Decided to go out somewhere today with the woof and give her a decent run around, preferably by a beach so she could run into the water if she wanted to. Ended up spending nearly all day in the car looking for somewhere suitable and not finding it. Had a nice lunch at a fish 'n chip place and then managed to finally find a lane to walk the dog down in some woods, so that was nice, but boy does my back hurt after all that sitting in the car! I did enjoy the walking, however, must do more of that. I have this silly theory that I might be able to go into labour if I do alot, perhaps one or two days before the c/s due date, then I can have him naturally. Yeah right!
It's a long weekend - Victoria Day or some such nonsense. Quite why they celebrate her here when the Brits don't even, I don't know, but it's a day off on Monday. The weather, however, is gloomy and rainy and I think I just saw some lightning outside too.
We finally had the xbox (cough) chipped (cough), and there's a very funky media centre front end to it which allows you to play all those movies and tv shows you've (cough) aquired (cough) so I'm currently (cough) getting (cough) a whole bunch and hopefully should have something good to watch tonight :)
I'm also hoping that G's mood will improve. The sugars are making him really arsey and he is taking it out on both me & D, which is not fun. Today I threatened to leave him at home if he didn't cheer up, which seemed to work :)
<voice from the other side>Just remember its scary and horrible from his side too... I have days when I am the most humungous pain in the arse, its not because I want to be (usually) and when things go wrong its as bizarre and scary for me as it is for those around me. Carolyne does remarkably well... it scares me sometimes.
I know its hard for you and D, it must be very scary for you both seeing him struggle like this... keep loving him and giving him all your support and he'll be there when you need him to be.
and remember you have my number.</voice from the other side>
Posted by: Aka at May 23, 2004 06:37 PMYeah I know it's scary and horrible .... I am sympathetic combined with being *ultra* stressed. I'm stressed with pregnancy, stressed about all the health implications that come with it, the baby's health, G's health, I guess health in general! And arsey moods on top of mega stress = *ultra* stress :) I understand them and I'm being as calm and nice as possible, but then I'm going off and freaking out quietly alone somewhere!
