Breast foot forward!

The funniest thing happened yesterday, well I thought so anyway! We had our last NCT class & it was all about breastfeeding. A wonderful subject & one that we had barely touched on in any other class. The lady running this session is a breastfeeding councellor for NCT & also based at the hospital where I'll be having our babies. Anyway.. I'm waffling.. the bit that really made me laugh was that this lady had no breasts what so ever. I could barely look at her without wanting to crack up laughing. It's something that just really.. really made me laugh & I have to admit made it really hard to concentrate on anything she was saying. I won't go on to mention the different colour pen fetish the lovely lady had as that'll just make me laugh even more!!!

The best news is that even though it was our last session we'll be meeting up again tomorrow at one of the groups houses for a spot of lunch & chat. I'm really looking forward to it, sometimes it gets quite difficult living over here with most of my friends & family a good 45 min drive away. I know it's not far really but it can often feel like a lifetime away.. you'd think after 7 years I'd be used to it but I guess when things are getting tough (like having 2 babies) that these things play on my mind alot more.

You know I didn't realise the time, no wonder the babies are moving lots.... they're hungry!! I've been too busy on here most of the morning & looking out for the DHL van that is supposed to be delivering the Beatrix Potter Collection 1-23 books for the babies room :-)

How time has flown!

It's now May.. can you believe it? When I think about how long this pregnancy appears to be taking (yes I am aware that it's around 9 months) & how slow it seems to be passing us by & then weigh it up next to the fact that it's now May 2008.... take a moment to think about it!!! The last 8 months seem to have taken years to go by & yet the first 4 months of the year has flown by at such a rapid pace that next month we're half way through the year.... I'm finding this quite bizarre!

This morning was another all morning session of NCT, it was quite refreashing to be around ladies who are at the same stage of pg as me & have some kind of understanding as to how I'm feeling & whats happening & probably more to the point, the insecurities of being a first time mummy. I'm hoping that we'll all continue to meet up regularly. Plans have been put in place for this but of course you never really know how long that will last..... my own personal opinion... long may it continue.

Oh finally I have a stitching update... hooraahhh. Can't actually post an image yet as it's not finished completely & is also a gift for someone but I have just one small part of the finishing process to complete. I did realise after a short while that I hadn't stitched name & date on & although it will probably bug the heck out of me for all of eternity I had already used some iron on interfacing on it & was not really in the mood afterwards to detach the interfacing & stitch some more, my work was done for the day. Gimme another week & it may be finished completely!

As I'm not posting a picture of my stitching for today & I have decided that I really do like an image to accompany my posts I thought I'd add a picture of Mohair that I took last night. Cats are (according to a pub quiz machine) not one of the animals on the planet that can sleep on their back... erm... hello... I beg to differ with you there!!!!

A Busy Friday!

Well it has been quite busy today. I was off out early (well it seemed early) to NCT class, very enjoyable, we have a lovely group of ladies at class & the best thing is that everyone is at similar stages of pregnancy, quite literally within a few weeks of each other & we are all fairly local so hopefully it'll be great to keep in touch.

After getting home I find out that Greg has inflated my lovely lilac Birth Ball..... oh what a joy to sit on, please someone tell me why I didn't get one sooner???

I've had new DVD's delivered.. yay.. thank god for that, daytime tv is such a drag & as much as I have the enthusiasm for getting on with so many different things or even getting some much missed stitching done... it doesn't really pan out that way!!

Also... being Friday... our new car should be ordered today... even bigger YAY. Although we know it won't actually be here until probably end of June, maybe even into July we know it is ordered & to be honest having to deal with two newborns will be challenge enough to keep us housebound for a bit while we work out what to do with the little darlings :-) In saying that, I'll probably be climbing the walls & desperate to get out the house with them but we have no way of knowing until they are actually here so I guess we'll have to just wait & see.

Oh... tell you sometime of interest (maybe), I have been on Warcraft 3 times since last Saturday, now this is an achievement, especially as that probably works out more times than in the last 5 months, long may it continue!

Not sure but did I share the pushchair with you, if not here is a picture of it, it's a brand new shade & to quote John Lewis "not available to order until end of April".... well would you look at that, I've had mine for over a week now... doesn't it look lovely?
