In Labour - Sort of Anyway
This morning, after four days of mucus and small contractions, my waters broke at 6.15am. I thought that would mean that the bub would be coming today. But apparently not. My cervix hasn't dialated, meaning that bub is actually not ready to be born. I spent 2 and a half hours at the hospital only to be told that I would have to go home until I was ( Read more... ) -
Confirmation... Sort of anyway.
Since my last post on Monday.Had some contractions late on Monday night (for 2 hours, approximately 20 minutes between them, each contraction was only a few seconds). And yesterday everyone was positive that bub had dropped. I wasn't so sure, considering that I was still getting heartburn (ok, so it wasn't as bad as it had been, but it was still ( Read more... ) -

It's My Own Fault
I knew I only had a few days to get my cooking done when I bought the meat on Sunday, but I was sure that I would get it all done before Wednesday (the day I figured the meat would be fine in the fridge til). Ooops, I think I forgot that I only had til Wednesday, and if I wasn't going to cook by then, the meat would have to be frozen ( Read more... ) -
Finally Completed Tasks
Since our new bookshelf arrived yesterday, today was spent moving books around, and filling the shelves (it's actually wider and deeper than the other shelves so it fits a lot more books on it). It is now mostly full (with the old shelves full of the bigger books, textbooks, and other educational paraphernalia). It's hard to believe that we were ( Read more... ) -
Success
Had my parents and brother over for dinner tonight, it all went well (ok, so the greens were overcooked - but they arrived late, and mum wanted to see the nursery before dinner). I don't think I'm brave enough yet to have the whole family over, but I will have to before we have the bub (mainly because I can't see me making dinner for 9 (or 10) at ( Read more... ) -
Getting There...
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate.
Today I finally got my brother to come round and remove the bulk of the furniture that had to leave the house, so that I can set up the nursery.
The telephone calls went like this.

Organising Everything
I'm starting to get to the point where I want everything (and everyone) organised for when I have the bub. I'm finishing up at work next Friday (8 more working days), and am starting to organise my boss into doing the work that I have sitting there for her to 'review ( Read more... ) -
Breathes a Sigh of Relief
My final exam for the year is now over. Now I just have to wait for the results (supposedly out on 17th December, but they may be online earlier than that ( Read more... ) -
Too Much Happening
I don't think I'm really used to being over-worked (and I'm not just talking about paid work). My last week was exhausting. Mostly my own fault I believe. Let's run through, shall we.
Monday - Work all day, then go to adult education (bible studies) class in the evening.
Tuesday - Work all day, go to pregnancy exercise class in the evening
