! Its already one day down since when you posted yesterday i suppose.. so 39 days to go!! Thinking about you

Love this comment

While I'd love another meet up London is too far for me to be going at the moment and I don't really feel comfortable making mid term plans atm either as I just don't know where I'm going to be in 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks etc. One day at a time.

Have a bit more energy today after my mega acupuncture session yesterday. So I'm trying to get on with a little ironing, NIM definitely has the biggest pile so I'm going to try to do my pile and the bedding today, then probably Grace's box and NIMs 2 boxes tomorrow and Tuesday. Can't stay on my feet too long though so I'm scanning and shredding our paperwork in between. Grace is napping and since she was up at 5.15 I think she might have a few hours today, handy for getting on top of things.

Feels like ages since I did anything to make any extra money, or paid anything extra off the debts, but I'm focussed on family right now, getting the baby out nice and chunky and getting the house all sorted out and lingering jobs not hanging over me any more. Quite a few of the jobs I've been doing are money making in a way though, returning things we don't need (somehow I managed to order two hoovers not one, and I'm returning a camera I got at Christmas as it's not working well), and filling in forms for tax credits and maternity allowance. Not currently eligible for tax credits I don't think, but we will be once the little guy arrives. It's really hard to know as last year I have no real clue what NIM earned since there was so much chopping and changing.

I've got my fingers crossed that the next 39 days pass without even a hint of a whisper of your little man arriving! Grace is such a funny little thing, she'll be a brilliant big sister!

We've got the Keith, Barry and Norman books! Determined that Zach will like story time so he's got a bookcase full already!

McBusted on Friday night were amazing! Had a good sing-along and screamed like a girl! The staging was amazing and we had tickets on the floor about 10 rows away from the stage so we could actually see what was going on without just watching the screens- brilliant! Was so tired though, had to drive to Manchester and back, via Leeds to pick up my friends and got home at 1am after being awake since 4 that morning! Then it took me ages to get to sleep, dropped off about 2.30 and was woken up at 3.15! Still feeling sleepy now as I just never get the opportunity to catch up on lost sleep!

There's Doug the Bug and Bernard the Robot with No Bot, but they're not as good as Barry, Norman and Keith. Grace's first favourite books were the 'That's not my' series, she still brings them out every few days, but she only started enjoying her stories at about 9 months old.

Glad you had a good night at McBusted. I can only assume you get to catch up on sleep intensively once they hit the teenage years, until then it seems to be years of not ever getting enough!

Heartburn, or rather I think it's acid reflux as its my throat not chest, is doing a complete number on me today. Even gaviscon isn't touching the sides. I only get it when I'm pregnant but it's blinking miserable.

Dinah - another day today, take each day at a time .

Will have to have a look at those books, Poppy has the doug the bug ones but the others look great!

Mcbusted sounds fab Birdie, nice to have an evening out.

I know how you feel about the sleep. I am hoping to catch up one day...

Another day another medication change from the consultant. He's near enough doubled my dose of one of my medications today from 900mg a day to 1600mg a day. This one tends to work well so hopefully he's just bought me a couple of worry free weeks. Heartburn/reflux still making life a complete and utter misery.

Just put Grace down in her cot for her nap, got a 'not naptime mama, oh no!'... which was ignored. Until about 2 mins later when I hear a loud thunk, go into her room and there she is on the rug outside the cot looking quite pleased with herself. So the sides need to come off that tonight then!

Fingers crossed the medication helps.

Eek about Grace climbing out the cot! Hope it goes OK with the sides off.

Glad for your scan news Dinah, and hope the new meds do the trick. Am counting the days and crossing everything that this pregnancy goes smoothly.

I'm just in Sweden finishing off my presentation for tomorrow. Another thing almost ticked off the list. I can't wait to spend some serious time lying on the sofa. 34 weeks today for me so a little early - but I feel properly knackered. Got our girl's name sorted Tink, it's actually the same name as one of our threadies But nothing even on the shortlist for boys, eep!

CMD, I hope I get a sleepy baby like your sister

Glad McBusted was good Birdie!

Hugs to all x

Birdie85

I can't believe that Grace is big enough to be climbing out of her cot! Where's your teeny tiny little doll gone?!

Oooh I wonder which threadie is your girl's name Lara?! Hope you find the perfect boy's name, it is so tough choosing one!

Hope the medication is working Dinah! I was wondering if you fancy me and Zach coming to visit one day? Got some newborn clothes you can have too
