I failed!!!!

Well, after a small reminder from Rob, I realised that I have failed in my mission to keep my blog up to date. But here's the good news - I've now gone part time at work, so inbetween preparing for baby, I might stand a cat in hell's chance of actually keeping this blog up to date!

The news for this week...

Was my Mum's birthday yesterday, she's been a bit down lately so I decided to put a pamper kit together for her, and took her to lunch in Cadnam. I think it cheered her up a bit. When we got back I persuaded Dad to take me down to the butchers while Mum was out, so that we could get some (very expensive!) steak, which was Mum's choice of birthday dinner. Unfortunately while we were trying to cook it I got some really strong Braxton Hicks contractions and had to dissapear to the loo, I swear they thought I'd gone into labor!!!!

Anyway, today I am relaxing! I did far too much over the weekend and didnt realise until it was too late! On Sunday I went to my new church (Thornhill Baptist Church) which was great. I;ve only been 4 times so far, but I keep making new friends and meeting new people EVERY week - they are so friendly! All the other churches I've been to recently have been big, charismatic type churches, and you get a 'Hello' on the door but thats about it... people are far too caught up with the friends they have already made to bother about the new people. Its sad, but true. Anyway, met a lovely lady called Chris who works for the police, and an bloke called Ron who has connections with Millbrook Baptist church (Now Freemantle Baptist) which is where we used to go to church when I was little. I got so caught up in talking to them that it was only when they started turning out the hall lights that I realised I had been there an hour after the service had finished, and still hadnt had any lunch!!!

Anyway, went to M&S that lunch time to treat myself to a nice pasta salad and some chocolate covered raisins (they are really good at boosting your iron levels so the midwife tells me - I dont need telling to eat chocolate twice!) but started to feel really ill. Sat in the carpark for a bit and worked up the energy to do some shopping in Sainsburys (no point in going to Burselden Tesco on a Sunday because the traffick to the market blocks the roads - not fun!) But had to stop half way round and pay for what I had because I felt like I was about to faint! Also not fun!

Then I went to see Granny and Grandad which was nice, had a cuppa and helped Grandad with his computer - I'm so impressed with him, there arent many nearly-eighty year olds who are willing to dable with digital camera's and PC's! And then went to pick Gareth up from the red jet. (He'd been shooting on the island). Problem was the sea was so choppy that by the time we got home I felt exhausted and dizzy, and he was still suffering from sea sickness!! We sat there for an hour before I finally managed to coax him into making dinner!!!

Anyway, thats quite enough for now - must remeber to update more often so that my posts arent so long!!! I'm off to wash and dry baby clothes, see you later!!
