Morning all
How are all you fabulous ladies this morning? Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Barbles but if you're not well go home hun. Although saying that I'm still suffering with this bloody cold and I'm in work too lol. I resemble rudolph the red nosed reindeer and sound like Roz from Monsters Inc - deep joy!
You know sometimes when you try to sleep but you can't because you have so much whizzing around in your head it becomes impossible to drift off? I literally had about an hours sleep last night, I feel like my head is about to explode. What a weekend its been.
Feel free to ignore this before it gets too long !!
Saturday morning I said goodbye to my gorgeous fur baby, Stella. I sobbed my heart out but the good news is she's settled into her new home perfectly and so it seems that I don't need to worry about her.
We then headed to go visit my brother in law and his fiancee and on the way there my hubby dropped the bombshell (he's good at these lately, first the cat now this) that he's been offered the job in York again and that he really wants to take it but he knows that we made a deal and that its up to me if he accepts the job or not. My DH is in the Army and there's only about 130 soldiers in the army who do the same job as him and he's the youngest ever to qualify and pass the course. It would appear that he's been doing a really good job in his current posting here and the unit in York has specifically asked for him to be their next man in the job. DH would normally have to wait 6 years now for a promotion but its more than likely that he'll be promoted after this next posting now (if he takes it) because its very high profile.
So the obvious decision at this point would be to accept wouldnt it? Well here's where it gets sucky. We would have to move in March 2012 which means the posting would be longer (DH's postings are 2 years, this would now be nearly 3) but he would be going to Afghanistan in Nov 2012 and I will be left in a city where I know nobody, being a single parent for 6 months with a young child and am 5 hours from home. I want to do the right thing by DH so I have pretty much resigned myself to moving in March but I am petrified.
So Anywho, cried about this on way to Brother in laws which made DH feel bad which I never meant to do, I understand its his career that keeps us afloat and he's worked too bloody hard to pass up chances like these, I just hate the thought of being away from him for 6 months. Although if I say 26 weeks it sounds better somehow!
Anyways, get to brother in laws and it turns out MIL, FIL and the nephew (from hell as I shall now refer to him) have invited themselves along too. No problems thus far you say? Well nephew decided to be as horrible about Jessica as you can imagine and don't get me wrong I know he's 7 but nobody was telling him off. He even bumped into my stomach on purpose about 3 times when we all went for a walk and I said to him to stop doing it and he said "and what are you going to do about it huh? I'll do what I like!" I swear to god my child will be so much nicer than him!!
Anyways, I was so glad to leave there in the end!! Had a lovely BBQ and when I tested my sugar levels before bed they'd shot up and so I had to phone the hospital. The original nurse I spoke to was about as helpful as a chocolate fireguard but eventually a proper midwife phoned me back and she said that if my sugars keep going up and if my growth scan shows that Jess is big on her growth scan on June 1st I may have to be induced there and then. Firstly, that scares the living daylights out of me as I will only be 35 weeks and I'm worried about my little munchkin being that early and secondly we're supposed to be moving house on the third!!
Then yesterday, I spoke to my dad and he's got to go to hospital for a check up on Friday. He's always had a minor problem with his kidneys but now the doctor has frightened him and said he's not sure if they're failing or not. My dad is so scared and worried bless him and I am for him.
I guess its just all too much to take in at the moment really. Everything seems like its just completely out of control and I don't feel like I'm doing anything to help anybody or doing whats best for anybody.
Sorry for another moan, you ladies must be so incredibly sick of me moaning by now. I guess I just know that I can talk to you ladies about anything and you guys don't judge me and give great advice. So, if you're still awake after reading all of that, advice please?!!
Love to you all XXX
It will be a sad day.
whether they are too hot/cold, putting suncream on etc.
