Hello ladies, feels like ages since I poked my head in here, last few weeks have been crazy! Me and OH moved house two weeks ago, and as I was coming from a house-share with two housemates, the cleaning and sorting process has been very painful and drawn out! But as of yesterday, I have internet in my new house, finally!
I'll be honest, this past week has been hell (Brace yourselves...this is gonna be a long whingey post!). Last Saturday I took my dogs out for a walk by the river, one of them slipped his harness and jumped in for a swim! I wasn't worried, he's a water baby. But it became quickly clear he was struggling to swim against the current that was taking him. Anyway, he got into severe difficulty and I ended up running with my other dog right round to the opposite side of the river to see if I could get to him. He was screaming all the while, panicking cos I was out of sight. When I finally found him, the drop was too severe for him to crawl out or for me to get to him. While I was thinking what to do, my OTHER dog decided to jump in and try to save him! The only problem was, my other dog can't swim, which he quickly remembered and started drowning! So basically seconds later I was in the river, rescuing them both. Got out the river covered in nettle stings, cuts and bruises and then remembered I had my iphone in my pocket

So that's knackered! That afternoon I managed to fall down the stairs, slipped onto my back and down a few steps which led me to jar my back and left me with a nasty bruise.
So I spent a few days recovering from all that and then went to the hospital yesterday for my GTT. Midwife butchered my left arm taking the first lot of blood, so much so that I can barely manage the gears in my car! It's absolutely covered in purple bruises and swollen to twice the size. I mentioned my fall down the stairs and she then insisted on another blood test and an anti-d shot

So kind of felt like a pin cushion yesterday, and today my left arm is really hurting, as well as looking quite horrific! Unfortunately my OH got the full brunt of my pain and frustration this morning, so he's in the huff now!
Apologies for the long and self-pitying post! I'm just a bit fed up right now, and it feels like the house is so not ready for the baby yet. Nowhere near

A little stressed! Hope everyone else is having a slightly less stressful time! x
