The man thing and I are going to be busy busy busy today. We have a little catering job so A) The man thing can earn some work experience which will be awesome for his course and B) to earn a little something to go towards looming bills!!
I kind of got dragged into it (not unwillingly I must add) because the other person who was scheduled to do the work with my man thing ended up incommunicado so I was volunteered. Yippee!
Something to keep me busy. Something productive to do, even if it is mostly just washing dishes lol.
The SIL is coming around today as well and will be staying a few days until we take her down the line to FILs.
We have a TON of housework to catch up on *Blush* but that will just have to wait until most probably tomorrow when I drag myself out of bed.
Busy busy busy!!

Oh the Excitement
Seems that I'm destined to have an exciting pregnancy. Over the weekend I was back up the hospital again for pains and finding MORE of the stitch work, and I had a couple of symptoms of a urinary tract infection so I wanted to get it checked out.
Turned out that I DON'T have a urinary tract infection, the ache in my back is most likely just from bubs pressing on one of the ribs round the front and where the pain is round the back is where the stress is being transferred to so it's aching.
Good news about the stitch work though is there's more than one loop of it holding my cervix closed so what's fallen out so far isn't panic-worthy. Sure, it's a little concerning that it's falling out at all but at this point there's nothing they can do about it.
This morning I got to visit the lovely Dildo-cam again and had my cervical length checked. At the scan 3 weeks ago it was 27mm long but today it's only 20mm long. That's still a pretty decent length of cervix but the concern is in the fact that it is still shortening. Bubs is persistently breech at the moment and seems in no hurry to move. So anyway the OB and I had a little bit of a chat and everything and we made some decisions about what to do. I'm having steroid injections to help mature baby's lungs faster just in case he does decide to make his grand entrance in the near future, I have to go back to the hospital to get jabbed in the bum again tomorrow lol. The injection stings!!
And also I'm going to pack an emergency bag that we can just pick up and run out the door with so I don't have to be fluffing around with finding clothes and so the man thing doesn't have to worry about trying to find me something that I will actually wear. Knowing him he'll just grab a handful of shirts and a pair of pants and none of it will fit me lol. Either that or it will all be too heavy for the weather at the moment and I'll end up overheating. Best to make sure it's all packed by me, the right way *Wink*
I hope everyone else had a good Christmas and it was a lot less drama filled than mine.

Christmas and Birthdays
Well we don't really do Christmas as such, it's more just a family feast with the odd gift occasionally thrown in. This year my nana is giving us a meat pack (yum yum) and she's also giving the man thing a weed eater (line trimmer) so he can cut our lawn (or the pitiful excuse we have for one anyway lol)
I'll tell all about the food tomorrow but suffice to say YUM!
The man thing has some jewellery to give me (I helped him pick it out so I KNOW I'm going to like it lol) and I was hoping that my mum would have enough money to get me a hair dryer (I've taken over her bank accounts at her request and I know exactly how much money she doesn't have) but that can wait until my birthday.
18 days until my birthday and I'll be entering my second decade. Goodie goodie.
I found my first 3 stretchmarks today. They're not massive but they're definitely there. To be completely honest, I don't give a rats ass about them lol. I knew it was highly likely to happen seeing as I'm pretty prone to stretchmarks and I think the OI has a bit to do with that. The lack of collagen I'd say.
Fingers crossed my stretchmarks don't make it to the tattoo that I have on my right side. I'd hate to see that ruined.

Heat: Part 2
So I now know why it was so freaking hot today. The temperature got up to 45 degrees (113f)
Talk about OUCH!!
The only way I managed to cope was iceblocks and sitting in my paddling pool up to my chest in lovely cold water.
It's cooling down a lot now, as in it's in the 20s rather than the 30s or 40s (I pant thinking about it!) but this is definately going to be one hell of a hot summer. I break out in a sweat just thinking about it!

It is so gosh damn hot. I feel like I'm going to melt into a puddle of sticky clothes. Wearing as little as possible and it's still too much. I'm about to jump in my freezing cold paddling pool to cool off for a while. Mmmm... coldness.
