Hello folks,
Well the baby's head has been 4/5 engaged for about 3 weeks now, and I'm not sure that has anything to do with it, but I've developed SPD which is short for "lots of pain in your pubic joint because it is separating and bone is rubbing on bone". I can barely walk anymore, and am not going outside - well, the paths and roads are all snowy/icy anyway. However, this is not the best situation for living in a 3 story house. I'm tring to look on it as a time to stay off the computer (ground floor) and work on my baby projects and mending pile (2nd floor).
There's not much I can do except take codeine and try to move as little as possible. Mark has been waiting on me hand and foot, but has to go back to work on Tuesday. Thank goodness we have a functional toilet up on the 2nd floor now....
Two weeks to go until Baby Day, unless Baby has different ideas about "due date" than the rest of us. I want the birthday as far from Christmas as possible, since I know what a drag it is to have a birthday
8 days before Christmas, but on the other hand I'd like Baby to vacate the womb!Builder update: the plasterer has given us every excuse in the book (I thought I had heard them all) as to why he has not done the plastering. Hence, he either has the worst luck of anyone in Scotland, or just doesn't want to do the work. Possibly both. So the building work isn't done, because they can't finish putting up shelves in my someday-sewing-room until the wall is plastered. Until the shelves are up, and various other rooms are plastered, we can't get a painter or carpet fitter in. Result: house will not be finished by January 12th. I'm cramming the cot and the changing table into our bedroom somehow, but it means it will be very difficult to access my sewing items, or indeed get into our bed. Joyous times.
