Okay, so arrival of baby LG&T would have been the best news to wake up to this morning, but your discharge from hospital will do just fine. Thank goodness he's engaged too, little chance of him flipping again. So, shall we take bets on whether you have him at home? What do you reckon, if it all kicks off will you go in? Did they say anything about his size atm?
All this talk of shaving, manicuring, waxing etc makes me feel like a right old slattern. I do shave my legs/armpits every day without fail, even now I'm gargantuan but that's it really. I have never even bothered with ladygardens and nails and hair stuff. I wash my hair once a week, well...er... once every ten days maybe and I brush it most days. That sounds terrible doesn't it? I must just point out that every hairdresser I have ever seen says my hair is in 'immaculate condition'. Doesn't split or get greasy or anything. So, there you go sheer laziness is the way to beautiful hair I tell you. When not growing life in my uterus I spend a ridiculous amount of time dyeing it various shades of red and purple though. Lazy, hippy, slattern-like lentil weaver, that's me.
Scoot, two things. Firstly, olbas oil is a no no in pregnancy. Having said that I was given some by a pharmacist at about 20 weeks as I had such a blocked nose and he said it was fine. Have only read on MN since that you should avoid it if at all possible. Steam your head instead! Secondy, surveys. You must remember our attempt at housebuying debacle. Our survey showed that a lot of work needed doing and the vendor insisted on seeing a copy of the survey and plans drawn up by independent builders and architects that we intended to use to prove it even further. As we were serious about the house, and we had nothing to hide we acquiesced to everything he asked (and he still pulled out a week before completion and whacked £40,000 on the asking price- still hasn't sold btw!). If your purchasers are serious and the survey does say what they claim the estate agents should be advising them to give you a copy. Stick to your guns, it's your house and negotiation should involve some involvement on their parts not just 'reduce the price' orders barked at you until you agree. If they want the house, they'll prove it.
Stretchmarks. Pah! I am the most prudish person alive, never wore a bikini even though I was a size 10 and very fit before pregnancy. Now, there's no way I'm ever wearing anything above my knee in public again. I've got terrible stretchmarks on my thighs, boobs and the bottom of my bump. It looks like I've been in a one on one with Freddy Kruger. I cannot wait to get my body back and get in shape. Poor DH must be sick of me refusing to undress in front of him. It's the single worst part of pregnancy. I hate the way I look. Twill change though and soon enough.
Gotta rush, got my 38wk jiggery pokery today. Yes, you're still pregnant, yes the baby's engaged, no we can't give you a pill and magic it out of you.
Will be back later...
