A Crazy Few Weeks

Well as you already know the arrival of Little Ted draws ever closer and its been a manic few weeks since my last post on the subject. I thought I was going into Labor for a start with 4 weeks left to go which was pretty scary and got to spend the entire weekend in the hospital turned out it was just an infection that can set off early labour and really bad back ache from trapped wind due to Ted lying funny which was super nice of the little monkey. You can Click Here to read hubbys take on it, well the subsequent week anyway. It was nice having to take it easy though and hubby cut off all my hair so now its a super short bob cut and totally less hot and sweaty which is really good when your as big as a house and the weathers been super warm.
Then we had Dub's birthday which comprised of three days of family visits starting with the mother in law which got me a little angry to say the least after she made me feel completely stupid and I even felt so bad I apologised to her even though I shouldn't have.
The reason being that Richard, my hubby had gone out early morning to get some last minute bits and bobs for Dubs birthday and came home feeling sick so I tried and tried to call M.I.L. on her mobile to ask her to make her own way to our house on the bus.
( She's the only family member that needs picking up from anywhere and I don't know why because I know for a fact she can get here by herself because she managed it a bit ago leaving Hubby waiting for her at the train station not knowing where she was until she turned up at the house.)
Anyway I kept trying to call her and it kept going to voicemail. The train arrival time came and went and it wasnt until FORTY FIVE minutes later that she calls us to ask where Richard is and complains that she doesn't know which bus to get on and that shes just missed one and that she's had to walk to the other end of the station, which I thought she meant to use a payphone I felt so bad I apologised and then Hubby checked the number and she had only rang from her mobile after all. And then later once she had been in the house a while she said that her phone didn't show any missed calls trying to make me out to be a big fat liar when all the while Richard was sat there, and he did see me try to call her a lot so she looked a little silly for that.
After that my sister came to visit on the tuesday and then Grandad and his wife came on the Wednesday, my mum didn't come because she had given Dub his gifts the weekend I was in hospital. Here's hubbys take on it Click Here
And that almost brings us up to date.
Well I had my birthday yesterday and for the second year in a row I had a tooth issue, Yep I got an infection and been in pain since the weekend but at least got some antibiotics from the dentist on Monday and now I can almost eat properly again and the swellings almost gone down on the side of my face, still hurts like hell though but at least I can leave the house without being chased with flaming torches and pitchforks.

Less Than 5 Weeks To Go...

Oh and the last three days have been fab its been cold and rainy and windy and I've not spent the entire day and night sweating my bum off which has been nice.
I am getting a little fed up with people asking how I'm doing all the time especially the ones that only ask so they can feel better about themselves... Although I do have the urge to start skipping along and tell them I feel fantastic just to get on their nerves.
But truth is I feel crap and tired and angry that nothing is getting done because I feel crap and tired. And the odd time when I think I might get chance to do something Ted lies funny to trap a nerve so standing and sitting is not a pleasant experience or G decides to escape her bedroom and tips talc all over our bedroom or paints a lovely mural in lipstick on our wall or if shes feeling really frisky she might decide to wipe poop wherever she sees fit... Which is always fun...
Or like tonight its Dub think its his teeth and he's being super grumpy...
Oh its all good fun....

New Baby and Other Things

So its been a while...

Well most of my time is spent thinking about everything that needs doing and failing miserably in actually getting anything done...

But at least I can blame it on being pregnant...Yep no 3 will be on its way in August and considering I'm now 24/25 weeks gone there's still no letter for a potential scan. I'm dragging my heels in regards to phoning them to book an appointment myself because I really want to know what it will be this time around, then I can get rid of a LOT of baby clothes. (Although my sisters friend thought she was having a girl and now she's had it and named it Albert I think someone got it wrong somewhere there)

Oh it will be fun what with G turning 4 in June and Dub is 2 in July and then the new one in August... My sister joked that only 9 more (one for each month) and we'd have a full set...

We've also been waiting to get an appeal date for G to go to the school we want but not heard anything yet.

I am also trying to get my head round some knitting ideas I've had but not being very good at math its a bit of a nightmare.

I really want to find a flat cap knitting pattern but have no idea where to look.

And I really want to make a hat like this but I really don't want to have to felt it afterwards (because I am so very lazy)

I've been thinking about trying to figure out how to make a sweater I saw in a magazine too. Think I might do it on my huge needles then it won't take too long. Still haven't finished hubby's sweater vest or my jacket but it feels wrong to not have about 100 things on the go at once...

One thing I do wish is that I could find nice patterns that are in double knit wool which I have a giant box full in all shades and sizes instead of fancy types ...Oh well...
