Another rough night's sleep. Didn't get to sleep till 4am the night before, and was supposed to be going to pub last night but by 8 or 9 I was a bit of a wreck and DH literally had to put me to bed. Had ok sleep till about 4am and have been tossing and turning since so thought I may as well get up and be productive! DH has realised the importance of my afternoon 'pregnancy naps', which I've not been having regularly since he's been on holiday and so he's set an alarm for 4pm for the next two days to put me to bed! Feel like a child?but I clearly need a bit of tlc at the mo!
Lexi, very glad to hear loft extension is back on track! FX for new and sensible quotation. Sounds like we may be doing kitchen around same time as your extension? Very jealous of your walk in the forest! I'm so restricted with walking at the mo
We were planning on staying in tonight, just the two of us, but as I didn't make it to pub last night we may try to get to our local early on. No idea how busy it will be. It's tucked away in an old village, just near the Thames but surrounded by suburbia, so people tend not to go who don't know about it as it's slightly off the beaten track. I'm sure we'll be able to get a seat for an hour or two...
Leni the research study sounds fascinating, especially the MRI scans. How wonderful! I've been suffering with my nose too. Breathing is noisy and when I sleep I breathe through my mouth and have to wake hourly to drink as it gets so very dry. Had a problem, now resolved, with bloody teeth, but dentist said it's just hormones making our increased blood supply come nearer to the surface or something. So, same logic with nose. I'm really hoping we'll be back to our usual selves in a few months time. Getting to the stage where I want my old body back!
Tramp totally with you on the bagels. C&R or nothing, frankly!
Welcome SoYo! I am also due 5 March, but it's twins so they will prob arrive in mid-Feb from what I understand. We too are having babies (together in one cot) in our room for as long as needed (or till they get too noisy - apparently babies are v. snuffly?!) but it's going to be great to have the nursery ready this week so I can start washing / sorting all the stuff we've been given. Friend is also giving us her nursing chair which can go in there and same friend has also given us her changing station which I will definitely want up with the other furniture before birth.
Grotty (are you new too? welcome if so!) in a similar situation to you in that I work from home most of the time. We have three bedrooms. The second bedroom was my study and the guest room with a fold-out futon; the third box room was my DH's man cave (he works in office environment). I've condensed the space I take up in my study and he - bless him - now has a wall and a new slimline desk there. It's nicer than I thought sharing! Babies will have to share box room for first couple of years! We're also doing double-quick house renovations, hoping for double-glazing before babies arrive, tho we've left it too late, I think, for the kitchen, alas, so that will be spring. Possibly we've time to paint either/or bathroom or our bedroom, both of which we've made a small start on. Good luck with new bathroom!
