Alterego!!!! Congratulations and I can't wait to hear the full story
Well ladies, I still have no hot water . I am NOT allowing this to interfere with my nesting, though: the kettle is on the boil almost constantly as I attack the pigsty that is aiming to be home to my precious firstborn. Sunday morning I was standing on a table, in my nightie, hanging half out the window (I live in a third floor flat) trying to clean the outside of the glass. I'm sure you're not supposed to do that at nine months pregnant (or at any time, probably) but it suddenly felt urgent...
The good news is that I have finished work! Am delighted; feeling SO tired now, and even walking is uncomfortable now she's 2/5 engaged. Unlike most of you, though, I don't want to go into labour yet. I'm desperate for at least a couple of weeks to rest, nest and have a bit of time for just me and dp before our lives are transformed.
Had a baby shower at the weekend! It was lovely. I now have enough baby clothes to keep a small baby army going...
All this talk about people's tummies going a bit dicky before labour. I've felt nauseous and a bit dicky all week, and been having achey pains in my lower back and pelvis. Signs of getting ready, oh wise ladies who have done this before?
