The state of the bump

[ailbhe]

It looks like all those contractions were to move things around; the bump has moved. There's more of it low down inside my pelvis now, so it's smaller, lower, and more comfortable. My clothes are fitting better than they did three days ago, which is a huge relief. We got some photos today which I will upload later somewhere.

Also, the contractions are less vicious now, and less... wavey, more Braxton-Hicksy.

So last night I slept all night, woke up and had a drink of water, some orange juice, some breakfast cereal, and some tea, and after Emer had finished cuddling me and I'd finished eating, I went back to sleep until after 11 am. Then I had a bath. I feel considerably better.

We need to get a bunch of stuff out of the attic for the baby, and have a serious cleanup upstairs.

Rob has been very energetic and cheerful. The new job suits him brilliantly. This morning he finally did some DIY that has been waiting for months and months - shelves in the front room - and also repaired last week's trike puncture, sorted out the gears on the trike, and ran some errands.

And Taimatsu came over and we weighed towels and sorted them for dying; the first load is in the washing machine right now. I hope they come out ok. There's no reason why they shouldn't, of course. Then we'll have a whole set of matching family household everyday towels, enough for everything we need, I hope. I would really, really like that.

Now Rob is coming back from Argos with a deep bookcase for the children's room and hopefully a saddle-cover for the trike for him.

I'm really glad things are going well for you. When's the baby due?
