Thank fully i only have to do minimum walking bus stop is at the end of my road that takes us directly to the bus station then hop on a bus that more or less drops outside youngests school. the older one then makes her way to her school and DS has now decided he is old enough to walk to his school from the bus stop himself so i stay at the bottom of the road and watch him go in then straight back on the bus. If i had to do what i used to then they would have been off school for the last 8 wks lol :-)

I get on a bus here round the corner that goes quite close to school. Twins are in year 1 so still have to be collected from the classroom. Usually I catch the earlier bus so that if it's late I'm not late but I was asleep when that one left today :o and I'm not sure I could have coped with an hour in town, I really really hurt today

It's killing me though. There are no bus stops with seats without walking into town so I end up sat on the floor with the twins sat on my knee for over 20 minutes, which is just about the worst thing for my SPD.

Starting to think that I should book a physio appointment and say I will have those crutches after all :rotfl: Although I'd only be able to use them at home, there's no chance of crossing a main road with 3 kids under 8 and all their related stuff on crutches.

Sorry, rant over now. Bad day! I just know it's going to get worse, gonna take some paracetamol before I go I think.

At least the canneloni I made yesterday was massive so OH and DD1 can have that re-zapped and I've only got to cook for the twins.

ETA: The village school is only about 5 minutes away from my house, if I hadn't been to their 'non-competitive'?! sportsday the other day and seen that the whole place seems quite shambolic I'd probably be out buying green school uniform

I don't know how you ladies cope with being pregnant and having to run around after your other kids- super women!! I am finding it hard enough being pregnant and not having any others to worry about!!

PP: your not allowed to leave us yet!!

just got home after visiting friends. one of them has lent me her hypno birthing cd's so i will have a listen to them one little ones in bed for the night. Also got my parcel from mothercare today so have a few new bits including some very comfortable trousers - even if not very flattering. Think i have everything now for hospital bags and for 1st few months (other than cot matteress). i do like to be organised:)

saw MW yesterday and although i am not yet 25 weeks yet she has given me my HIPG form signed with strict instructions not to send it until the right date.

xmas, quite a bit of the time I feel bruised at the top of my bump, and I've said, I'm sure she thinks she can make it through, looking for a weak spot. Unfortunately she has to come out the other end, Hubby said the line down my bump should just be a zip that opens up and then dissapears afterwards, I'm convinced it's bad design work this giving birth lark.

Labour vibes to all those in need.

Sorry if I have missed any arrivals if I have huge congrats. :j

I have just got in from town and the heavens have opened :mad: I have been trying to find a maternity bra that fits and feels nice I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing!

The shops are soo hot & muggy I gave up in the end. I got a couple of £5 tops in Mothercare and then some summer clothes for bump in debenhams kids sale.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEED SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Food and caffeine aren't working.. I think I may be a mushy blob this weekend and not move.. I need a trip to shop to fill the freezers just in case I bid a hasty retreat.. can't have OH starving to death now can I?! he needs a run to tesco to pick up bits for the hospital bag for grazing purposes too.. so I'll sort that later..

Off to collect gremlins once I've hobbled my fat self to the loo...

Someone said today I can't possibly onely have such a short time left as my bump is so tiny... something VERY wrong with her vision!! I think it looks smaller because te chesticles are so huge lol

wonder how Tiddles has got on today at school with her new shoes..

I got a royce one (or 4) from bravissimo.. they are luvverly.... M&S have the straps too wide apart for my female shoulders.. I am certain the make bras for men in there!!! They are on quidco.. and online and their returns/exchanges are very good.

Mothercare ones are rubbish.. their sizing is WAAAAAAAAAY off everywhere else.. the Emma Jane bras are usually fairly nice too.

delain I went to my daughters sports day today and it was a proper competitive sports day, it was brilliant. Even the nursery were doing races, egg and spoon, dressing up races, normal races and obstacle races. there were even parent races but I couldn't really do that.

My DD school is 5 minutes down the road thankfully. DS goes to preschool for the last time on wednesday which is a 10-15 min walk, then starts at DD school in sept so I should be ok but have to start leaving a little earlier probably. I do have an offer from one of the mums that she will take them for me if it gets to much or just after the birth, bless her, but then she does walk straight outside my house and only lives round the corner as well. Hopefully I'll be ok though.

I've stuck oven cleaner in the oven and am leaving it to soak, that means it has to be a takeaway tonight, hmm what to have. I can't decide if I want to walk to the chip shop or get chinese delivered. OH isn't here so can't send him out.
