busy!

been away but have been busy, had an awful holiday in a tiny caravan with 2 toddlers with the squits :(..anyway all was made good by..on the 12th of april dh and ben both felt luke move from the outside for the first time, on the 18th my birthday i was in the bath and saw the bump move for the first time. I have now started to get some heart burn and getting uncomfortable. We had the 20 week scan and all issues with his heart are now corrected, but they recon hes measuring on the big side, im not sure if its a dating issue, or if they have over measured or if hes just measuring big at that time..who knows at least hes healthy and happy..we had our first bout of hickups last night too, seems a lot of firsts going on in the last 2 weeks! The last 2 weeks have gone very slowely maybe because the children are off , so theres no school/nursery runs to keep me distracted, i have been busy doing lots of decluttering, and diy..im hoping to get the frount path tiled today after being unfinished for almost 10 years! 

Beautiful weather here managed to wash loads of stuff too 

Next appointment is in 3 weeks for a midwife check up .

Motivation again and cuteness

Something is definatly happening re my hormones ..woke up this am with incredibly itchy nipples..and i cant stop wanting to clean. Tile magic didnt work on my kitchen tiles so have decided to get some cheap lino from ebay and ask mum to fit it..it should make it look a lot cleaner and tidyer..no more mismatched cracked tiles..i wouldnt recommend ceramic floor tiles too anyone.  So today patch some more plaster in the loo..dust the top shelf in the bathroom seeing as the ladders still up there, start sanding my rocking chair parhaps? see if theres any wood dye to re dye the living room floor where its faded. That should do . Not too much housework to do today. Keon has taken to "watering my belly so the baby can grow like a flower" when we are in the bath together..its very cute. And ben got so excited last night when i told him the baby was halfway here. Bless him he keeps saying i love your baby mummy..i have to correct him and say no ben..the babys all of ours. My brother paul is still insisting its a girl ..even though ive told him its a boy ..hes still insiting lol. Just 5 more days then our next scan at 20 weeks god i hope all is well 7 week is a long time to worry about matters of his heart x

tired and board

So my excitement for yesterday was

paint the snow damaged patch of ceiling ..Done

black the fire in the bathroom Done

fill and paint the tiny section of fallen plaster from the bathroom ceiling where its fallen off a rawlplug i guess DONE

ive also dug out the old distemper from the bubbles that keep appering in the down stairs loo, today ill pva and fill it , i couldnt get any tiles to match my kitchen ones so im going to fill the cracks , sand and try this new tile paint..i have a feeling it wont work though..hey ho just as long as it makes my floor look nicer and cleaner. i went for a long walk into about 40 mins with both boys keon was in the buggy. Then we went and had a kfc , i had the godfather meal was yummy however im not sure if its connected but i had a very runny tummy four times during the night and in quite a bit pain..things like that allways make me wonder if the babys picked it up :(. Anyway typing what i have done has motivated me a little..hoping to get the downstairs loo painted this weekend..fingers crossed!

OOOh for fiddley flower petels

Not having a fabby day today really kids started trying to kill each other as soon as they got up ..keon has moaned no stop..But i shouldn't moan. Something horrid has happened to a fellow dia ladys baby. Its awful and tragic, and now she has to explain it too her little one. Life is horrid sometimes , and i do feel so grateful for my  i children. Going to pick up my moses basket in a second..sorted out some baby bits aww i even found a chalky bear baby grow that i kept from the boys , so i think this will be lukes first outfit . Had a bit of a sort out ..one black sack for a fellow dim08 s youngest baby ..and half a sack for charity. im defintaly nesting but im trying to stop myself..what is the point of pulling out the cupboard to scrub behind it when ill want to do it again closer to the time say in about 17 weeks..(gah scary again!) 

not much to say.

Been one of those blissful uneventful days .a.glororious sunshine..both the boys wonderfully behaved ive aboutlovely day doing a bit of crochet, watching waking the dead (keons at nursery) and talking to internet friends. Even managed to change the beds and wash all the bed sheets. Tommorrows meant to be grotty weather wise..i hope not good weather allways improves my mood. Ive looked into aqua natal classes..they start monday..eeek now its at 7.30 and the boys are in bed at 8..so this means dave will drop me off and ill have to get a bus and walk home which isnt too far. Time for me and bump will be lovely x Just started to get a bit belchy and heartburny in the last 2 days..hope its just a glitch lol..Also so far no spd..yay..had it at 17 weeks with ds2 ..so im doing well.

Yawn...

I think in fact i know ive now got to the stage where walking is getting tiring..went out from 10.30-5 yesterday came back and had to go to bed at 9.15..slept right round to 7.30 but still feel shattered..need to catch up on housework as dh and i are both lax at the weekend just do the basics so we can do family things. My skin seems to be improving greatly i noticed my back hasnt got anymore spots and they are now healing ditto my face..i keep getting about 3-4 spots and it makes me feel unattractive..so yay. Depression has definatly all gone ..yay for that! Will be pleased to tell the midwife that i definatly do not need additional help :D. Told dh id like a water birth he was really interested and thought of the best place to set up the pool..i think he just wants to play lol. So have been looking on ebay but i keep getting outbid..ooh well still 20 weeks to look.  Weighed myself this am i think im going to do this every monday..10 stone 2lb thats 10lbs on..gulp..ive checked its just under the higher level line..thats cool its within a normal range. With ben i put on 2 stone but i weighed 10stone 4lb before i feel , with keon i put on 3 stone but was 8stone 9 ..so if i only put on another stone ill be thrilled with that.  Umm thats it need to go do housework then dh and me and the boys are off to capstone park to walk around the lake and play on the slides..i love it there its so quite and not well known about..they do a daddys and boys overnight survival camp for over 5s so im hoping they have a space for benjy and daddy in june x
