Summer week 36

4 weeks to go.
I took nest building to an even higher level last week. Something was really bothering me about the nursery - it just looked too crowded. So i decided to remove the wardrobe which led to other furniture needing to be moved around too. In the end i had re-arranged my bedroom, the nursery, the downstairs hallway and the kitchen. Needless to say i was knackered afterwards.
Phil wasn't best pleased either when he came home to see what i had done. It does look nice though but perhaps i shouldn't have done it all on my own. Since then i have had a huge pain in my shoulder blade which i am sure is either a trapped nerve or a pulled muscle, it really hurts all the time but nothing i can do about it as i am not allowed to take any form of pain killers. My own fault i suppose.
My aunty was visiting last week so i spent a couple of days with her shopping which was nice. She bought us a bouncer for the baby.
Had another midwife appointment on monday (might be my last). Everything is fine as per usual. She is in the right place and is getting "engaged". Had more blood taken and now have a huge bruise on my arm! My blood pressure and everything is normal and fine. 
I mentioned about the braxton hicks and that i thought i was going to be early. The midwife seemed to agree with me as she said you only tend to get the braxton hicks at the very late stages of pregnancy. My mum is also convinced that it will be early and has started taking her phone to bed with her!
Everything is ready so i don't know why i am worried about it. My bag is packed & phil knows which numbers to call when the time comes. The only thing i have left to do is to pick some CD's to take with me. I have lots of favourite songs etc but not sure which ones will be good to keep me motivated (thinking some queen or bon jovi classics) something up-beat would be good. I am definately taking Newton Faulkner's new album as "dream catch me" seems to be the anthem of my pregnancy and the one song that will always remind me of being pregnant.
Any song suggestions welcome...
I am now off work for the rest off the week!! and finally leave work next thursday. I am really not sure what i am going to do with my time. Its weird to think i will be having so much time off. I have started selling old clothes on Ebay which is keeping me amused.
Not much else to say really as its been a fairly quiet week. Looking forward to Heroes tonight.
Speak to you next week
Mum to be

Do what makes you most happiest...

This is something I have long forgotten but something I am aiming to rectify. I have been looking inwardly for a while now as I realised I have lost myself a bit. I have spent so long being mum, wife, councillor, chauffer, chef, cleaner, dog walker business owner etc etc etc (you get the idea) that I don't really know who I am anymore or what makes me tick. My son asked me last Mothers day what I would like to do as it was 'my day' - I honestly couldn't answer and my 11 year old boy just said "that's really sad". He was absolutely right, that is sad! When did I just stop living my own life to serve everyone else? I like to paint and have recently made time to complete a run of adult paint by numbers to decorate my living room with. I also started doing acrylic paintings and watching some Bob Ross for inspiration. This is a good start but I'm not passionate about it. Today I remembered what I used to be passionate about and that was writing so I am back...

Kat didn't get the cream as she isn't allowed :(

I have done a lot of reflection since my last post and made some positive steps. One of my pet hates is when people moan constantly about situations they have complete control over but are just too lazy to make the change needed. So with this in mind I am now following a super healthy diet. I think my stomach may still be in shock with the amount of fruit and vegetables it is receiving. Most of the time I think I am hungry I have a drink of water and it turns out I wasn't hungry at all. I have also started exercising again. Up until a week ago I was attending a super intensive boot camp three times a week but had to stop due to the pregnancy as the low impact version is just a waste of time. So on Thursday and Friday last week I had time off work and took my daughter out for ridiculous long walks. By Saturday my ankles started to swell a bit. Saturday was not a good day at all. I went on a mission to get a dress for my friend’s wedding that evening. Everything I tried on looke...

Time for a career change

I have worked at my company for almost 15 years... yes that's right 15 years. When I began at the very young age of 18 it was just a job, something to provide me with money and perhaps an extended set of friends but nothing more. The company itself specialises in reputation (or media) analysis which usually leaves people staring blankly at me uttering the now famous words "oh, ok that sounds...interesting". In a nutshell (and in no way doing this industry justice) we track and measure the effectiveness of communication activity and what impact it really makes to the company - so is your PR/ Marketing actually doing what it should be. In a recent job interview the MD of a marketing agency said "wow, it's amazing what these companies will pay for" which I smiled politely to as I wanted the job but in all honesty I was a little hurt. Over time I began to see this more as a career and became quite ambitious to great effect. Several promotions later I becam...
