YEY!!!
Welcome Millie, and well done Scorpio, its lovely news at long last. Congraulations, you must fill us in on whether it was the curry that did the trick...
Hi to everyone else! well, it has been a week and a half in the KG household. Firstly, I feel a bit evil over my ranting as he doesn't reguarly go out so much, usually its only Monday evening to play football and catch last orders, so think I was a hormonal crisis . Anyway, it was put very much into perspective as we found out last Sunday that mil has cancer again, and it has spread to her liver,lungs and bones.She is having more chemo, and we are trying to be positive and strong for her, but dh is devastated, and is praying she gets to see bump.
Also, I had my interview with my headteacher and personnel about doing reduced hours after mat leave. Still waiting for the reply, but I am hopeful about being granted it, but the downside is a will lose my mamagenent role and go back to just being a class teacher. On one hand the pressure will be much less, but I feel a bit as though it will be a bit of a step back too, as though I've served my purpose, and can't possibly be a competent manager and a mum too. Still, I have got it in pespective after lots of tears and thoughts, nothing matters as much as the welfare of my baby, and I'll happily do anything it takes. The shock of the intrview is that I was expected to justify my future antenatal appointments, time off with this pegnancy, and my sick record was brought up back to 2001 !!!! I couldn't beleieve it as I never swing the lead and the time I've had off was mostly due to huge things such as when my dad died, miscarriage, threatened miscarriage and then the whole parvovirus malarkey. I went home feeling very shakey and stunned. Work, eh? Roll on mat leave, I think I have just lost all motivation.
Love the Stokke cot! I wanted one but then I didn't like the patterns on the bedding etc, and had to have the one made by Stokke because of the shape. We've gone for a moses basket and rocking stand for the first months from Claire de Lune, will try post a link in a bit, its got some quite nice things on the website.
Thanks for the cot ideas, I'm no further on with the shopping this week though. I like the idea of one to push up to the bed, but we havn't got room for one in our room and don't want to have to bum shuffle to the bottom of the bed evry time I need the loo !
Maybe I've got it wrong about the spine thingy, being completely green about these things, I just know that we have been told not to use the car seat bit on the bugaboo for longer than 1 and a half to 2 hours to allow baby to straighten their spine. Maybe it only applies to the car seat?
Quite like the new pram, Ready but still prefer the bug...
Bye for now....xx
