Friday 24th February-Sunday 26th February 2006

Friday:
Woohoo! *Friday Dance*

This morning it was cold and I was tired and I couldn't be bothered, so I just left my coat buttoned up, nearly hiding my humungous belly and therefore eliminating any anger about not being given a seat. I simply don't have the energy to be angry today and I never get a seat anyway so what's the point in undoing my cosy warm coat to flash my pregnant tummy?

I found out at about 6pm last night, on the way to Lakeside with Hubby, that I got my new job! Yay me! I will start in October after my maternity leave and it's a little more money, and it's all good experience so I am very chuffed with myself. Then I came in this morning to yet more long lists of things to do before I go (helloooo, five working days remaining people!) and I felt ready to just go home and hide under my duvet again. *sigh* I am going to clear my desk today - not just clear it as much as possible but totally clear it so there's nothing on it at all for Monday morning, the I can concentrate on clearing my emails and other bits.

Saturday:
On Friday night Hubby secured the curtain pole in the nursery, the last of the jobs remaining to be done. We had to use a special No Nails type glue as for some reason we can't drill into the wall. The bloody things fell down in the middle of the night, taking lumps of paint and plaster with it. So now everything has to be sanded down and repainted again. The curtain pole fittings broke on their descent too, so we need to buy new ones. Great.

Saturday was fairly relaxing, a bit of housework and some baking and then a night at our friends' Becky and Ian's place for our other friend Clair's birthday. It was a nice night, though for the first time in a long time I really craved a glass of wine. I think it's because I feel a deserve a break and a chance to wind down: I am exhausted, I don't sleep, I am constantly uncomfortable, I've been on steroids for a year, my skin is stretched, my body is unrecognisable....I could go on. I just felt I deserved to put my feet up, let my hair down and get completely rat-arsed. Unfortunately I had to stick with caffeine-free diet coke and a glass on alcohol-free rose, not quite the same buzz.

Sunday:
On Sunday, when Hubby returned from running around the Hackney marshes in the cold and wet mud, we went for lunch. We figured it was our last chance, financially and time-wise before the baby comes. So we went to Pizza Express, it was nice actually. There were another couple there, about our age, with a tiny baby. So at least we know maybe we'll still be able to go out every now and then (if we ever have any money!)

My tummy definitely expanded during the course of the weekend, the baby now seems to simultaneously be resting on my lungs and my bladder, so I can't breathe or bend over and I have to go to the loo every 10-20 minutes.

I slept for a few hours in the afternoon and then went to bed exhausted at 9.30pm. Then spend ALL NIGHT tossing and turning with strange dreams and heartburn. So this morning I ache from head to toe and I am exhausted beyond description. Yes I know it's my last week at work, yes I know it's only five days to get through, but it is going to be such a hard week. I just hope I survive it.
