Ladies who lunch!

I am now a lady who lunches! I am having my hair cut this morning then going to Jane's for lunch. Then maybe a nap later, then out with Claire this evening. Ooh the social whirl!
My Dyson eventually arrived yesterday at about 3pm. Was quite impressed, apart from the weight of it, but at least I have a man around to help me. They have their uses! I also visited a new friend from Yoga, Anita and her new baby Oliver who was gorgeous! I came back smelling of baby after our cuddle, which I love!

Power naps!

There's a lot to be said for power napping! Although it helps if you have something to wake you up again! I had a 1.5hrs on monday afternoon then the phone rang to wake me up luckily! The same happened yesterday. Perhaps i should set the timer!
 Well my lemon cake was very successful. And I think I've got all the baby stuff now apart from a monitor. The breastfeeding workshop was quite amusing, what with the knitted boobs and the dummy breasts with real milk! But the woman teaching it hadn't even had children before which I though was a bit strange. The basic message seemed to be to have a go then go to see them if you have problems. A bit vague! But at least I have quite a few friends and family I can ask if it gets tricky. The clever bit was watching a newborn baby crawl up its mums chest to get to her breasts by itself! Hope mine does that!
And my tens machine turned up! V. amusing to play with!

37 weeks.

Get this! Its 7.30am on the first day of my maternity leave and I've had my breakfast already! Well there is no point in getting used to lie-in's at this point in time is there! My plan today is to make a lemon drizzle cake, take a walk into town, pop to mothercare & blooming marvellouse for a few essentials and call up some of my friends who don't work. And maybe an afternoon nap if I can fit it in!! Perhaps I'm trying to do to much! We'll see!...
The rest of my week is also pretty busy. Breastfeeding workshop tomorrow, antenatal class wednesday, meeting up with friends, waiting in for my new hoover on thursday, and having my hair cut on friday! With a bit of tidying the house in between! Busy busy!
