Kelly - I hope something happens quickly for you. That is surely against the Geneva Convention to expect someone to put up with labour pains for more than a week!!!
Murph - your Daintree dream sounds lovely. We moved from the bright lights of London to the country in Somerset recently and also turfed the TV. Our loungeroom is so cosy now without that big dominating monster in it! We found we were paying for a TV licence and cable and were just watching the same DIY repeats or crap soaps. The thing that ****ed me off most was paying extra for cable and it all being repeats and the amount of ads on it. We were paying to watch ads!!! We listen to the radio now. Radio plays are quite good and you can move about while listening to them. There are some pretty funny comedy radio shows on here too. So now we are doing a lot more like painting, drawing, knitting, being creative in the kitchen (I am a king jam, pickle and wine maker now!) and can listen to great music or just switch it off and talk!!! I feel like I am living life now rather than just watching other people on the Tv living it!!!
Greenslw- Sorry to hear about life being uncertain at the moment. Just when you need to have some security! I know all I want to concentrate on is growing this baby and having a home to bring it to. Sometimes my DH comes home saying he hates his job and employer and wants to pack up and move to another county. I hate it! Sometimes they just need to vent and men tend to make big announcements out of nowhere as they tend to stew on things and we don't hear about it until they have got really fed up. We women will talk and talk it out so usually there are no surprises in what we feel about things. Hopefully having got it out into the open air your DH can start to talk about it with you and it may not be as drastic as you fear. Fingers crossed!
Smithy - it is great being able to finally shop knowing what colour is ok! We were buying blue anyway as we thought a girl can wear blue but now we know that pink is definitely out!
Azz - pity about the wait. Sounds painful having two kicking! It is bad enoough with one!
Saph - Happy belated birthday! Hope you got tons of presents for you and not for the baby! I always make a point of giving pregnant birthday girls a very girly 'me' present. Too many people buy stuff for the baby and although it is welcome it must be sad not to get any 'special' presents!
BOC - The pregnant dreams are weird aren't they. I keep on dreaming I give birth to a cat! It starts off as a baby but as soon as it is put on my chest it turns into a cat. the breastfeeding a cat dream has to be my weirdest!!!
Everyone else - belly rubs!!! Sorry if I have missed you!
AFM - DH is unable to get to work as his car died. The scrapper man picked it up yesterday. We are in a remote rural area and it seems impossible to find another car. I am supposed to be looking for a car on the net now. DH has banned himself from looking as he bought a car from a car auction last week (he was trying to get one before his car died as he knew it was about to happen) and it died on the way home. The scrapper man wouldn't even give us 50 pounds for it and it is now sitting in our garage, unregistered and dead after using up a lot of our final savings. DH doesn't trust his judgment so seems to think I can do a better job of finding the next car!!! I have no idea! Last thing I want to think about.
Baby is kicking in response to touch and sound now. We play lots of games with my belly now getting him to kick and watching my belly move!!
