Fed up........

[swirlyarts]

........of waiting for this baby to arrive!
I've still got three and a half weeks to go but they are going to incude me on the 19th (hopefully) due to a pelvis problem. But really fed up and the fact that I can't move easily and can't pick up my 2 year old is starting to get annoying - that and the hot weather!! Most of my friends think I'm mad but I'm looking forward to the birth and getting this baby out.
I feel better now that I have had this little rant

P.S. Any advice on going into labour naturally would be much apreciated!!!!!

I know what the wait is like and I sympathise with you, I was induced with both my boys........ a whole 2 weeks after due date. They were just way too comfortable where they were!

[swirlyarts]

Well at least I know that this one isn't going to be overdue - thats something at least! Well it's another sunny day here - lets hope it's not too hot!

[0103media]

OMG its hot here..

I got all the above to look forward too.. Well not me but my partner (one day)

[swirlyarts]

Offer lots of sympathy and hope it's a winter birth!!!!! Done lots of sorting this morning so I'm feeling happier than yesterday. Perhaps I'll post later with a good day report

[swirlyarts]

Ok - starting to panic a bit now as it's only five days to go until they induce!!! Not actually panicing about having the baby - just trying to get the house sorted! I have got too much stuff and it seems to breed - and have the ability to move from one room to another!
Just spent two hours cleaning my bathroom but at least now I have clean grout and sorted cupboards etc
Off to clean the oven in a minute when I've had my cup of tea - I must be mad!

[Seahorse]

Ive heard sorting the house out is called nesting.
Is there any good daytime TV that can take your mind off it?

[swirlyarts]

I'm sure there is something on that I can watch but Anya is watching Cbeebies at the moment before lunch and she will get cross if I turn Roly Mo off!!
Everyone who knows me tells me my tidying must be 'nesting' because I never tidy otherwise Haven't actually made it into the kitchen yet to clean the cooker but thats what I'm going to do now before lunch.........

[Seahorse]

If you really need something to do you can tidy my place for me,its a tip!!
I feel a hoovering session approaching, il pretend to be Freddie Mercury in the 'I want to break free' video, makes it more fun.

[swirlyarts]

'I want to break freeeeeeeeeeeeee'
I'll do that later when I'm hoovering - don't know whats wrong with me as I'm actually thinking of other things to tidy Need to find something else to do quick!!!!

[swirlyarts]

Aaarrrggghhh - just got back from the midwife and she was a pain in the backside - not my normal one. She practically told me I was lying when I said that they are inducing on Monday and then promptly phoned the delivery suite at the hospital to prove that they weren't!!! I told her that the consultant had said that she was going to induce on Monday and I had been specifically told to bring my bags in and that she had joked about me having my baby that afternoon (she delivered Anya and she only took 4 hours!).
So the good mood I was in this morning has just evaporated Going to take my frustrations out on the ironing I think!

[Seahorse]

I fear for your shirts!!

Take a deep breath and say to yourself 'its not my fault that the substitute midwife is a numpty, its just the way she is' then stick on Queen Greatest Hits and get ironing.

Warning-when using the iron for a microphone try not to scold your mouth.

[swirlyarts]

That really cheered me up . I now have the image of me going to hospital and explaining why I have an iron scold on my mouth - hee hee hee
The substitute midwife really was a numpty but not going to think about her now

when I had Eden we had just moved back to Yorkshire from London and our house was a total wreck so we'd moved in to my mums until it was ready. It had been derelict and we were rushing to get things sorted out so that we could get the furniture out of storage. There were ten weeks to get the builders in and out again, get decorated, the furniture in and so that I could have my much longed for homebirth. I have never in my whole life worked so hard. The builders took 9.5 weeks and I still thought I'd be able to get the decorating finished, carpets layed and have everything ready. Needless to say I was still frantically painting at 5pm. I poped back to mums to put the kids to bed and have some tea and then I began to suspect that we might not make the deadline. At 7pm I went back to the house to do more painting and by 10pm I knew I'd better give up. Eden was born at (mums) home at 1am.
I'll never know where I got the extra stregnth from in those 10 weeks. I did my fair share of nesting!!!
The funny thing is, the bits of painting that never got finished befor she was born only got done last year (Eden is 6 now). I just never had the energy once she arrived! so swirly my advice to you is take advantage of the nesting... it will keep you busy and you'll never have time once the baby is here.
Looking forward to hearing your news!!

Eden, what a gorgeous name!!
