Hi all. Yey, finally had the scan and all is fine! Phew. Massively relieved. Had to wait around all day Monday at the hospital (decided to chance it with GP for a freebie), and then finally they said I had to come back the next day! So sort of wished I had spent the money instead but Cardiff is a long way. Anyway, Tuesday morning it all came together very quickly, and I got to see the little blob. Dates spot on, so 9 weeks tomorrow. Managed not to cry (was so tearful all day Monday but with all the waiting, my tears seemed to dry up! I am now an expert on the cheaper end of the women's magazines - Bella, Chat, Just Look etc etc...who actually reads that crap?!)
stripey glad to hear things better with C - did you see that sleep programme on ch4 last night? I thought it was pretty damn crap - but anyway, the upshot seemed to be that as long as consistently stuck to some sort of plan, they would sleep better.
dog oh I remember that stage so well, totally unable to concentrate on anything. Cleaning was always a good option. And MN of course! Are you doing home birth with pool again? How exciting!
tea camping sounds like fun.. my Mum used to fold our duvets in half width-wise and then sew up the sides with loose stitches she could easily undo afterwards - bingo, a homemade sleeping bag!
tree belt-tightening now sounds a good idea - otherwise having your income halved all at once will be a big shock. Playroom sounds fab. Love your recent pics on fb, garden looks brilliant and DDs as gorgeous as always.
Sounds like some good shopping tink - I need to sell some parenting books on ebay because I am sort of embarrassed to have so many on the shelves - 3 in a bed etc!
Must try to do some cleaning today but am thinking of getting someone in to do a 'deep clean'- it's just impossible to get on top of in this place I find - the spiders just move straight back in. And def need someone to do my oven - it's disgusting. Am off to organise now.
