Too close for comfort

November - the day before

The whole story

1: In the begining
2: Getting warmer
3: Too close for comfort
4: Aagh, it's happening
5: They think it's all over
6: Is this it?

And the pictures...

November 7th

No real news. Jackie raided my hospital car parking fund to pay for her lunch - little does she know the chaos she causes! I'll have to save another four pound coins now to get that 24hr parking (hope the labour isn't any not longer, I'll be really buggered then). She put it down to hormonal effects, which pretty much explains all sorts of irrational behaviour at the moment.

Final NCT class - this was the nasty one about pain relief, cutting, tears and stitching. A really cheery thing to end on. Jackie got busy organising her social life however, with plans to meet some of the girls for lunch and a fitting for a nursing bra. Thought about asking to come along, but then the idea of the bra fitting rather put me off. None of the other men seemed that interested anyway.

Noticed the difference with Jackie being off work - still awake at gone 10pm, loads done around the house and an altogether more relaxed feeling about everything.

Worked from home today so we could take in our first nursery, for when Jackie goes back to work afterwards. Seemed fine - lots of shouting, queuing and singing, and that was just the child minders. Wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to be looking for - in fact often found it hard to distinguish some of the helpers from the kids, they were all so young. It was quite cute seeing the diddy toilets - with my aim and a few lagers I'm sure I would turn one of their cubicles into a swimming pool.

Jackie's Mum and Dad are planning on coming down on Sunday to preview an empty nursery. Hope it meets with the professionals' approval. Put a cuddly toy on display just in case.

What a weekend! Julie, John, Jennika and Mum came on Saturday for a walk in the park, to collect a computer and generally see the decorating we had done.

J's Mum, Dad and sister down on Sunday for a very similar day to the Saturday. However everyone had disappeared by the time I had to do some work for a big presentation on Tuesday. Very unusual for me to have to work on a Sunday, I could have saved myself the effort had I known!
