We ask whether this still means being induced, and the midwife says to come in on Friday anyway and have all the tests again, and make the decision then, if need be. Good plan. After the stretch and sweep, come home and go into early labour. Nothing too serious, but enough to make me start tracking the contractions on the app. (Please note that FJ gave birth a couple of hours after we left the hospital, and an hour after we had been texting. The kid comes home. And I express colostrum into a 3mm syringe in case the babe is as tiny as they're saying he is. (God bless midwife friends who know that these things might be required and have the equipment lying around at home. 5ml out over the pillow when I accidentally push the plunger a bit too hard. Within an hour, things are happening. Then they happen a bit quicker. With FJ's experience in mind, we call L from down the street to come and sit in the living room and wait for my mum to turn up, and we head into the hospital. Through to the assessment centre and things started to slow down. Everyone assumes it is the lights and the sterile hospital environment that have scared the contractions off, and they send me out for a walk, and. They do another stretch and sweep (3 cm this time) and load me up with some codeine so that I can sleep a bit before things might get going again and by 1. 30 am I am back home in bed.
(Create Beauty, Be Happy)
For me, I stalk the different categories, looking at all the kinds of food I wish I had the patience to cook, looking at all the cute outfits I wish I could afford to own, and god help me when I look at the kids section. Im not far off from having kids but, having like 719561 nurseries planned cannot be healthy. Everyone I seem to talk to says they tend to gravitate towards one category and just obsess searching through that one. This category makes everyone think they are god damn Martha Stuart. Now, don't get me wrong, I have found some AMAZING recipes on Pinterest, so many that I have now made an entire cookbook of recipes I have tried and LOVED. But then there are those recipes that look like the most adorable edible creations to ever exist, and the pinner swears up and down that it is the easiest recipe ever. This is pretty much what it looks like every time I try to make "cute" food. People like me (the uncreative type) should all just realize that no matter how "easy" and how "cute" these things always are. Oh my gosh, if I had a nickel for every hour that I spent on this category, I would have. Im always trying to find new things to add to our apartment, and that I can do for my wedding, and make for my dogs, etc. I really hope I am not the only crazy person spending all my time looking at projects that will take me 10.
The delivery men brought our new cooker on Sunday morning. We’d been to the theatre the night before, and got home at midnight, so when my alarm went off at five o’clock in the morning, I could not drag myself out of bed. Chances are, they’ll be quick and professional, and afterwards we’ll have a brand new cooker, the first one we’ve ever bought together in twenty years of marriage. We said farewell to the old cooker, which was rusty, grease-stained, with a defunct grill and loose lock on the oven door. We’d inherited it when we bought the flat, in 1994, and I’m not sure how long it had been there before us. Its particular model is no longer manufactured, and it was apparently thinner than all current models, which is why we had to have the... We still didn’t know whether the new cooker would fit. After the engineers had fitted the cooker, they told us that we needed to replace the carpet on which it now stood with kitchen tiles, because carpet is a fire hazard. Had it been a fire hazard when the old cooker stood there. Also, because the old cooker had a control panel above the hobs and the new one doesn’t, the back wall was now exposed, and we would have to get the power cable covered with something called metal trunking. The new cooker apparently blows hot air out the back, which the old one didn’t, and tcheaphis might melt the cable, another fire hazard. They left, and we congratulated ourselves on our brand new cooker.
