Good evening ladies.
Finally bought my very last Christmas present today, well all bought and paid for and waiting for delivery. Just need to get hold of the stuff I need for the Christmas dinner table now (crackers etc) and organise a Christmas Tesco online order.
Went into town on the bus to get Mum's birthday present today and was struck down with a total lack of inspiration (which is weird as she is usually the easiest person to buy for). Unfortunately today was the last opportunity I would get to go shopping before I have to give it to her. Finally ended up panic buying something which cost far more than we can afford, then had to be rescued by DH coming to pick me up and take me home in his lunch break as really could not take another step.
chefswife I have been having strange 'episodes' in the middle of the night for a couple of weeks now as well. Have had several sort of anxiety attacks, where I find I can't catch my breath and get really panicky and tearful. The only thing that calms me down is waking DH, putting on the lamp and having him stroke my back until it passes.
I suppose it has been a particularly difficult couple of weeks and we are in total chaos at home with it not looking hopeful that everything will get finished in time. Also been finding myself worrying about coping with three and trying to remember what it's like having a newborn around and then panicking about whether I'm up to the job this time around.
On the plus side have finally ordered, nappies, wipes, creams, baby wash, hooded towel, etc and bought some bornfree glass bottles, newborn bibs and cotton blankets in babiesrus yesterday while picking up bits for the boys Christmas stockings, so am slowly gaining a semblance of control.
Feeling like this one could well decide to come early, just want to hunker down at home and hibernate now.
Midwife tomorrow lunch time and then hoping to stay at home for the rest of the week and recover from all this shopping!
