Went to bed about 11:45, rather than our usual of 12:30ish, which should be fine given I don't need to be up until 8:30. However I woke up needing the loo at 5:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. I know I'll be waking up a lot in the middle of the night when the baby arrives, but I won't be pregnant then, and I'll be off work so hopefully I can nap during the day. I might talk to the midwife about it, even when I'mnot pregnant I struggle on six hours.

EC, the start of my pregnancies I would find I would wake up early and that would be me done.

Morning All exciting day today not! Off to work later! x

morning all

Had a great nights sleep didn't move till the alarm went off this morning which is not normal for me always get out at least once in the night for the loo.

Its not nice here it was raining when I came into work

yeah im getting excited now! Keep getting waves of slight nerves tho lol xx

Ive asked OH to do the washing today and check there's everything in for dinner tonight. wonder if any of it will be done when I get home..

Debbie, is it Saturday your Wedding?

The weather is all over the place at the moment. I may stick some bits on the line and the rest on the airer near the open back door. The sun is trying to come out at the moment.

Still in my pjs, but think what is the point in getting changed. May as well wait until after I am done. Need to do the kitchen then I am heading downstairs to do the hall way and the girls bathroom, then upstairs, do my son's bathroom and then our room.

Yeah Emily it's Saturday

Hope the headache goes soon Sarah.

Girls bathroom done, some laundry on the line, some on the airer. Feels like I have just done a workout, now to go upstairs and do the boy's bathroom, then ours. Then I am done!!!

The laundry did not last long on the line, bleached my boy's bathroom and finished off and now showered. Going to have a cuppa and lunch before heading out to grab a few bits of grocery shopping.

Oh no, as he said though at least you and lo are ok, a car is materialistic and can be repaired easy enough. I'm sure he will be just as glad you are ok when he gets home. Good that they both spoke though, maybe that's a step in the right direction.

Got a headache starting and my back aches from all the bending over and pulling furniture out etc.

Leanne, are you feeling better today?

Oh Michelle.... This is not your week is it.. big hugs and im pleased you are ok. The car can be fixed.

Pleased your mum and OH spoke ok but at times like these, families ned too

That's exactly what my mum said Emma. She said let me phone Ant and I said well you won't walk to talk to him. She said at times like this to need to talk to others and put whatever has happened aside. Bless her

OH was more concerned about LO and I being ok. Wasn't bothered about the car. Hopefully it doesn't cost a lot to get a new one

Feeling better today GF, not been sick again but I am so tired and still feel off. Thanks for asking. Hope your headache shifts. x

We're thin on the ground today. Of a team of nine (most part-time) one is not in on a Wednesday anyway and two are on annual leave. Two others are off ill including the boss. Two only work the morning, leaving myself and the senior library assistant to cover the afternoon. One of the people who is ill was supposed to work this evening, so the senior library assistant has agreed to stay late as she owes some time anyway, and she can take a break this afternoon. She's now been in to the office to get paracetemol. I wouldn't want to stay and do the extra hours after what happened on Sunday, but fortunately the assistant librarian has said if Rosanne can't stay to close the library early, as we're just too thin on the ground. The boss will hopefully be in tomorrow, but her husband has been sent home by a GP with suspected mumps so she has to be careful, particularly with me around. Apparently he had mumps as a child and they've both had the MMR so it shouldn't be mumps, just a bad infection, but there's no guarantees and you can't be too careful. If she does come in we'll have to keep hand hygiene very strict and not share anything. When I see the midwife tomorrow lunchtime I'll mention it to her, as I know they check immunity to some things at the 12 week bloods, and I'm not sure if mumps is one of those. I had the MMR in May, but only one jab as I had already had measles and rubella vaccines as a kid. I'm in the generation that didn't routinely get vaccinated against mumps as the MMR hadn't come in, and mumps wasn't prevalent so it wasn't done as a separate vaccine. Hopefully she won't be infected, she has been full of cold but her symptoms are improving. I'm sure she won't take risks if she is in any doubt.

Thanks ladies.

Just hoovered and done the bit of ironing I had. Now having a mug of tomato soup and a slice of bread

LO has got his appetite back. He's eating everything he can get his hands on lol

Shame about the potatoes Emma x

Thank you and me too x

Afternoon all hope everyone is ok!

Sorry to hear about your little bump mmw2b at least everyone is ok :)

Had a busy two days; our flight home was delayed An hour or so on Monday night so we landed in glasgow at 12.45 in the evening an my back was sore but as it was my company car that only me and oh are insured on my mum and dad couldn't help with the driving so I had a 3.5 hour journey home in the fog to contend with - the relief when I made it he safe was immense!

I literally only put the key in the house door at 4.30am and I heard ozzy howling so I said its only me and he came flying down the stairs barking like mad and jumped on the sofa backing away from me thinking I was a burglar but when he realised it was me he mobbed me!

I jumped into bed for all of three hours and did some work from 8am then mum picked me up to go to the hospital to get my first steroid injection in my back at 4 yesterday. I was so nervous ... The consultant told me it wouldn't be half as bad as I was expecting but I'd been telling myself the local anaesthetic needle would only feel like the acupuncture I'd had but how wrong I was! It felt like being stung by a wasp over and over again although I didn't feel the main needle. The female nurse had to hold my hand I was shaking that much and shed a tear :(

After he did it I asked if I could exercise and he said definitely not for a few days then light exercise for a month or two

I then asked if what I had was similar to arthritis and he said no it's just muscle Sprain but at my consultation a few weeks ago he said it was facet joint degeneration so now I'm uber confused. I had it all done privately too so my gp won't have access to my mri's so i don't know what to do he's told me two totally different things. I didn't think muscle sprain would show on an mri and his exact words were the mri shows degeneration in the facet joints of the lumbar spine which should not have happened for another 20 years. I'm baffled.

It was mums birthday yesterday too so straight after my injection we went to pick her dog up from grandads and he went bonkers too lol then went home and had a s@1mbur13s Indian which was super yummy after my day! Mum loved her pressies but had to dash to netball so we came home and had an early night. I struggled to get comfy because my back is tender from the injection but once I fell asleep I slept straight through. Busy busy with work now!

Glad it's all done for you Becci. Local anaesthetic injections do sting, I had three when I had a dog bite in my hand and had to have stitches. The only good thing is that you know they are only a few seconds each, and then the pain will be over. With my hand I started counting down from 100, as I was reasonably confident they'd be done before I got to zero. I think I got to 60.

Lol EC ... I totally shouldn't have talked myself into thinking theyd be like acupuncture but I'm so scared of needles it's the only way I could go through with it.

It wasn't super painful but was uncomfortable you could feel the needle being waggled about to numb the whole area - not sure I'd have another one done given the choice! The pain hasnt stopped yet but some people say it takes 3 weeks for the injection to work and I think my back might have bruised slightly as it feels a bit strange still near where he did the injection. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

I think your local anaethetic probably was more painful than mine because it was an open wound plus you had the added disadvantage of being able to see it.. At least i didn't see any of the needles!

I could never go through with routine injections at school if I ever saw the needle id involuntary jump out of my seat away from the needle so quite often had to be held down so I didn't hurt myself. Yet I was able to get my ears pierced and my belly button?!

I don't get it very odd!!

Possibly!

I didn't have my cervical cancer jab or anything because its 3 jabs you need and the build up to them really stresses me even though they'd be over in a matter of seconds

Sure its not too bad mmw2b, wheel arches tend to replace easily :) what type of car do you have?

Steer clear of T0y0ta main dealers as dealers charge an arm and a leg- you're best off trying eBay or going to a bodyshop :) x
