I am getting to the uncomfortable stages

[callistra]

I was brooding yesterday because vinnie seems to be unwell. Not a lot unwell, just a little bit unwell. I was brooding because I am tired and exhausted and I resented the fact that my DayCareDay was going to be spent trucking him around to the drs *again* and going to the drs is such a hassle now. I can't chase him and keep him in place and away from the areas he is not supposed to be in, and I have to have a baby sitter to run vinnie around while I sit and watch, and it kind of makes me a little miserable.

But Chesh soothed me and it's all ok. Today was horribly disturbed and broken and involved a lot of driving to and from places, but Vinnie is well enough to go to daycare, so we just put him in there and picked him up for the appointment. We then needed to get a urine sample, and take it back to Armadale. I discovered I can drive Vinnie to daycare, drop him off, drive to Armadale, drop off the urine sample and spend a few minutes chatting with the pathology lady, and then get home, within 40 minutes. I'm impressed with that!

I feel distinctly uncomfortable. My tummy muscles are thinking about just giving up RIGHT NOW. :-) My uterus feels like it wants to fall out. I am now 30 weeks. I am firmly into the third trimester, with about 67? 68? days to due date. I am wondering how I can do prep in the morning so I don't have to get up every 30 minutes to feed vinnie or give him a drink or pay more attention to him or answer the phone or ....

For those who need to know, Grocery Zone is a magickal place. It's good. I am in love. It's a pity the butcher who delivers failed me. I really could have used them. But I have other plans now.

Thinking a high tea for a baby shower might be fun. If my garden is clean and neat by October! It's rushing up awfully fast!

I am happy to help on weds if i am free. You know driving and stuff. Besides it would be a pretty good excuse to catch up :)

Cool! Come on over!
I shall show you how to change a nappy.
:-)
And then you can run around with vinnie for a while. He'd love that actually.

I will change a nappy only if you take a photo of me doing it wearing a gasmask and thick rubber gloves.
Yeah running around with Vinnie does sound like a lot of fun.

It's OK, I will protect you from the pooey ones. Actually, I expect Chesh will protect *us* from the pooey ones. Vinnie usually has his poo early in the morning. :-)

*hugs* I would offer to give a hand or something but I only have weekends available , although I'm more than overdue to drop in and see you guys anyway .

Did I give you back that birthday cakes book?

No, you didn't, and I have been meaning to ask...
:-)
It would be good to catch up, and you can show me pictures of worldcon.

we can deliver but only if you take 1/8th of a cow at a time. And it was a big sucker too, $305 per portion and a hell of a lot of meat!. Or maybe you can split a 1/8th portion with someone.

BTW we're still alive, but only barely.

Goodness gracious me. Alive is good, barely is not so good. We are stacking a small collection of your things by the front door.
Once again we have found the pasta maker instructions. :-)

Thanks for the offer of cow - and that does sound like a big bugger! But we're waiting until the roof is done before I start stocking the freezer, and I am thinking of just buying a leonards pack and a decent butchers pack. But will summer coming on and BBQ season stretching ahead, I might have to reconsider that....

Missing you both. Stay alive!
