and mummies too did they put "magic cream" on his hands first? x
he has a MASSIVE bruiseright across his whole hand from it 
So of course for the second attempt he knew they were going to hurt him and was terrified. Never heard him scream like that before! 
horrible. At least its over now. And the fluids really helped a lot, so it was all necessary.
hope you're being looked after 
I cant stop sneezing. 
I forgot to say my nephew Gabriel goes there now so he's with his cousin 3 days a week which is great!
No cake, 2 presents and a handful of cards. Plus exploding pooey nappy to greet me in the morning, a clingy toddler all day, and an OH who decided "it's not really worth taking the day off on your birthday is it?" No, love we took a week off for yours, but not to worry! Ah well, serves me right for being born so close to christmas! I sound really ungratful and bitter, i'm not really, just in mourning for the days when birthday meant i'd get one day of being treated like a princess 
I suppose i have my 40th in a few years to look forwards to, if thats not special there will be beatings!!! 
I don't have any sparkley stuff anymore, so yay 
Got midwife booking in in 2 weeks time! Seems a lot later than last time (7 weeks last time) but I know the service has changed a lot in the last year and you dont get as much supervision. Do you think I will have to see a consultant because of my emcs last time?
But still a big happy birthday to you The gloves sound fab 
so I pigged out on garlic olives and very garlicy home made garlic bread. Poor Steve Tomorrow I have a stall at a Christmas craft fayre so I'm busy trying to get everything ready. I had all the stuff already from when I used to make stuff to sell on ebay etc so its just getting it together and packing it up properly etc. Its going well so far but I keep finding more stuff I'd forgotten about I really hope its busy, the table was only twenty quid but I really hope its a good day. Mum and Dad are having Oliver so I'm going to take a book, so if its quiet I think twenty quid for a day of putting my feet up is pretty good value
good luck with the stall - sounds like fun!
Good luck with your new job!
I hate having bad haircuts, i'd go back and demand they sort it out! I think what you plan for this birth would really depend on how you feel about the whole thing. If the thought of a vbac horrifies you, having to go through labour again etc. then an elective might well be the way to go. If you are feeling that you want to give it another go and that its something your really want and need to acheive for yourself then definately plan a vbac Thats just my thoughts on it. Personally i'm all for birth being as natural as possible, but then i don't know how i'd feel if i'd had a different experience last time. I wouldn't say it was traumatic, but i was certainly shocked in retrospect. I'm not sure i feel like i have a massive amount of control over what happens this time, its going to go how its going to go, if you know what i mean? Sorry if thats not very helpful, just thought i'd share. Sounds great. I'd say you definately deserve an evening off, you always seem to be busy in the evenings 
Roh and i just chilled out. He has his appetite back and seems alot bouncier, which is great but tiring My SIL bought me some knitting needles, wool, and a pattern for a baby blanket for my birthday, so i've started on that during Roh's nap today. I've never knitted before, so its a bit of a learning curve I have a feeling its going to look VERY handmade, but it feels nice to be making something special for the bumpy All my energy goes on Roh at the moment, so i'm not exactly feeling like i'm nurturing this baby very well. I'm having to remind myself to eat and drink water etc. 
xx
the whole thing does looked hacked, like a child cut it! I keep telling myself it will grow and for now I'll wear granny clips 
it really annoying to pay for something you are unhappy with 
Only good thing about them in my opinion is that i don't look as old as i feel!
