thank god we are going on a road trip tomorrow because i am bored to death with crappy daytime tv. my leg/butt pain is so bad today that i couldn't even go for a walk. in fact last night when i walked to the end of our street to meet the cg from the station (a 10 minute walk at most) i almost didn't make it back. talking of pain, i ordered a TENS machine today. i wasn't going to bother with any of this jiggery pokery but the woman at the antenatal session said that they are often a god-send in labour and something she would really recommend. i figured that if it got me through the ordeal with just g & a and without having to resort to pethidine or an epidural then it would definitely be worth it. i also subscribed to the guardian "sofacinema" thingy. we decided not to bother with sky since we have freeview but once the baby arrives it would be nice to have regular movies to watch. of course, once i'd subscribed i couldn't actually decide what movies i wanted to see and the cg was even worse. we are so bloody fussy.
well it's time to go and check on my leek and sweetpotato gratin and to start cooking the pork, honey and wholegrain mustard sausages.

(warning: another baby focused entry!)
i am 33 weeks pregnant today and i am so ready for this baby to come. i don't mean that i'm sick of carrying her around all the time, although i am struggling with serious pain in my butt and leg muscles which makes it hard for me to walk very far. what i mean is that i'm ready. i have more or less everything i need to clothe and feed her, and somewhere for her to sleep. i have my birth plan ready and a list of things that i've packed (or need to be packed on the day) in my labour bag and my hospital bag. of course i'm still not sure WHERE i'm actually having the baby. i have an appointment at Bath Hospital in a couple of weeks time so maybe it will happen there, on the other hand if things progress quickly (fat chance!) and i don't think i can make that journey we will end up in Trowbridge. either way, i'm sure they aren't going to send me packing if i turn up ready to give birth.
we are picking up the cot and change table tomorrow. neither is necessary for when she arrives, since she will be sleeping in a moses basket in our room for the first 6 months, but it will be nice to have her room sorted too.
