    Bella, sorry you have been so poorly. Sounds horrible :-( Hopefully the switch in working will help and like you say get to spend time at home with the family and hopefully rest a little. Take care.

    Missy - poor you being up so early. It sounds like you are really worrying about things at the minute. You will be ok. You have a good plan in your head and once you get that little list of things done that you have said, you'll feel much better and on top of things.

    Things like the house etc, they'll all come together eventually. You just concentrate on keeping yourself well and rested. Dare I say it but my friend had cleaners come in once a week (think she got a bargain at £8 per hour for two and it took them less than an hour!) for the first couple of months whilst baby arrived. Perhaps, even if you don't want them there when baby arrives, you could find the money for a couple of sessions before to ease your stress?? Even just having someone in for one big session of a deep clean to save you the hassle? I know it's not for everyone but thought i'd suggest it as it was a life saver for my friend as her hubby works from about 7am and doesn't get home until 9pm.

    How is your morning going? xxxx

    Hey well roo woke me up early playing, but I don't mind, it's a nice sound to wake up to :)

    It's a lovely day here :) I'm heading into the city later to meet my dad and step mum for coffee and maybe get Roo some more pyjamas. Feeling a bit springlike today even though it's freezing, hoping the combination of sun and cold will clear away the cobwebs! Was thinking of getting the bus in to save on parking but it only runs once an hour and can't guarantee it's a big enough bus to get the buggy on!

    Got lots of cleaning and phone calls done yesterday whilst roo slept, felt like superwoman! :) really should have got some Ebaying done but just ran out of time. Hopefully I'll get some done on Sunday. Baby is very active today, not the best feel when her little head is on my bladder!!

    Ok my dad popped in instead of going to the city, so not sure what to do with my day, am a little bit on the tired side, so when roo has a sleep I might have a nap too.

    Good afternoon :)

    Finished evening shifts now so relieved! Can at least get some early nights when I'm tired.

    I've been to town this morning got my nails done and eyebrows threaded feel like a new woman, just got to dye my hair tomorrow and ill be sorted. I'm going to a christening Sunday so need to look good, need to find something to wear too so it'll be back to town tomorrow.

    Bubs is asleep and OH has taken DS for his hair cut so feet up for a while I think :)

    A nap sounds a great idea missy might have one myself xx

    I went to a buggy fitness class in the end which got me out for 2 hours, was freezing though! It keeps trying to snow! Think me and roo ate going to have an easy tea of pizza, then bath and bed by 7, I'm absolutely wipe out today! Think I might go to bed and read my book for a change, although I might take roo upstairs shortly and try and sort some washing, as it's taking over the landing!!

    Morning missy

    Bubs didn't sleep well last night and has been up since 6 and doesn't seem to want to go back to sleep, oh well looks like ill be tired today.

    Buggy fit sounds good think we have something like that in a local park might have to give it a try.

    I'm just catching up on some tv I've recorded whilst everyone else is still asleep

    What are your plans for the day? I'm off to town in a while with my friend while OH watches the kids, need to buy an outfit for this christening. I had a quick look yesterday abut there doesn't seem to be a lot of choice all the dresses and tops seemed very casual, hope I find something .

    Xx
