Hi everyone
bronze - bloody hell I am thinking of you and DS, there is nothing more worrying than having a sick child. Let us know how you get on, I'm sure he'll be fine (((hugs)))
nutty - ROFL at you giving toilets knighthoods!
nutty & schulte - to you both having no symptoms so far; wouldn't it just be a crazy twist from mother nature if you 2 are the next to go? And it's not impossible either, some women get no pre-labour symptoms. Tis the beauty of being unique.
ginger - I'm using this CD
I've so far only heard it right through once though as every other time I've listened to it I've fallen asleep. No matter how hard I try to stay awake, it relaxes me so much I fall asleep. It says it's ok I'll still be getting benefit from it but I'd love to actually manage to hear what it says again!
juw - ROFL at you giving your perineum a stern talking to
purple - totally agree about taking bets on who'll go next, weight etc. I'm doing this with my family and friends. It makes the wait a tiny bit easier!
puzzle - well done with the stats, they are very interesting. I like stuff like that.
boff - good about the show, things are moving along nicely!
BB - I think you should tell the nice hospital people your concerns about nasty bitch MW and see what they can do. They will know best what the options are in your area, and by the sound of it, would be extremely supportive.
springy - sorry to hear about your friend. I do agree your text was good and you have done what you can as her friend. Don't feel selfish, you are entitled to be concerned about these kind of things. Chin up, you did good.
Well today I am washing all the baby clothes, blankets etc and will pack my hospital bag. I'm not nesting though. At least it doesn't feel that way. I don't have a tremendous motherly urge to do lovely things in preparation for baby coming, I just thought bloody hell I have a big pile of things sitting there waiting on me, better get a shift on, bloody washing. YUK.
Talking about degrees and all that, I never got that far. I left school at 16 after getting 8 GCSE's. Headed straight to college and spent the next few years trying all sorts of courses.
I have done:
Horse management
Outdoor pursuits (although didn't complete this, it cost too much)
Blacksmithing & fabrication
Welding & fabrication
Metal arts
Loved all of the courses and I would love to pursue a career as an artist blacksmith, making metal sculptures and interior furniture. All I need is a workshop with a forge in it. Would be a dream come true.
Ok have rambled on quite a bit here, sorry!
