Oooh, I am just dying to read this moderated post. Does this mean "they" are always watching??!?
Vicky, I am so sorry you're having such a rough go at the mo'. Conneticut is like Stepford Wives territory if you live in burbs. Definitely a change from city center Athens. I also haven't been reading anything about Greeks being lazy...although I think in general Americans like to bring up the way Europeans as a whole have longer holidays, maternity leave, etc, since Americans take like no time off at all. But I think in most instances, at least in my circles, people are commending the better work-life balance Europeans have.
I can't remember now when I felt movement with Alistair and it makes me sad.

Round, don't worry about the cord, please!! Alistair was so active towards the end and super hiccupy so I worried sooooo much about his cord and it wasn't even around his neck.
Jaymes, those are amazing lines!
I got pretty swollen when flying while pregnant and I was only 15 weeks. I also peed a lot and people kept watching me go to and from the bathroom in a judgemental way (I wasn't overtly pregnant looking).
What's a romper suit? Is this a British thing I'm unaware of? I should know since I worked at a nursery in the UK for goodness sakes.
Lucy, I hope Ben sleeps better tonight. Alistair is quite sleepy today as well, wonder what it will mean for tonight! We're trying ot push his bedtime earlier and earlier so he doesn't have super crazy jet lag in the UK. Less than two weeks until our trip! Eeek!
This week I've been struggling with feeling like I get nothing done during the day. Does anyone else who is not working feel like that? I'm not ready for the day until noon myself because getting Alistair fed and dressed and then the same for myself takes ages. And then I just feel tired from broken sleep so I lounge most of the afternoon. It's going on 3 and all I've done is one load of laundry. I'm jsut feeling like my days have no structure or accomplishments and it's getting to me. I'm technically back at work but taking cases sporadically as I also can't seem to fit work in even though I'm not actually doing anything????
