It's such a hassel but hopefully it'l be worth it stress we don't need isn't it

Certainly is! In the meantime, I've sold an expensive thing that is in a big pile of boxes I haven't been able to lift in months. So have to unpack them one by one every time to get to the bottom ones, my poor back!

Pram finally arrived, yay! So much for a half hour warning on my mobile though, they didn't even give him the number. Luckily I knew they'd be hopeless, so I wasn't in the bath or at Tesco! I've promised we'll unpack it next week when the other half is over, so I'll have to be good and leave well alone.

Oh, for the weekend, I'm off to see the other half, then we're going OUT! Yes, out! But it means spending half of saturday in a van travelling, not sure how my back will take it, but I need to leave the house!

Thought I'd upload this before I start my ironing, anything to put it off. Even though I've not put on that much weight I feel like a big heifer! Pregnancy grrr.

My god I cant stop eating today. Seems to be all things sweet which I have been off so far. Now i'm eying up some nice choccies that are supposed to be christmas pressies. I think I may have to hide them from myself:o

Lucy I've been off sweet stuff most of the time since being pg but have bought myself some sour haribo scary monsters that were reduced in morrisons to have over the weekend. only trouble is I know i'll feel sick after eating them, half a pack of fruit pastilles had me feeling sick for hours last weekend!!

Just got off the phone from my mum. * Sigh*. I'm a bit miffed with her, but then, i'm also feeling bad for feeling that way as i know its a bit selfish of me.

She has decided to "adopt" a rescue dog that some friends of hers have been looking after until it was rehomed. She was talking about it for a while, since she went to stay with them a month or so ago, but i didnt think she would just take the plunge like that. Its a lovely idea, and i'm not against it in principle, as i think it will be nice for her to have some company. My problem is a) she hasnt had her big op yet, and when she does, she will be in hospital for minimum of 1 week, and will be in bed at home for most likely a week, and then up and about with minimum movement, no driving for weeks more. Certainly not able to bend over and clean up messes, or take him for walks. She says its fine, and the friends will have him back whilst she is out of action, but it seems a little unfair to uproot him again. However, thats up to her..
The reason i am more miffed, is that she lives over 3 hours away by car, more by PT, so when bean arrives- her first grandchild, she wont be able to really get here and back in a day, she cant leave the dog alone for days, and we will have a tiny tiny house, with three cats, as well as a baby, so she cant bring the dog here. Which means she basically wont be able to come and visit and meet beanie, and i dont think its fair to expect me and a new bean to have to spend 4-5 hours (with the stopping on enroute to feed, change nappies, crying, and not supposed to leave them in car seats for hours on end etc) on the road to visit her. So it feels like she is prioritising some dog over me and bean. She could easily have waited till a month or two after christmas, when she will have had her op, and bean will be here, as the friends werent going to get rid of him.
More gutting as she has been moaning and guilt tripping me over the fact that her granddaughter won't know her as she lives so far away from us and will prefer step g/m and my PIL. Not exactly helping is she! Am i really horrible person for being miffed?

No I dont think you're wrong to feel miffed. I know I would if I was in the same situation. It does seem to me like she hasnt really thought things thru properly. Have you said what you've said here to her esp re the travelling situation? Maybe she's not thought of that? x

I'm feeling really miserable now... esp as she sent a photo through, no message, just a title, "My new adopted son". Thanks i feel great now mum. Nice to know where priorities are!

Yes, i did mention it all to her and checked that she understood she wouldnt be able to bring the dog here, and she said "yes your house is too small for him"..

On a different note, she also said she had a feeling that Bean was going to arrive early, and has had that feeling all along.. Interesting. Doesnt run in the family. But then, if bean is on track for 9-10lb at full term, then a bit early would be good!!!
