3 things that scare me
Losing my family (that has to be the scariest!)
Operations (mostly due to having a drip, last time I had a spike set in my hand I ripped it out!)

Music
Carrots

3 things you are wearing right now
Jeans
Purple jumper
Slippers

3 of your favourite songs
Arrrrrrgh - that’s really difficult and I have a big long list! It really depends on what mood I’m in! Usually either Holiday in Cambodia or Californian Uber Alles by Dead Kennedys, You’re Gonna Miss Me by 13th Floor Elevators and Say A Little Prayer (sung by Aretha Franklin rather than Dionne Warwick) - but really it is very changeable and I always have new things I enjoy listening to added to my playlist. ATM I’m listening a lot to Mr Brightside (Killers), Golden Touch (Razorlight) and Intergalatic (Beastie Boys - ‘cos my 9 year old got their best of…)

HTHs

Being a bit of a twit I managed to fall down the stairs whilst carrying Nin. I should’ve had my slippers on, but we were going out so I’d got myself and Nin changed, slipped down the final 3 or 4 stairs and in true cartoon fashion, the minute my tight-covered foot hit the laminated floor I flipped up in the air and landed on my bum with Nin on top of me. Nin was fine, if a little surprised. I was a bit shaken up. It seemed to set off a good lot of very painful contractions and I ended up being checked over in hospital just to check that baby was ok. Looks like I’m set for a last few uncomfortable weeks as every evening I’m getting very painful contractions added to by a tickly cough (which is driving me mad).

I’ve had another blood test, so fingers crossed my blood count has gone up, if not I think I will be a little concerned this close to labour.

We’ve put up the tree so are looking a little more festive. No itching or swelling this time, so I’m guessing I was allergic to something that was sprayed on the last tree (as I ended up at A&E itching all over with my airways swelling up - not a fun experience).

It’s still rather quiet on the HE front, simply because I’m permanently tired. R. has been plodding along in the background whilst I’ve tried to rest (as I’m struggling to get up before 10 ATM). So here’s hoping I’ve not got too much longer left and can get my iron levels back up well after baby arrives.
