Thursday, June 26, 2008 Ria is back on track...
Week 37
We are back on track to being sorted for our little princess to arrive… we now have a new and far more sensibly sized car for transporting baby and puppy about, and have had our beautiful hammock delivered so she has somewhere to sleep now. The spiral stand is really cool and the hammock looks so cosy, and - despite trying - we have discovered that puss cats can’t jump into the hammock, so no chance of being smothered by a fluffy tail.
I drove up to Bristol this week to see one of my best friends who has just had her baby, Charlie, she and he had quite a traumatic birth and he has been suffering from colic and stress related trauma. But the little fella was a real cutie pie while I was there and was happy and content to snuggle up in a papoose on Katie all the time I was there. I took pup, and have discovered (not surprisingly) that puppies and baby toys, rugs, hats, shoes, jumpers, and most amusingly moses baskets don’t mix! Noodle couldn’t understand why something as snuggly looking as Charlie’s moses basket wasn’t appropriate for her to sleep in! Still our house is more puppy proof so hopefully we can keep everything out of harms way!
Having decided to have little one in our room for as long as we need to, we haven’t done very much to what will be her nursery, and everyone keeps asking if the nursery is ready, and I’m feeling a bit guilty that we’ve not done it! The room it will be in is our study at the moment, and we want to keep it that way as long as we can before we have to move the computer etc… but I have spoken to a girl I used to teach who is now at Art college and she’s going to come and paint Jungle book mural’s all over the room in the summer, she’s been commissioned before for something similar and it looks fab - as you can see from these pics:
We are really on the home straight now waiting for baby cakes to arrive, and I’m feeling fine at the moment, I had a few emotional stresses a couple of weeks ago, but now am really keen to meet her, I keep wondering what she will look like and when she’s going to make an appearance. Jon is so busy with rugby at the moment that we just hope she can hang on till a day when he’s actually in calling distance and not 6 hours up the motorway!
