    Makes me wonder how much they would have charged if you would have written PRICELESS on the insurance part. Plus the fact that makes 3 Moroni originals we have now, hehehe

    Everything goes according to plan.. My girl forgets everything.. she goes to bed at 9..she eats stuff she normaly wouldnt eat.. and I still manage to avoid conflics..Tomorow we are at 29 weeks so that makes it 11 weeks to go.. And I still have to make the babyroom ready... got some wallpaper to put on the walls... move Thijs (my 3 year old son) to another room and then we are all set for a warm welcome..

    I'm really looking forward to the sleepless nights watching MTV with a baby on my chest...

    Bravo. Much safer than a glued together item I expect.

    I haven't turned any captive rings yet but it looks interesting. How do you part the ring from the shaft once you turned it out? Cut through with a skew chisel, narrow parting tool worked from both sides?

    Yes. You do whatever works for you. There are even gadgets for doing captive rings. Me? I use a skew chisel.

    Here's a tip for you:

    Never confuse your parting tool with your party tool.

    Memory span of a goldfish............check Early nights I get occasionally. I've only had one really wierd food incident about 2 months ago. I had a home made chicken soup with rice thing and got siezed by the urge to have dollops of peanut butter and mint sauce all over it.

    Been for a check up today and everything is still going really well, took some more blood for iron tests but we're not anticipating any problems. It's just really cool being able to hear Squid's heatbeat every few weeks.
