November Due Dates (cont)

[oh_so_blessed]

My DH definitely doesn't see clean/dirty in the same way as I do, and I'm by no means a super-clean type! He's alright at tidying & will happily do the dishes (although sometimes not very well), and he'll 'clear up' stuff, but if I left it to him, it would never truly be *clean*
But I totally get where you're coming from, if my DH made no attempt to clean & help out, particularly if he's at home & not working, I'd be pissed at him. I'm grateful that he tries, even though he's not always successful!
I'd swab the place with cotton wool to show him the dirt that he seems to think is fictional!

lol on the cotton wool!! Now, I'm in no way a neat freak.. He's just a number of steps below me is all. He's not college dorm bad, but it's still bad enough. If it were up to him every table would be piled with papers and junk at all times, overflowing to the floor. The dishes would remain in the sink for 2-3 days each time, and the laundry would never get done. Nevermind dusting. I'm not sure he's ever heard of it! And, he only sweeps if he can see things on the floor. There is a general dirtyness to the floor and it's hard now for me to do the floor because of the bending involved. So frustrating. Maybe he'll be a champ about baby care. One can only hope! If it works out for us, that is. For some reason he sees the end of our relationship as the end of his relationship with his son. I am guessing that'll change quickly once he sees him!

Got my glucola in the fridge right now and it is orange. Got the 1 hour screen next week. Hope I pass and don't have to think about it anymore.

Then maybe my clear stuff is in the minority! How come they had you take it home, if you don't mind my asking?

So I can drink it at home and get to the office in time to get the blood draw. They recommend drinking it cold to make it easier to drink.

I bet that's true. It took me like 5 minutes to get mine down and it was lukewarm.

Thanks springer!
Not to be a downer again today but apparently one of my mum's cats (who I brought up from a kitten) was lost for five days and has since come home blind.. She thinks he had a stroke or something and couldn't find his way home . Apparently he's perfectly happy though now. He is about 12-13 so I guess these things are the be expected.

Ok anyway, as for everything else! I'm good, bump's good, yoga was hard last night Oh and DH is buying me an Ipad today!!!

 

[SpringerS]

One of my dogs is very partially sighted (and missing a front leg) but any vet we've taken him to has told us that it's not really that big a deal for animals as sight isn't as important a sense for them as it is for us. For most dogs scent is their primary sense and for cats I think their sense of touch is much more important than their sight. The cat will be disorientated if the sight loss was a sudden occurrence rather than gradual but she'll adapt really quickly.

 

[Beankeeper]

Oh dear, poor kitty. DH's family dog had a stroke a few weeks back, it's not nice because you can't explain what's happening. She's made a good recovery but has poor coordination in her front paws & is quite weak. Glad he's adjusting as well as can be expected

Yay to iPads! I got a MacBook Pro yesterday with my birthday money, I figured one last thing for me before all the £££ goes to baby!

 

[SarahDiener]

He seems really fine (I haven't seen him, but so mum says). He seems more upset that he's not allowed outside than he is about his sight .
We also have a 3 legged dog, she was born that way from a possibly disformed egg. She's never let it slow her down though, she was the first out of the whelping box, she killed 2 of our chickens (!!) and had two litters of puppies (totally not genetic deformity, she was checked over by specialists and giving the ok on the load etc). And she's the mummy of my boy .


My new changing bag came! I love it!!

I agree, I hate not being able to explain what's happening to them :/

And yay for a pro!!! I have a pro, but it's old and kind of falling apart but I also have an iMac .

Poor kitty.

I am not a big fan of mine at the moment, though, because she woke me up. I fell asleep at 11pm and she decided to be very annoying at 1:30. Of course, her nagging in combination with my messed up sleep pattern and pregnancy hormones/issues equals insomnia. I'm wide awake right now, yet insanely tired. Sigh.

I got a nice toy the other day, too. DH got me an internet radio receiver(I think that's the word for it, or at least a decent description), so I can finally listen to my favourite Minneapolis/St Paul radio station without losing it to bad signal. It can, of course, play anything from anywhere in the world, that's broadcast online. And it's in stereo. Woohoo.

He grabbed us a tablet a few weeks back, too, google nexus, but at this point, for whatever reason, I have barely any interest in it. Okay, it's actually closer to no interest at all. Haha.

 

[Beankeeper]

I have an iMac too, but it's a bit old. I had planned on getting my Pro for my birthday for the last year or so because I'd planned on starting a uni course this year... But that's on hold for now! But I think I'll make good use of it anyway!

 

[SarahDiener]

Yeah mine is for graphic design, but I've done hardly any design work on it . So it's turned into a housewife computer

 

[Beankeeper]

I studied graphics (at college level) but was made redundant a few years ago. Had been doing more illustrative work for a degree course (in illustration), and planned on a teaching post grad after that. But it's on hold for at least a year. We'll see...

 

[Jazavac]

I have a graphic design degree, but high school level. The system we have in Croatia differs a lot from, say, what's here in the US, which so far has actually only been hurting my career in a way. Unfortunately.

Now I'll just get all worked up because I remembered what kind of a useless job I have (for a decent pay, though), especially in relation to my degrees and work experience from another side of the world.

Argh.

 

[Jazavac]

To add to my previous post, I have a masters degree, too, but it's been absolutely useless so far in our little area here. Perhaps we should eventually move somewhere else, where people are more prone to, uh, accepting foreigners, or something.

I'm gonna go try to go back to bed. Work tomorrow and all.

 

[SarahDiener]

Yeah, I wish I could work more, I do a bit of freelance online, but I'm the type of person who would rather have a job than work from home. I just kind of shut off when I'm at home . I do a mix of illustration and computer stuff

good luck on the sleep!

 

[MommaBarry]

Im 30 weeks Only 9 more to go (or 6+5 if she is like my son)

It is 3 am here and I am WIDE awake thanks to a dream that I was on the side of a bridge on busy freeway, in labor on a stretcher, could feel the pain that goes with labor, with no pants on, about to delvier my baby. And Dr Carter (from the old show ER) was there about to catch it as cars sat there and wathced

And now im wide awake and want chocolate

 

[Bookity]

It's 4am. I want to sleep! DD has other ideas. Must be teething. I HATE teething. I want my sleeps thru the night daughter back! I'll be up all night again soon enough.

Sorry. Pity party of one over here.

 

[lillio]

urgh woke up this morning seriously thinking I was on fire, heartburn is KILLING me!! Nothing is helping so I'm off to grumpily walk the dog x

 

[Bookity]

Dr. Carter was always my favorite MommaB! Not sure how I'd feel about Noah Wyle delivering my baby either though. LOL.

 

[whatwillbex]

Check you lot out, what a creative bunch! I did graphic design but only at GCSE level at school. Would have loved to take it further but went down the outdoor recreation route. Doesn't really work when you work in an office!

31 weeks today, whoop! 9 weeks to go la la la la!!!!
