Had to go to see the Specialist again today. They scanned my kidney to see how much it was dilated. Thankfully it's not too bad today but they are concerned about the amount of pain I am in. I have to go to see him again in 3 weeks time but if the pain gets bad they want to admit me and maybe put a stent in The plus side is that I got a piccie of Mervin p.s. Hubbie reckons he's playing the Playstation :blink: :o
Not been sleeping very well at the moment. I gave in last night and ended up taking a pain killer and sleeping on the sofa :blink: Mind you, the sofa is very comfy I don't have much energy for much at the moment, my cooking skills are suffering and we are resorting to quick and easy meals :o But I did make Dauphinious (sp) potatoes last night with a slight twist of adding Celariac in Off to the hospital to have my kidney scanned tomorrow and see the specialist. They are going to see how m
I had a bad night last night with my kidney and ended up taking the day off to recharge my batteries a bit :blink: As MiniLoo (Mervin) gets bigger, it means that more pressure is being put on my poor kidney, so I am suffering a bit more at the moment.I'm having another scan on my kidney on Friday to see how it is changing, I hope that it can be controlled without them having to have an early c-section :o But I am trying to be positive and work on the priciple that it's better that they know wh
Well dragged myself out of bed then set off to see my Grandma with little fella, leaving hubbie to do some work stuff/empty the loft/put the washing out/watch the Grand Prix. I think he did most of the latter :blink: Got to Grandma's to find out that she had suffered a bit of a calmity My aunt (who lives with her) had managed to flush her bottom set of false teeth down the toilet She has not been to the dentist in years and her dentist has ceased working. As she is 90+ (not sure how old) a
Well what did we get up to todayHubbie and little fella went for a long overdue haircut, I should also have one but find lots of excuses to get out of it. We ended up have a Barber shop conversation about children's TV programs You had to be their but I was crying with laughter at the older Barber's comments about drug enduced kiddies programs in the 70's (to which I had to agree) We then went to the Designer Outlet on the outskirts of York. A safe place to take a pregnant woman as they do not
Oh my life is either too boring to comment about or too ******* that I can't comment about.Things are a bit stressful at the moment, on top of trying to handover my tasks, trying to move house, my kidney being a total pain (literally) I have other "things" which are doing my head in Sorry, this is getting very kriptic but hopefully things will improve when there is space between me and other people :blink: But it seems that everythings is progressing on the house front. I'm looking forward to
Well I've been deglecting my blog recently :blink: I've had a lot on my mind and have not always been in the best of moods to post an entry for fear falling foul of the lible laws re my boss Things are all go on the house front, we are aiming to move at the beginning of November, work permitting (see above) We went to see the bank on Saturday re mortgage, which is really a formality due to actually reducing our mortgage but it still took over 2 hours :o I got a bit shirty with the woman who
Went to York yesterday in a vain hope of finding some clothes that 1) fitted me 2) did not look totally molly.......failed miserably but bought some boots to go with my existing maternity trousers :blink: En route we slowed due to traffic in a place called Strensall, just outside of York. To my left was a vet's surgery and a bloke in his mid-twenties stood looking at his feet a short distance from the door. Being curious (nosey) I looked at his feet to see a 8 foot (at least) snake, which was a
Well today was my 20 week scan.MiniLoo was being very good and keeping still until the radiographer decided she wanted pictures of his heart. Then he decided that he was going to jump about like mad but it was nice to see him being active Then he decided to behave and lay down with his hand propped behind his head in a sort of laid back kind of way :o Anyway, he's(/she's) ok. Everything is fine and well, no signs of any problem with it's kidneys. To be honest we had a full frontal shot and I
Today was little fella's first day at Nursery School, he seems far too young but he was fine. In fact he loved it to bits and can't wait to go again I can't remember ever looking forward to going to school but it's lovely that he's happy and willing to learn Had to go to the dentist tonight for a Hygenist checkup. Little fella came with me and has changed from reluctant child to inquisitive child at the Dentist. In fact the Hygenist had to keep nudging him back from looking in my mouth as sh
Oh I ache all over and am starting to feel a bit sorry for myself My ligaments are getting a bit soft and it's starting to hurt when I walk or sit for too long. Plus my kidney is getting really painful :o I'm off to see the specialist on Friday but it seems like a long way off at the mo Hubbie phoned tonight to report back from South Africa. Today Johansburg tomorrow Petoria :blink: Little fella starts at Nursery tomorrow and is beside himself with excitement. He is really familiar with the
HurrahWe finally managed to get to London without much incident. We travelled down on Thursday afternoon and I came back today. We had a good time visiting the Borough Market, a pirate ship (forget the name) Hamleys etc and the weather was glorious :blink: It was very tiring though, not helped by hubbie sneaking off to South Africa on Sunday and leaving me to get home on my own Bless him, it's not his fault, it's work. 11 hours non-stop overnight and flying back on Wednesday night. But at lea
