The Fear

Not panicking at all. Not even a little bit. Its just that out of the 7 couples in our antenatal class, one had her twins at 30 weeks, one had her daughter last week at 33 weeks and one is due to be induced this week at 35 weeks. Crikey.

Feeling the need to leap out of bed (admittedly it is 1pm so probably time to be getting up) and get on with all the things that still need doing...

Practising

Last night at our antenatal class the ladies talked about pelvic floors and other such things while the men were sent out of the room to complete a challenge.

They returned each with a doll in their arms. They had had to put a nappy on, select outfits from a large box of clothes and dress the dolls.

I am very proud to say that Simeon managed to put the nappy on the right way round, put on a vest and a babygrow and find a hat and mittens that matched the babygrow. He then sat with the doll in his arms like a pro.

I am supremely impressed!

Where to begin

So, I have returned from 5 days in Dunstable where I was helping a friend out with wedding preparations and now can start with the serious business of maternity leave. Problem is, there is so much to do that I don't know where to start. In addition to the list of things I want to make, I need to rearrange the spare room and dining room, do all the laundry, tidy the guest room, get the bed fixed in the guest room, clear the cupboard in Eddie's room, do some grocery shopping.... the list goes on. I also need to find the time to do some relaxing.

But first, a cup of tea and a cupcake.
