Before I get started, let me just say that the new website format isn't doing anything for me. Just don't like the changed look. From the looks of it though, doesn't look like it's going to go back to the old layout, so just going to have to bite the bullet and deal with it. 
Vix - Looks like you're having a great time with Libby. Glad to hear that her birth has brought you and OH closer.
I can only imagine how overwhelming it must be with 3 kids, but I'm sure you'll do just fine. 
Amber - Happy 38 weeks! Glad to hear that all went well with the U/S and that Grace is doing just fine. Looks like the pains & butt cramps are a sign of things progressing! Yay for getting the hospital bag packed & car seat in place.
Lil - Happy 20 weeks! Look forward to hearing all about your scan.
Sparkle - Sorry to hear about C. Hope he feels better soon! You're right about Apple Alice moving around when she feels you tense up. Looks like our LOs have a way of already calming us down this early.
Shell - Sorry to hear that you don't feel like you've made any progress. I agree with Sparkle...things might be happening slower for you at this stage, which might lead to an easier active labor. I would definitely ask the midwife to check things on Friday. You might be surprised at the progress you've already made. Good luck, and hope the pains ease up a bit.
AFM, we just learnt of some not so good news. My sister in law was told that there was a thick fold at her nuchal scan, and so now they need to look into further testing into the possibility of the baby having Down's.
She's pregnant with her 2nd child and is due a few months after me. We're hoping that once she goes in for further blood work & an amnio, all will be fine but it has definitely brought down everyone's spirits. I hope everything works out for her! Please keep her & her family in your thoughts.

It's a girl, and her name is Eleanora Patricia!
just past Sunday night into Monday early morning 10/10/2011 - 12:12 am - just after midnight. I have a long birth story (which I will post later plus pics) but I'm super super super knackered still so it may not be for another day or two.