We had a fairly relaxing day and decided to do the touristy thing and go to Helmsley Castle. They were having a pretend siege, with lots of costumes, guns, etc. Well it was very loud with guns firing and canons Little fella was not impressed and screamed his head off He calmed down eventually but we did not spend as long as we would have liked to :blink: Caught more people having a sneaky look at the house, so decided that we needed to have a bit of a tidy up just in case :o Had Roast Ch
Well had a busy week, we were supposed to be on holiday in Crowborough (nr Tunbridge Wells) but spent part of the week house hunting in Gloucestershire :blink: Saw some dreadful, dreadful properties. They would make the 'How clean is your house' team cringe Eventually we found something which is a bit smaller than we hoped but in the village we really want and hence an offer has been made. Currently we are waiting for the second offer (first was rejected) to be considered (it's bank hol weeke
Have an unexpected day off due to childinder problems and so far we have made chocolate smartie buns and are now watching Magic Roundabout.It's quite good, with lots of famous voices but I find it a bit strange listening to Kylie teasing Robbie Williams with a sugar lump Going into work briefly to help run some reports but will have little fella so it will only be a fleeting visit. Tonight I will be making another Chocolate tart :o and Peach cake. Hubbie is really enjoying me being pregnant
Well finally manage to persude my naughty computer to re-install the scanner software so finally I have a picture of MiniLoo to show you Today we ventured into the centre of York (don't usually bother with the centre - too busy and expensive to park/eat etc) For once I actually managed to buy something for me A knee length wraparound flared skirt (v trendy for me) and a top from Kookai (sp) Bought little fella "The Magic Roundabout" DVD, then returned home where I went to sleep for an hour
Bit late setting off for work so got the post before I left.1) Tickets I ordered yesterday afternoon for London have arrived already 2) Tax refund arrived for Hubbie just over a week after me writing to them, plus it's £200 more than I had expected They say things come in threes, so should I be greedy and expect the third ...........no, I shall be happy with 2 nice things to start my day :o
Well I've booked tickets to try to go down to London again to see my brother and sis-in-lawHopefully this time no one will try to blow themselves (or others) up and we will have a good time :o Little fella is really excited, "did you talk to the train man?, is the train fixed?" I'm thankful he is too young to know the truth, I remember my first trip to London when I was 5 and being evacuated from the Tower of London because of a bomb scare It made me really scared of London for a long while
Well today was the dreaded scan on my kidney :o Good news is that it's not too bad at the moment. I can't remember the official term but basically it's not got a huge black hole in the middle of it as it used to have.Bad news is that the "pelvis"? area of the kidney is starting to show signs of hydro nephrosis (sp) so they are going to have to keep a close eye on things Plus point was that she had a quick scan of MiniLoo and he was either having a bit of a boogie, thrashing his arms about
Had a busy weekend, went to the Magna Centre in Sheffield on Saturday.I've never been to Sheffield before and whilst Sheffield itself is a bit industrialised the surrounding countryside is beautiful The Magna Centre is a Science park set inside an old Steel works. It was huge, humongus, massive, you name it, it was huge Inside you go along dark walkways suspended within the old Steel works. It looked like a film set for Ridley Scott and I half expected an Alien to pop up somewhere As littl
I know I shouldn't be but I am We have accepted an offer on our house so I should not feel stressed but I do. Whilst it's really good news, it also forces us to look for a new house. Hubbie is looking at a couple of properties tomorrow and has been on the phone asking about other ones he has seen (bit pricy some of them ) I know it's an exciting time but it's also very worrying. I look forward to leaving my job asap but there are so many things to consider, little fella etc Hopefully hubby
Well a fairly uneventful weekend, apart from a gorilla walking around Helmsley shaking his bannanas at people Went into Clarks on Saturday with an idea to buying little fella some shoes in the sale - NEVER AGAIN :o They have a children's department with a huge queue and no toys So hence little kids were just wrecking the place Go my results back from my triple test and thankfully I am very low risk - phew !!My brother and his three kids came up to drop off the youngest with my mum. It
Had a late start for the 2nd time this weekend. I can't lie in bed usually but I felt like I had been pinned to the bed Although I am supposed to be "blooming" I still feel mega tiredWent to see an old friend and her kids today who I have not seen for 6 months. Little fella took great delight in dressing up in their dressing up stuff but had to be Mr Cedible (Mr Incredible) He looked really funny with fake muscles and a big chest Although he would not put the mask on (he's strange about mask
Having a strange day today, only got in at lunchtime and no one in the office, so it's a bit errie Spent most of the morning seeing the Obstitritian (sp) re my kidney and the affect MiniLoo is going to have on it. Cue lots of appointments for scans on kidney, seeing Urologists etc Also decided to have the Triple Test so had to wait for them to take some bloods (don't like needles much :o )It was a bit strange having to go back to the hospital as they all remember me from last time Radiogr
Got too much to do at work and feel overwhelmed My boss is away til next Wednesday but expects me to perform the impossible sometimes I think I would be better just quiting now for an easy life but I will not be forced out by mis-management.I know I have done really well on the projects that have not been interfered with, I'm helping improve things in lots of different area but .....lack of planning :o I look forward to being able to start my Maternity leave asap and count the weeks Boug
