Hello my lovelys!!
How are we all this fine rainy morning?
Well I've had a bit of a time of it, I went to the midwife on Friday for a check up and the midwife thinks that LO might be breech. I say thinks as she's not sure. I've got to have a presentation scan next week to see what he's up to in there. It's a bit annoying though as if I go into labour before the scan I won't be able to go to the birthing centre, I'll have to go to the hospital in the next town over. I'm not really keen on doing that, but I understand that if it's necessary than I'll have to go. At the end of the day, he either is or he isn't. I just hope that they don't hang around too long as I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and they'll have to get stuff in place quick sharp. I've been reading into EVC's, I think if he is breech I'd give it a go if they offer it to us.
In other news, the labour bag is packed apart from the coming home outfit. I have ordered it and it arrived, I opened it and stupid people have sent me the wrong flipping outfit. I rang them up and it turns out it was a misprint in the catalodge. I think they should have sent me the replacement for free, maybe I should have complained a lot more
. Oh well, the replacement is on it's way now.
My friend gave me a box of baby stuff to use for when LO is born, in the box she included some reusable nappies. Now in our conversations about these nappies it was sort of said, 'oh I'll chuck them in the box and you can give me something towards them' we never really discussed how much she wanted. So it's partly my fault for not asking her how much she was thinking. Anyway I got a FB message from her yesterday and she said 'oh me and DH were thinking £40 would be a good price if thats ok'. Now I was a bit taken aback at this as in my mind when she said this I was thinking 'something' meant around about £10 - £20. She did put in rather a lot and I know a lot of this is down to miscommunication, but I still can't help but be a bit annoyed as I now have to have a conversation with her where I say that 'thats a lot of money, we can't really afford it'.
I think it's annoyed me as it's come at a time when I'm still reeling from my midwifes appointment. I've decided to delay the conversation until after I've had my scan and I am in a bit of a better frame of mind.
Oh a little tip for those suffering from achey backs and ribs, my midwife recomended those heat pads things to me. So I went and got some of those cura heat ones that attach to your clothing. I have to say they're fantastic. They're no different to a hot water bottle, but lets face it you can't really lug a hot water bottle with you around Tescos can you.
Sorry this is a very lllloooonnngggg post.
bunny I think in this case the courts would understand the need for murder

Mumsnerves Can we see piccys of your nursery?
Cherry How did your day out go?
Lucky Gaviscon is hideous, if your heartburn is that bad. You can take zantac, you can get it over the counter. A lot of people on the October thread have recomended it to me.
MrsW How rude is that, maybe pull her aside and have a quiet word in her ear. I made a list of things we needed and then every month I bought a few bits and then ticked them off, it helped me not to panic and also helped to spread the cost a bit. Seriously ebay is your best friend, I haven't bought very many things new. I've got a lot of our stuff second hand.
Chance 4kgs , eekkkk! I hope the scan goes well.
Addie I hope your review went well.
Fudge I read about the funeral, it sounds beautiful and I was in tears. I hope you and your DH are getting all the support you need at this time. I am so sorry and you're in my thoughts.
