A watched pot never boils

Yes this is me about one month ago ( at 46 inches) around the waist or what once was my waist. Shamu is in the building and his blow hole is getting smaller or bigger whatever way you want to look at it. The hole is stretched but as Renae puts it the turkey timer has not went ding... ( my navel has not popped out lol) As you can probably detect in my tone lol I am a not so happy puppy at the moment. Weeing ever 15 or so minutes and puking every day and we won't even mention what my other end is doing. Out of sight and out of mind for that part ...for the moment. Pubic bone has seperated again and I now walk like a bloody snail through a cabbage patch. When is this child going to pop out to say hi. I am getting braxton hicks like they are going out of fashion and every time they get to 6 mins apart they stop. ARGHHHHHH. Went to the hospital on friday and they did a sweep and stretch, not the most fun I have ever had I must say but it did the trick and got things down there to 2 cm LOL LOL LOL. Have had enough and would gladly give birth now but this wee one is patient either that or has a big head . On a brighter note Joe and the girl are in the garden playing spotlight, (it's dark they have torches need i say more) and all I can hear is giggling mostly from joe. Jonah is sitting in his high chair eating his 2nd tub of yoghurt and watching Stuart Little. So the house is silent except for my terrible typing and my belly rumbling. Dinner is done and so am I for in another hour or so I will be in bed for the night, shifting from one painful position to the next till I drop off to sleep. Any hoo , Joe did something sweet and got me a cd player in the car ( no more barney tapes) the guy came over to our house today and fitted Joe's and mine. We listen to a lot of self help cds etc so this way I can get a break from Deepak Chopra which as the only one we had on tape lol, and a bit of Dido too. Well this white flag is going up for the night I wish you all well, now PRAY I POP PLEASE.

Barney's Number 1 Fan

Hi Guys, this is just a quick post to catch you all up. I took Jonah to a Barney concert at the end of May and he just loved it. He was cool as a cucumber untill the purple feet hit the stage then the hyper drive shot into place. He ran in and around all the other kids (around 100) and kept coming back to me and yelling look mama its Barney. He was in seventh heaven. It was one of the best ever memory making days that I will ever have shared with my son. He danced from start to finish and then I took him out for lunch in the RSL it was held at and guess what ,my little guy that loves food of any kind fell asleep eating. He was exhausted. All of these mums came up to me at the end asking how he had gotten so confident for their kids were clinging onto them lol. He told everyone for days afterwards that he had been to Barneys house lol. Needless to say I had to buy him the t shirt to remember it by, but being a true scot I bought an age 6 lol for the amount it cost it had better last lol. Any way it was an awesome day for him and well worth the money.
