Still pregnant! Baby seems to have dropped sometime on Saturday night/Sunday morning. This is Good (tm) as it means Sunday was my best day. Enough sleep, more comfortable, and an ability to stand for longer than ten seconds at a time is always good.
Night's Edge went well. I was actually more social than I expected to be! Made it to a couple of CyPEC stuff, but managed to miss most of the Night's Edge stuff (pout) but you get that. Spent a lot of time sleeping, or trying to sleep, or eating....
Plenty of problems with the hotel. The convention/conference side of things was fine, no problems there, but betweeen the hotel and the restaurant, obviously customers represent "work" and "inconvenience" and do not require any sort of "manners" at all. But next year we will be somewhere else, so it will all be better. :-)
I'm really proud of Chesh and Babalon for doing an awesome job. They put so much work into things, plus looking after babies and each other and me, this weekend was one of the hardest weekends I've ever been through, and I feel that we really pulled things off. I'm incredibly proud of both of them, and The Big V as well, who was patient and lovely and sweet natured for most of the con (except when Mummy said "NO" on the lolly and softdrink front after days of lollies and softdrinks LOL)
I also want to thank battblush's boys for playing with Vinnie, he wanted to play pool for the rest of the night in that pub he loved it (and them) so much. This is the first time he's ever played with kids that age, and I really, really, know he loved it. It was also great to catch up with every one I hoped to, and more. I expected my mental energy to run out faster than the physical energy, and am thankful every one made leeway for me. Thanks to our guests of honour, and we're already looking forward to next year! What are we, fucking insane???
Yup.

Puggle changed his prediction to _last_ night:-)
He is _desperately_ keen to meet Pikelet (no more than you though:-) )—although, he keeps saying he'd like to see Pikelet be born... I've pointed out that that's not going to happen, but we will go to see Pikelet while they are very small:-)
