Sophie - I thought you'd be busy this weekend, glad your dh turned down the booking for 7 for one night - that's a lot of work for 1 night. Our guests are in and happy, so apart from helping them out with places to go and places to eat we don't have any work as such for a week. Just now got to turn my attention to the tip that is our home!!
Re you friend, you obviously can't ignore your pregnancy at this stage, you'll just have to play it be ear and see how she is, she may want to talk about it , or not. The fact that you realise what a sensitive time it will be for her means that it will go OK.
Allipalli - my dh is a tennis fan too and disappointed that there wasn't a tv in the labour room ( i didn't even notice). I'm going to get some arnica too. Every little helps, but I won't give any to dh - he'd probably just fall asleep!
And I am going to sit down and have crackers and cheese and a glass of milk now( just nibbled a choc chip cookie whilst typing - I made a big batch and froze them so that I wouldn't eat too many - they are delicious eaten straight from the freezer!!!!
Poppy - My boys just see straight through the special game idea now, sometimes it has to be plain bribery!!!They are quite helpful, they set the table and clear away, they get their own breakfast(handy at the weekend),etc..etc.. tomorrow they have to tidy up the lounge as otherwise they can't watch Indiana Jones(the old film, not the new one). At the moment it looks like an explosion in a lego factory, and we've been so busy with the guest apartment it's got worse and worse!!!
Whinegums - thanks, will look at that camera
SA - I'd be interested to see your newborn sleep plan. Keep those legs crossed for 2 weeks, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that your dh feels better soon.
