to blog on friday but blogger was down so I couldnt!
well it is all happening. Simon has a new job! We spent the entire weekend (well nearly all of it) preparing a presentation for an (internal) interview he had this morning. They virtually offered him the job on the spot! It is a promotion and should mean less hours so more money for less work cant be a bad thing! And with the timing of the arrival of baby it is all top news. He was so worried and worked himself into a ridiculous state about it but he is clearly the best man for the job. I am delighted for him and very proud!
We went to our first NCT class on saturday. I was a bit nervous as I had put a lot of emphasis on joining for meeting local friends with new babies as a support network post July. All the people are lovely! And one couple is moving into our close in 2 weeks' time! Very friendly and down to earth people and I am very relieved. The class itself was actually quite helpful too- not least in telling Simon why I think the birthing thing has become over-medicalised in the fullness of time in the West - helped him understand where I was coming from a bit. We have another class at the weekend which I am looking forward to now. Not sure if I am going to admit to my plan to put baby into its own room from day 1 though as I dont want to be lambasted for having a controversial view! (And no it isnt driven by Gina Ford but my only thoughts and conclusions btw!)
