Nope, try again

Ok, I don't want to throw around the term 'false alarm', but it's rather apt. Everything is fine and the pain was (frustratingly) unknown and natural. Well if pain like that is natural, I don't want to be natural. This did serve to give us a kick up the bum however and we've sorted all of the babies stuff out, put up the moses basket, found room for his clothes.....and it's only just dawned on me how much more stuff is in the loft (changing mat, nappies, bath etc etc etc). I'm glad we've at least got this stuff here, otherwise I'd never be able to sleep.

On that train of thought, my insomnia has been come and go a lot lately. I think about things far too much (which you probably already know with abundance) and it just runs through my head when I try to fall asleep. Last night was a prime example, but tonight I'm knackered as a result and hope to be counting sheep before too long.....so much so that it just took me three attempted to spell long. Yawn¬¬

36 weeks????

I was going to save this 'til tomorrow but as you'll discover, time is against me somewhat. So much so that I'm not sure I'll get this finished on time. Anyway here goes.

Get the boring stuff out the way first. Lost my job in May. Still not found another one. Became homeless and moved in with the parents on September. Another rant on housing another time. At the minute I really don't care.

Why so, you ask? Well the pregnancy has gone by quickly with no problems whatsoever. I can't believe he's been cooking for 36 weeks (one week and he's done officially, oh and it's a he :) ). and I'm a stupid amount of excited. Today, everything seems that bit bigger and scarier. Why? Well, this morning Nicola was confused whether she saw her plug go down the toilet...no not that type of plug. That ones attached to the sink. Then just after Xfactor (good timing) she started getting stabbing pains in the stomache, and nausea (that spelling looks wrong but I'm on a time limit damnit!!). I had to force her to let me ring the hospital and they said to take paracetamol and wait an hour. An hour later and she hasn't been able to take them, developed a back pain and the stomache pain now comes in waves. Exactly what I was thinking. You're way ahead of me. So, in 20 mins or so we've been told to go down to the hospital and get checked out. Arrrggh worriecited. aaarrrggghh.

Well wish us luck. I love you baby girl and hope we'll see our baby boy soon enough :)
