Hair hoovered up

and upstairs finished.

Off to park in 5 minutes. Wanted to get more flying done but never mind

tomrrow - living room
Friday - kitchen

Office and family room had lots of attention last week so they can skip a week - back to the sorting of them next week when kids are back in school.

Galantvr - no, no high temp at all, had been high all day but then came right down before bed and the wobbly began.
Michelle - Can't wait till he can tell me whats the matter, doctor wondered if it could a urine infection and it was cos he was trying to pee (sorry TMI!) but coudn't be certain without Sam saying it hurt. Got to try and collect a sample! Crikey, that date is getting so close!!! Scary how fast things are creeping up on us, have you started getting ready for baby yet?
HollyH - your walk sounds like a nightmare! Hope your arms feel better soon

DS in his cot for a nap, happily chatting away to himself but hopefully he'll settle soon. Looks better for some fresh air so will take him around again later and prehaps play in his new playhouse in the garden. Had a chat with my neighbour who was at party on Saturday, both her kids have caught hacking coughs from there so it must be something he picked up there. Shes a doctor who developed childrens medicine before she become a SAHM so has given me some good advice on how to make him comfortable.

Since my last post I've S&S kitchen, made and eaten lunch for us and FIL, washing pegged out.

Need to do tons more but just going relax for a bit after the past two days.

Not too much info. Have fun getting a wee sample. We had to do that when charlie was a few weeks old for his jaundice tests at the hospital. They gave us what looked like a sanitary towel, and i had to sit him on my knee with it wrapped around him to try and catch the pee. Not fun. When he did wee, it missed it, so i only got a few drops, but as he was such a tiny baby they let us get away with it.

new baby - what new baby seriously, DH got me a double buggy in the sales the other week, and i bought a box of washable breast pads and a couple of packs of newborn nappies, but that is as organised as we get. I have a 4D scan on the 23rd of this month. I think part of me is waiting until after that as i wasn't convinced by how confident they were about it being another boy. i guess i don't really need to buy very much as everything from charlie is in the loft. Just have to get DH to get it down again, which, until the DIY gets done, there is no room.


I've had an ah - bless moment this morning. My friend with a 5 week old baby just texted me to ask if it was normal for them to have a soft skull. I must be the baby guru to her. I was just glad i was near the phone so i could text her straight back and put her mind at rest.

So I did loads!

Took DS2 to nursery at 12.30, went to my dad's who made me yummy stir fry for lunch and now I'm home waiting till it's time to get DS1 from school. Just going to install AOL cos the bit I needed arrived... but so did my nail gems....

Decided to do my flying tonight as tbh, it's not worth it right now. I'd only have to do it twice and hubby is working till midnight anyway. :rolleyes:

OK, AOL, so DS1 can have a go later on.

Michelle - they gave us a bag thing that you put over them and they wee inside it. Have used these before when was in hopsital when he was 5 weeks old but they are a nightmare getting them off when it was full. Will try later when he's running about bare! Sounds good about the scan, I wished I'd had one now last time, like you say though you'll most stuff from Charlie, I saved everything from Sam, even nappies we didn't use.
