Hello everyone.. I'm so sorry to hear about continuing problems with dh/dps.. I can't remember who it was but someone posted an absolutely brilliant diatribe they delivered to their dh one night at being told for the billionth time that something to do with childcare was her job. I think it was something along the lines of "if it was my job, I'd be paid for it, I'd get time off at weekends (or at least two days a week) I'd have paid sick leave and paid annual leave. I'd have meal breaks and protection under health and safety regulations for working a 20+ hour day" Sorry to whoever it was for forgetting your name, but it was absolutely brilliant, and so worth mentioning to dhs who think that because they work 5 days a week the childcare is your job for 7 days a week. Good luck!
PLP - 60 hours is killing me, last day today and I'm off this weekend! yay! The builder did adjust the height of the shower thank God, but it's still not plumbed in. We had to lay the law down today as the builder was threatening to leave the job unfinished, including a loo that still doesn't flush. I told him he wouldn't get paid for anything he's done so far if he did that, and that I'd sell all the tools he's left at our house on ebay!! That did at least help, he came round and has finished the loo.. still no shower or sink yet though, hopefully tomorrow.... We do at least get our living room back tonight from the painters, which is a big relief. I've been pent up in my bedroom like a teenager for three days!
HIWBB - LOVE that photo of the dog!!!! that is sooo funny, he looks like a handful just from the photo !
Auschick - I asked my midwife if my baby was breech, she said she wasn't sure, but thought not as she found his heartbeat pretty high up, however all the kicks I've had have been really low. I have absolutely no movement above my belly button, most of the kicking is around my bikini line. Is this what yours is like? How was the breech position confirmed, was it on a scan? One thing the mw did say was that there was still plenty of time for him to move, if he was still breech at 36 weeks (if he is at all) we could try a few other tricks.
One thing that was pretty funny at my mw appointment, everytime she put the microphone to listen to his heartbeat, he moved away. She said she'd never seen such an active baby and he's obviously going to be a handful! When I told dh he said "that's my boy!" I'm not keen on being pregnant, hate huffing and puffing, and sweating so much. Hate the fact that I can't reach my feet and putting on shoes is a challenge, but it's moments like that that make me think it's got to be worth it all!
I hope everyone has a great weekend, dh and I are doing nothing except perhaps going out for a lovely meal on saturday because we've both been working so hard, neither of us has had a hot meal in a week!!
Take care xx
