Well the CTG on Monday didn’t exactly go as planned, as on chatting to the midwife she fetched a doctor who suspected a blood clot and then I wasn’t going home. I had a series of rather unpleasant tests which luckily all came back negative (they were still poking and prodding at 3am the next morning). I’ll never complain about blood tests again having had them take blood out of the artery at my wrist, which was rather *interesting*.
I’m back home but under strict instructions to go nowhere, rest and contact them if anything aches etc.
So I’ve been reasonably good, even missed the talk on Heuristic Play I was so looking forward to attending. I’ve managed to re-arrange attending a First Aid course for January (and apparently I should be able to take new baby with me too - fingers crossed otherwise I’ll probably have to cancel again).
Naturally it’s been fairly quiet on the HE front, R.’s been chugging along, but obviously hasn’t had much input from me as I’ve not been here and Rik hasn’t really got much knowledge for what R. is studying ATM. Today he had his first go with the sewing machine (I’ve been converting some rather ‘past-it’ terry nappies into wash cloths for bums and R. had a bash as a good way of practising).
Anyway, it’s a bit of a quiet post as I’m in a fairly quiet mood - off to do a bit of surfing before I go to bed (I had a sleep earlier so am just working off some excess energy in the quietest way possible I can think of).
(Slings'n'things)
grief Nikki, you are going through the mill on this one. Hope you manage to take it easy and keep everything under control.
