Ouch

I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my calf. I jumped out of bed and hobbled around until it eased a little, but it's been aching ever since. It's not swollen, red, nor hot to the touch. I want to think it's cramp, but the only other time I've ever had this before in my life was when I was pregnant with D and we think it might've been a DVT. I'm a bit scared. I have to go for a scan on Monday and then to the High Risk clinic so if it is still sore I will speak to them about it :(

Last nights BBQ was fantastic. The food was *amazing*. We had a good time and everyone pitched in with the cooking and it was very funny.

The new furniture arrived today for the nursery & Dylans room. They are gorgeous, the only problem is the wardrobe for nursery has only recently been stained and the smell is very strong. I've opened the window in there and put the ceiling fan on , so I am hoping that the smell will dissipate soon.

Oh - and I found this website explaining the differences in car seat safety laws between different countries http://pages.ivillage.com/momika/carseatphotos/id8.html

Jeez.... I think that it has ll been summed up in the last line... "Use a US approved seat in the US, a Canadian approved seat in Canada, an ECE approved seat in Europe,....."

It seems daft of us normal people, but then who are we to say that one is better than the other, and that one countrys car seats are the same as anothers.

I guess, you need to get a Canadian seat (by-lingual) with special consideration for holidays in the US. But, then you are buggered if you then move there and have to buy a whole new set, which would bring you up to, what 5/6 seats or more for 2 kids, 3/4 of which you can not use! Oh, and flying here for a holiday would be the...... english, american or canadian one?
I give up, I am getting a headache! (and staying in Europe!)
