    Afternoon all.

    Not got on this morning. Work was ok last night but at one point I did get so nauseous I thought I would vomit. When I took someone down to labour ward I was chatting with the other mw about it and she said when she popped down to the ward she thought it was strange as I looked white as a sheet, it passed enough to carry on with the shift though.

    Came home, had a slice of toast and went to bed, only just got up, bit later than k would usually like but thought sod it.

    Mrs Wade 2 Be, it depends on the library. Most public libraries will have a children's section, but I don't know at what age your LO could join in his own right. I know I used to borrow books when I was small, but I can only remember back to about 4 years old. If your local library won't let your LO join in his own right yet, you could join and borrow books for him. You'll need to visit your nearest library, or try looking online, there may well be a website where you can apply to join or at least find out what the criteria is to join.

    The library where I work is totally different, as it is in a higher education music and drama college, so it is only open to students and staff of the college, and a small number of fee paying external borrowers, but they are all adults. The only younger borrowers we have are attending the junior music or drama courses which are for talented school age children, but I think we only let them join when they get to GCSE age.

    My birthday present for hubby has arrived. It's been delivered to a neighbour which I'm really glad about, as I was anticipating it would be left at the sorting office. I wouldn't have been able to pick it up until Friday morning which is his birthday. This way I can have it ready to give him in the morning before he goes to work. Plus I'm waiting in for a delivery on Friday and we have no idea what time it's coming, so I might not have been able to collect the present even then. Now I just have to remember to get him a card.

    Mrs mw, if I remember rightly, when mine were little, they had their own cards but it was done through me, not sure if it still works that way or whether each one is different,

    I feel slightly better, needed to stay in bed that long, just hope I've not messed up my sleep for Tonight now.

    Just out a laundry load on and stuck the bins out ready for the morning,

    Got body pump tomorrow morning again.

    Just thought it would be a nice thing to do and he has the responsibility of taking something back etc. I'll look in to it

    I've got my friend coming round tomorrow to give me Hollyw00d lashes. Want to try them for the wedding instead of wearing mascara. Hopefully they look good. (Should do for £30!)

    Got the plumber coming between 10-12 to put some stuff in the rads to flush them through then he's coming back sat to renew 12 rad valves. It's OH mate so hopefully all good

    Sounds lovely Em. Shame about LO

    My LO keeps coughing and heaving like he's going to be sick. Gave him some medicine and seems ok now. He couldn't get his breath at one point.

    LO wanted to go in 'big bed' as he calls it with OH so I've come in to the spare bed. OH can keep a listen out for him then instead of him being in his own room

    Michelle if you're having to work that hard it's not surprising that your blood pressure might be high. I know it's so annoying when they tell you what you already know about your weight. If they must say that then at least say something constructive about how you can do it, especially given that it sounds like you have a busy life so exercise might be difficult to fit in.

    Hubby and I just went to our first ante-natal class. It was really good, and it seems to be a nice group of people. We talked about the stages of labour and how to identify each one. We spent a bit more time on recognising early labour, as that's the one that people are most unsure about. We also talked briefly about options for where to give birth, although in Cardiff there isn't much choice. It's home, hospital midwife-led unit, or hospital consultant led unit. There's only one hospital that does births. We also talked about coping with early labour, and practiced some simple massage. Apparently next week we'll talk about what we want to get from the class, as they try to tailor it to what we want. I'm hoping we can look more at breathing techniques, pain relief, and when things don't go according to plan.

    Morning ladies, had a crazy morning. My boss' laptop has died again and he has got quite a bit to do today so I've been roped into helping him, sending out loads of emails to people on his behalf, etc.

    Going for lunch at 1 with my mum.. she's got some gossip to tell me re. the dating scene which I am intrigued about. She emailed me yesterday asking if she could keep her plus 1 for the wedding, and that she has a potential plus 2 (not that she would bring 2) lol... That was certainly quick work!!

    Glad it's almost Friday.

    I was thinking this morning about why I felt so fought the others day. I think where we have dropped the carbs so quickly, my blood sugar has also decided to take a running jump as well, I run on a healthy one and on the lower side of normal, whereas hubby runs on a slightly higher side of normal so his body can cope better.

    Got some boring laundry to do, done the housework this morning before I went to body pump though so not got that to do.

    Emm you want to maintain your weight now so it wouldn't be healthy to eat your weight loss diet anymore anyway.

    When I was at the DRs they weighed me. I asked if it had changed and in 12 months I've lost 1kg so practically nothing. So happy with that after my weight loss over Christmas :)

    Just had a packet of rice for my lunch. Nothing special but it fills a hole.

    Oh yeah - there is basically three in the mix now lol.

    One is someone she was going to meet up with the last time her and her boyfriend split up, but it never happened as they got back together before the date was arranged. The second person is an old flame who she has known for about 30 years - she's always had feelings for him, she's not wanting to get back with him at all but would like it if he would accompany her to the wedding if she didn't have any one else. She's also said the ex has been in touch... saying he's so sorry, he's made a mistake, bla bla bla... she's staying strong at the moment but I have a bad bad feeling she's going to give him his 10000000th chance. *sigh*

    He has had way more than 3 chances already. She asked me if I would stand by her if she took him back... I said why would you take him back?!?! I would of course stand by her through whatever but I couldn't pretend to like him, I think he is an absolute waste of space and doesn't deserve my mum at all. Will be fuming if he manages to wrap her round his little finger again.

    Eyelashes look fab Michelle!!

    I've been into town to pick up a breast feeding kit. It's a pretty good deal, with a manual pump (the electric ones are ridiculously expensive) and breast pads, bottles and storage containers. I'm hoping I won't have to use expressing and bottle feeding that much as breast is so much more convenient, but it will mean I can leave the baby with other people and they can feed him.

    Blimey Mrs mw, they are huge, like a sun visor. I had huge ones one year at the festival when I dressed up as a lady bug, the fairy stall had lady bug lashes.

    Rugby was called off, took my daughter to look after freddie, stayed for a bit and then came home and started doing dinner. Tonight myself and hubby are having the j wicks cottage pie. Kinda glad it was called off, that way I don't have to rush about before work.
