I realised last night that it was around now on my pregnancy on D that I turned 30th. Just now I worked it out that it was in fact 31w4d which was yesterday. It took such a long time to get to 31w4d on D. This time it seems to have flown by.
I had a [...]

Yesterday I recounted a story to M about a woman going home from the hospital 17 hours after her baby was born & said that if I didn’t bleed on this baby the way I did on D (I lost a litre to a post partum haemorrhage) then I will leave as soon as they [...]
It’s systematic, hydromatic, ultramatic

Well, it is now automatic. The electrician came this morning and fit 3 timers (and put in a socket for my washing machine ) for my motorised valves! I am so excited.
I had decided that I had €1000 running away money (not that I intend to run away and I hadn’t put it [...]
Loose Ends

The electrician didn’t show up yesterday (he was working on his brothers house, blah, blah, blah). By 5.35pm D & I were more than a little stir crazy and good for nothing but a walk helped us out.
I have been sewing by day and knitting at night. Yesterday I cut out 2 peelable bananas, 3 [...]
Beside myself

There is no proper way to describe the excitement I am feeling at the moment. It has nothing to do with babies or pregnancy or D or M. This is about central heating!!
Let me explain. I have gas fired central heating which does a great job of heating water and the house in general. There [...]
The Last Day

Today is the last day of my 20’s. I will be 30w tomorrow which BLOWS MY MIND.
At the start of any pregnancy I set the goalposts at 30w. I am not a “I’ll be fine at 12 weeks” or even “24 weeks is legally viable” person. Give me 30w.
Cosleeping

I am very open about the fact that I cosleep with one of the men in my life and not the other. The one I sleep with doesn’t snore or hog the covers but does manage to spread his 40″ long body all the way across the bed leaving me with maybe 18″ of mattress.
I [...]

On September 11th 2003 M & I went to our second visit with our first initial infertility specialist and had our diagnosis confirmed (M had gotten his SA results on the phone 2 days before). 8 months & 6 days after we started trying to make a baby we were referred for ICSI!
In the intervening [...]
A Great Adventure

D & I went to Dublin on the train on Monday. We sat across from a dinkleman (what D calls gentleman) because it was the first double seat we came to and D sat into it without consulting me. I dread sitting across from people as D is a banger (he will bang [...]
