BP is normal and the consultant at the hospital was very good - he said all signs are positive. I am dizzy because of the hormones and the cramps are just stretching - no bleeding and they are not spreading. If this changes then I will go back. They are no worse than my periods anyway and it is not all the time - some days there is nothing.
Oh and i am to nervous to write down EDD - i know it is silly but i am sooo early.0 -

My husband is the opp - hes a bit ocd about the house and complains that i'm untidy. He has been doing a lot more since I got pregnant (we blitz the house together at the weekends, and he does more than I do) but he does complain that it needs blitzing in the first place - seeing as i'm at home i should be keeping on top of it. I think its only going to get worse when I'm too busy/tired running around after a baby - especially as he might take a backseat with regards to the cleaning when i'm no longer pregnant.
Sounds similar to mine! Mine thinks I should vacuum daily, for starters! I should treat running the house like a job. I do try - but I am tired! And I have 3 kids already - 1 of which is at home most of teh time as he's only 3, so I can't nap etc in the day. And we live in a large house (which is nice, but cleaning 4 loos a day takes long enough!!) DH seems to think I sit on my butt all day - which if I did I'd keep up with this thread and post a lot more :rotfl::rotfl: This morning I am so tired - I was asleep some time between 11.30-12 midnight (which is late for me at the mo) and then the toddler decided to get up and wander around downstairs at 1.15am
(and no lights were on downstairs!) - I then didn't get back to sleep until gone 2 and was awake just before 6 - when I tried to doze until my alarm went at 6.20
that's not including 1 trip to the loo in the night and waking up when I needed to roll over because my hips hurt etc.
Hmm - didn't mean to moan so much!
Tasks for today:- washing - done and drying on rads/ in drier (hissing down outside)
- ironing - 2 loads of washing done yesterday & also today's when dry
- clean kitchen sides & tidy junk which has accumulated in there
- clean loos/ sinks
- vacuum downstairs
- tidy dining room
- phone tile shop and sort out order which DH is collecting from Wolverhampton today - we bought tiles for new bathroom on Sat which are being fitted tomorrow and the chap hs ordered a mix of choclate and charcoal ones - meant to be choc - DONE (although I'm not convinced order will be right!)
- Sew on badges for DS1's cub uniform (meeting tonight)
- mop kitchen, hall and downstairs loo
- tidy toys in family room (also known as my client room where I do massage so need to sort it for end of week!)
- think of something for tea!!
- Order nursing bras online - think that's all I need to get before birth now (hopefully.......)
- order fabric samples from velux for blinds for loft - has been on to do list fpr more than 3 weeks!!
- send paperwork to Inland Rev for small earnings exemption cert so I can try and claim some Mat Allowance (ffinger crossed.)

Sami, worktops don't look clean once he's finished, they actually look worse as he just shifts the dirt to the sides. :rotfl:Too many children, too little time!!!
