uropa - it's a bit of a long story and hasn't been officially recommended yet so nothing is certain but basically I have severe SPD, was also born with congenital hip dislocation (also severe) and have ongoing hip/pelvis problems, plus they think baby is big (and i am small!). Added to genetics being that my mum's pelvis was too flat to deliver naturally and my sister nearly dying in childbirth as pushed too long naturally it's kind of for my own sanity!!! Due to me not facing up to it all and also my mw being away for 2 appointments it is all a bit late in the day!

Everything ok Pigpen?

Yes.. I've just not had time or been in the right place to be eating.. Friday and Sunday we were travelling, Saturday we were at the wedding and yesterday I did salad with the left over chicken wings from the wedding.. I meant to get something later on but didn't.. I've survived on custard creams and slices of ham and the odd sandwich I think.

Must find list and do something..

OH loaded DW

Baby sleeping.. I'll make some calls I think while all is quiet.

I have ordered some new PJ's for the small pinks and socks for the baby.. and was VERY naughty and bought a snazzy changing bag.. I hate the freebie ones and the one that came with the pushchair has no internal compartments and I keep losing my phone and purse!

pigpen - eat first!!! I am awaiting my custom made changing bag from my sister in law, can't wait...it's using this fabric with some toning dots and stripes May not be here before baby now, but I can cope with the boots one in the short term!

I must do something off my list, the baby cardis are dry so can be folded and put away, I might have a bath and tackle my eyebrows, probably easier to try myself than get to the shop!

Ahhhh, i can totally understand why you would want to opt for a c-section then.

Well, whatever happens i hope it all goes smoothly for you. You could opt for a trial of labour if you wanted to and see how things progress. I am sure they will do everything they can to ease your worries and to help you get the birth you want.

Looking forward to seeing pics of your new arrival, it gets me all excited about mine!!!

Rach and uropa - hope everything goes well at the hospital this afternoon and you both get your dates sorted.

Puff, pant ... chugging on :j

Struggling to concentrate on DH's admin ... HH is too long, methinks I need to break it down into 10 mins at a shot and repeat!

In the meantime:

Sarnie made for DH and I, decluttered.
Load of washing hung on line, watch the gloriously blue skies turn to grey!
Another load in the machine
Load out of the TD, folded and put away, ironing in the basket
DD's bed remade
One window cleaned in her room
Mantelpiece dusted in her room
One bookshelf dusted, again, in her room.
Steamer rinsed out and left to dry
Dehumidifier on and attempting to dry out sodden cupboard
Bin emptied of bleach and sitting to dry in the sun
3 tomatoes liberated from greenhouse ... I really must make more of an effort to remember them next year.
Bin bag sourced, ready for attempting the "living room" (but strength of willpower not yet gained!) May take a photo and show you the disaster ...

Right, back to his admin .... 12:20 .... till .... :eek:
