congratulations calypsoflame on your recent birth. Sorry to hear you had to go in but you are home again with your beautiful little one.
I have heard from the builders that they won't be finished until sometime in the week beginning the 12th October. lo is due on the 8th. Then we have to have the carpets relaid and new ones laid, and decorating to do. I am 'sort of' (not really) hoping I will need to be induced or baby comes around 18th so the house is ready. I could happily have it anytime for me but would have to sleep in the living room with the lo if it came now and I'm incredibly busy with the builders, making decisions etc. I am hoping that by the end of the week the holes in my bedroom ceiling will be filled and we can decorate the patches so our room is fit for moses basket but it is sooo dusty all over the house. Dust every day but makes no difference.
DH said 'told you so' about how long it was taking - he didn't want to start the building work before the baby came as he forsaw all this - clever him [sticks tongue out]. But i NEEDED to do this before the baby came IYKWIM. We have planned this since May but kept having the start dates put off. Final start date was 1st Sept with promise to be done by end of sept - no chance as they didn't work for 2 weeks while waiting for the stairs - which are now in and am really happy. Then they didn't come yesterday til 4pm. Very frustrating.
Nagged them so they are coming after lunch today and all tomorrow. Seems they are also doing another job at the same time and as mine is running behind they are doing both. I want them to concentrate on mine due to iminent birth - is that unreasonable. I understand the other couple are keen on their house being finished before xmas (it's a new build) but they don't have a baby on the way!
Sorry for the long post/ rant but I guess you can tell I am feeling a little frustrated that I can't enjoy the end of this pregnancy and let things happen when they happen.
