hey all.....well we had a fun weekend, went to a wedding reception on saturday night where i had a baileys and a cigarette ...then woke up on sunday morning with a bit of a bleed. cue panic. not great as we had friends of my friends who got married staying with us (we really didn't know them very well at all!) so left them a note saying we were off to the labour ward but to help themselves to tea & toast! they must have been thinking WHAT THE FUCK???! anyway, we got to the labour ward only to be told to go home again because i'd forgotten my maternity notes, so DP rushed back and i sat in the waiting area getting more and more wobbly. anyway, when DP got back with the notes we were seen quicker than you can say "paranoid first-timer" and everything's fine. we listened in to the little dude's heartbeat and they had a prod around. no problems, but also no explanation for the bleed. odd. i'm sure you can all imagine what i was like, after having smoked and drank the night before. i'm never smoking again! or drinking again! until....er....lunchtime at least! anyway, the people staying at our house were really sweet about it all, offering to make us tea when we got back. and we had roast lamb in the end, so it was all ok. i really don't think about anything except food!
the photoshoot was for first magazine, and i think it's out next week but i'm not sure. morag phoned this morning to do the interview but my phone was on silent so i missed the call. she's going to phone tonight at five. i've been thinking about witty things to say so everyone thinks i'm intelligent! not come up with much so far though....
as for maternity jeans, i got mine at dotty p's, they were £30, but they do tend to slide down a bit. the ones my mum made are loads better cause they're over the bump, but a lot less sexy. cause i obviously still care about being sexy at 23 weeks pregnant!
jessdibbs, tell your mil to f* off! what works for one person doesn't work for everyone, and if she's stupid enough to think that giving birth without pain relief somehow makes her more hardcore than you (or in anyway better) then i think you should poke her in the eye with a sharpened stick. i'm sure i'll be screaming for an epidural by the second contraction. but even if i'm not, even if i somehow miraculously get through the birth with no pain relief at all, there's no way i'd look down on someone who'd needed it. bleargh. stupid mil's. who do they think they are?
anyways, hope y'all had a slightly more relaxing weekend than me, take care!! xxx
