The Old Lady

Mum's birthday

today. We are off to see if I can manage to go anywhere at all! I tried to go for a walk yesterday with my mum-in-law but the tops of my legs are so painful now with carrying all this weight around we didnt make anything like the length of walk I had planned. Bum. So today we are off to a National Trust place to sit and admire nice views and have a civilised lunch. I think. Let's see how I feel eh?!

Just followed both my midwife and yoga teacher's recommendations to scrub the kitchen floor on hands and knees to bring on labour. No obvious contractions yet but at least we have a clean floor! But I am knackered now!

Have FINALLY got hold of the book 'so that's what they are for' after ordering it from both the library and amazon in May! It is excellent so thanks for the recommendation. As it turned out I have plenty of time to read it- and am getting through it at a rate of knots anyway... thoroughly recommended although it does make me even more convinced tghat i simply must breastfeed (some people call me dogmatic on this issue before i even read the book!) even though i havent even met my baby yet!
