1) I went to the Home Office to have my biometric details taken. The whole experience was efficient and quite pleasant, actually. They were very efficient and wonderfully polite. I don't know if I just happened to go on a good day or if this is consistent, but either way, I came out of a bureaucratic exercise feeling quite happy. They must be doing

Oh god, the pillows. He will regret it. I have a long bolster I have used to run between my knees and ankles, then under my bump and elbow. It is also apparently very good for bulldozering Sef out of bed with. He doesn't appreciate this.

Lately I have swapped it for a V shaped pillow with one arm running under my waist, and the other between my knees, so my bump rests in the bend, which is a godsend as little one likes to batter at the mattress if my bump gets too flattened against it.

Ebay is great for odd shaped pillows, the special pregnancy ones a stupidly expensive, but bolsters and v shaped ones can be got relatively cheaply and can be used for sitting up in bed and or nursing afterwards.

mothercare, john lewis and such can be good for looking at what the maternity ones are like for comparisons with other ones if you want to. glad to hear things are going well :)
