caught up! Fabulous bump. Your mother's comment made me crack up
Don't think my mum has even heard that expression before!
I had a phone call earlier which really shook me up. My best friend called me to say that one of her family friends (someone who I had met at family occasions etc) died of bacterial meningitis last night. He was fine until about 9pm and he was dead by midnight. He was 35 with a wife and baby.
Just can't get my head round it. His poor family, I can't even begin to imagine the pain they're going through. I also have a decision to make. On Saturday we're meant to be going to my friend's to celebrate her daughter's first birthday, it's family and a couple of close friends. But yesterday my friend's mum was at their house for about three hours helping his wife with her accounts. She wasn't around him much because she was up in the office with his wife, but she did kiss him hello and goodbye. The hospital have cleared her and said she's not at risk because she wasn't with him for long enough, and haven't put her on antibiotics (his wife and child are now in quarantine on antibiotics).
Obviously she's going to be at the party and we have to decide whether to go or not. The NHS site says that you don't need to avoid someone who's come into contact with it, because one in ten of us already carry the bacteria and it's only transmitted through kissing or sneezing, and also most of us have natural immunity to it. But it's just really scary. I kind of think based on that it should be fine, I wasn't planning on kissing my friend's mother on the mouth or anything. Plus my friend is obviously secure with it, since her mum is going to be with her kids. Oh it's just a really frightening prospect, and I feel a bit shell shocked that someone who can be perfectly fine one minute has died three hours later

This morning, I'd just finished vacuuming and was sat in the doorway of the utility room tackling the laundry when our cat, Jez, (who was being all skittish due to the vacuum cleaner) was desperately trying to get passed me to escape out of the cat flap in the front door on the other side of the utility room (our utility room has two doors one into the kitchen and the other the front door). He couldn't get passed because I had one of the huge blue ikea bags full of dirty laundry blocking the doorway that I was sorting through putting into the washing machine. I just picked up my g-string and without any warning Jez jumped through the leg of my g-string and got it stuck around his neck!! He then freaks out and bolted for cat flap out onto the road!! My poor cat! All I could do was helplessly hold into his tail while I tried to drag him backwards through the cat flap to stop him running down the road with my dirty knickers wrapped round his neck!!! 
Even my four-year-old was in hysterics! No doubt she'll be telling EVERYONE all about it!
