I was jolted into action today from someone wondering where my posts had got to. It is v unlike me. I had just been busy at work and had friday off- spent it with my friend Alex which was lovely- just chatting and not doing v much at all. We intended to go for a long walk but it was raining v hard so we decided the pub was a better option! She teased me with her large glasses of red wine but it is amazing how nice appletise can taste after a few months of drinking it lots! The rest of hte weekend was spent v much doing stuff on the house- simon at diy and me at ironing etc. And making use of the garden and the sunshine to read hte paper you understand! What is the point of having a garden if you dont use it ! Another antenatal class last night. Still no video of the birth but we did get a plastic pelvis, model baby and knitted placenta! It was fascinating actually. My midwife led the class and has been doing the job since 1966 so very little surprises her. she gave us real down to earth advice- main one being to use raspberry leaf capsules (which i had already bought- but not taking yet, dont worry- after a lady at work recommended them). She was v much of the opinion that epidurals are terrible and that we are all young and healthy enough to bear a bit of 'good' pain and that we should just get on with it! We will see whether i manage without one or not when the time comes! I have the rest of this week and next week before a week off, then two more weeks and another week off then two more weeks then i finish! Hurrah!
