We're good to go!

Trish came round today with my homebirth pack (yay!) and we're now good to go (cause i started writing this some time ago LOL) BP was fine, babe is head down- and i swear it's all legs! I got an unexpected peek at it last week. HR still there and wriggly LOL. urine clear. i need another anti-d which i've arranged to have at the end of the week.

I need to buy a car seat and some water proof sheeting (read shower curtains!) and see if i can still borrow a freinds birthing pool (please, i've been trying for a water birth for years!)

the cloth nappies and all the baby clothes we have are at mums now. just need to bring the moses basket over. and after that we pack for me and the girlies. hopefully that will give me enough room to at least have space in our bedroom to create room for baby-kins!

now i just need to hold on to my temper a wee while longer and then when this one arrives get down to housing to add them to the list (entitling us to a bigger property) meanwhile i need to try and get hold of our housing officer about a hole in the roof and to see what on earth is going on with the lease (that they told us they weren't renewing and was up almost 4 months ago)

next excitement... beth's birthday!! new post with pics to follow after the big event LOL

Brrr! Heating broke. AGAIN

yup, you read right. our heating packed up for the second time this year (so, we're onto 3 heating malfunctions in 2 years. brilliatn) The engineer came to fix it today. Told him the whole system had been flushed out and he phone through for the part needed to fix it (hopefully once and for all) he'll be back tomrow- a hwole day earlier than i expected!

The Monster (AKA asthma)

I'm bidding on a nebuliser on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160173942831&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=006) and have defintley gone over what i can realistically afford. but i really do benefit from a neb treatment when the ventolin needs taking every 1-3hrs (and that tends to be when i'm on max symbicort and prednisone as well.) i don't even want to use it ALL. the time. probably only 2-3x year.

Weightloss (1/4 of the way there and....)

i seem to have plateaued the weight loss a little bit. but not gained either which is good! i will get back on track with it. in spite of us having our wedding anniversary chinese tonight instead of tomrow (ok, it's pizza tomorrow but thats for the kids)


Babies!

No secret that I would love one more. Our health visitor rang me earlier. will i go accross the road and say hi to a new mum in the area. She has a little girl. Didn't tell me said little girl is a 2wk old cutie pie! Beth now wants to share her birthday with a baby. And Sian jsut wants a baby! Oh, they'd both like Mamma to have a girl LOL i todl them we get what we're given. I'm jsut glad they haven't asked *how* the baby gets there yet!!
