Well NCT went fine - there's always those cringey moments when you have to make small talk, but we have 5 hours tomorrow so that will help! Originally booked for 8 x 2hr classes, but they had to swap instructor so ended up with 4 x 2hr eve classes and 2 x 5 hr weekend ones which DH can't make! Still, he's quite good at picking things up.
Builder coming in this weekend so now in position of having no lounge or kitchen and need both to be empty so am about to empty out the cupboards! Trying to be finished for Christmas, but lets hope the baby doesn't come early. Not bothering with a nursery and need to put off buying stuff as no where to put it!
Flora been feeling a bit overwhelmed about buying stuff. Can't afford to buy all new (which would be a lot easier) so it's taking longer to research prices and work out what must be new and what can be recycled. Also, Mothercare scares me a bit!
The one thing we did do last week was meet 2 ladies who we are going to have as p/n doulas. My family isn't local and my Mum isn't at all domestic and I don't want my DH trying to do everything and not getting to bond with the baby so these lovely ladies are going to come in and give us practical support (cooking, cleaning etc) + emotional/BF support. Haven't worked out how often yet - maybe a few hours a couple of times a week, but think it will be good.
All going well with the independent m/w. She had a very funny letter from my GP when she wrote to tell them I had transferred to her care and was planning a home birth. They talked about how bad the snow had been this year in January and that they all have a 4x4. It's is a bit of a joke considering we live by a very main road which was accessible throughout the snow this year and we have a train station in the village!!! Good job I am used to fighting my corner!
Well, those cupboards beckon! Have a good w/end all!
PS - Isn't it funny how the babies start getting so active - mine was having a great time at 5.30am, much to my displeasure!!
