Good morning ladies, babies and bumps! Hope everyone is dandy. Its a sunny day here so I'm in an uncharacteristically good mood. :o
Kayzr, I'm off to give a blood sample this morning too. Mine will be a piece of cake though compared to the way you lot have described the gtt. Still, I'll be thinking of you. It's probably too late now, but last time I lost my rolling pin, I used a wine bottle.
ellie, really thrilled you're home! Scary how shockingly shit some people are at their jobs though.
Davina, ds and I had a dance and cheer for you yesterday. He was blissfully oblivious as to why mummy was jumping round happily but content to join in regardless! I'm thrilled you spoke to someone who listened and understood. If only everyone were lucky enough to deal with professionals like her.
Trouble, Fyfe is gorgeous! Like the piercing too :o
Bun that's rotten news about your friend. I assume you've considered the other options, like flying to Ireland then renting a boat and rowing?
Does anyone else get to suffer the joys of fireman Sam yet? I swear that whole fucking town deserves a Darwin award. Not much to report here, dh slipped up a few weeks ago and snapped at ds for dripping a bit on the carpet while using his potty and he then regressed. I can say 100% today that he is back on form. No more panic attacks, accidents or withholding things... phew! Dh is the most relieved, he's felt awful about it for over a month. It's amazing how the smallest thing can have such huge affect on our little people.
Have convinced dh that bum genius nappies are the way to go. We will, however, opt for disposables initially while we get used to 2 etc.
Found out the guy who laid our floor was a total cowboy. Big gaps everywhere, threshold strips aren't stuck down or even cut to the correct size. Luckily, he plays golf at the club where my dad is captain so I'm cheating and have played the helpless daughter card. Further bad news, my new footstool from Dfs is faulty and needs to go back.
What furniture, if any, did you guys choose for your nurseries? Am trying to find a wardrobe and chest of drawers and keep falling in love with stupidly expensive items. To be fair, I think anything would feel expensive to us right now, still recovering from the extension bleeding us dry!
Got my third midwife appointment tomorrow and we hit 35 weeks on Thursday. I really need to pull my finger out and get ready for this child. We only have a few vests, sleepsuits and 1 little dress. Have rescued some unisex clothes from ds, so hoping we will have enough.
Ok, this has taken ages to write as I'm on my phone and dealing with a 3 yr old horse, but I need to catapult him into clothes before the dogs try to lick his backside again. Have a great day all!
