NOVEMBER 07 - Part 2 and we're blooming !

[purplepants]

well, I hope we are anyway. I just feel blooming huge!. My beloved white linen trousers split right up my backside last night

Sparkly goat hi hi.

Baby bang on for dates here. 22-1 so 21+6

Following all the traumas I had to be honest I keep expecting more bad news and generally don't remmeber how many weeks I am

Staples do a variety of boxes for a couple of quid loopy. I'm sure you'll find a box of the right size from there.

Ah yes. Kick him up the jacksy, pronto!!

lol sounds like my DH, I have to go on and on before he does whats needed. This week he is actually sorting out the kids room, to give the baby Dd1's bedroom, with help from FIL, which is a in itself... lol. They have painted the girls room (currently DS) and will be putting up the bunkbeds up tomorrow, and then they are going to paint DD2's room for DS. DS is on a school trip for 3 days so we thought that it would be a good time to do it..

Blimey!! You're certainly cracking the whip there!!

I have to, or it won't get done. I have the job of taking the dog to dog training tomorrow because 'I will only be in the way, and can't lift anything'

So in reality you'll be off to the smoke-free pub for a nice medicinal Guinness & Black, yes?

no, dog training here I come!! As long as they put things where I want, I would rather not be here, its boring not helping, and just making tea...

Ugh, i've got all this to come on Monday when we move. I can lift light boxes I spose but i'm not going to overdo it or anything.

I was allowed to paint along the skirting board this morning, but that was it [sulk] I wanted to get my hands on the rollers but wasn't allowed... I ended up downstairs folding the washing... borrriiinggggg

Just make the most of it, Sparklygoat!

Once you have your baby things are likely to change and you'll no doubt be BEGGING for them to do something for you!!

lol that is true. FIL is a great help, even though he actually is DH's stepdad (from aged 15) and knows I can't do too much, but doesn't stop me wanting to do things..

You should just resign yourself to being able to do sweet F.A. for a while. woohoo!

do you know how hard that is for me..?? I am always on the go, from morning to night, even when I am watching telly I am folding clothes or tidying living room I get the feeling that the hospital will be admitting me for bedrest soon, they did with all the others..

Maybe you could attack a pedicure or facial with the same sort of gusto SGK.

Or how about a massage?

I believe in such establishments copies of heat are available to keep your mind on the job (of loafing).

What d'ya reckon?

Oh dear Goat, didn't realise you are one of "those" people.

How about doing summat with your hands to try and keep busy, like, i dunno, some knitting or embroidery or summat like that?? Or is it that you feel the need to get up and about?

i just get restless, and have to be doing something. I do enjoy reading so I will have to get a pile of books together and just loof around reading.

What sort of stuff do you like to read?

true life mainly. But I do have a few that I have brought and not read yet, so will start on those first. I might even try lovely bones again.

On a different thread that's being proclaimed as a book that makes you cry. I assume it's pretty sad.

I'm avoiding sad for a few months.

I couldn;t get into it. I have a huge bookcase full of books lol

Lovely Bones is fab book, very sad but beautifully written. Is about the after effects on a family when their teenage daughter is abducted. Sounds depressing but so well written is actually quite uplifting in parts. Strongly recommend though the subject matter could make you cry if overwhelmed by pg hormones!

And i wouldn't recommend reading The Boy Called It or the follow up The Boy David (i think) either!! Very tear jerky stuff!
