Karen's Journey

Hi ya

Thought I had better come on and do quick post to say all going well here... still plodding on day by day... but the best thing is that I have now finished work!! YIPPPEEE!!! Friday was hectic as I was doing my bosses job since he was on leave so despite going in early (was at work just after 7am) it was 5pm before I got away! So it was a long day especially when one was so busy - I was shattered by the time I got home!
I got spoilt on Thursday with a very scrumptious morning tea and a lovely card with an envelope of money (had been discussed with me prior to the presentation) for us to spend on either the baby or myself! And then on Friday, a very dear friend of mine from work gave me a card with money in it to ensure I spoil/treat myself!!! So am going to book in a pregnancy massage, a facial and a pedicure and enjoy every minute of it!!!

Today, I have been up and down emotion wise but thats cause I am tired... despite actually have a reasonable nights sleep last night. Went out just after 11am and didn't get home again till after 3.30pm so am pretty shattered. On the way home I was thinking that I would go have a lay down and perhaps have a nana nap but found one of our neighbours (behind us) had their car stereo booming with the most awful bass thumping from it! So gave up on the nana nap and ended up doing the vacuming instead but could still hear the thumping over the cleaner! But it seems to have stopped about 15 mins ago so we both have our fingers crossed it has stopped now! I didn't really want to go over and ask him to turn it down earlier but if he starts it up again I will waddle on over and ask him nicely... Steph wouldn't do it earlier cause he was in a grump with a headache and couldn't guarantee that he would ask nicely and I didn't really want any trouble...


So anyway, today we went down to Lower Hutt as the Baby Factory had 12.5% off for Parent Centre members and we used the money I got from work to get some sheets, blankets etc for both the basinett and cot and also a couple of other bits and pieces. And then we went over to Baby City and got a sunshade for the pram as they stocked one especially for a Berteni 4 wheeler. Kebab for lunch and then popped into Steph's brothers place for a chat before doing the groceries! Starting to stock up on energy snacks etc to take to the hospital so we just have to have control now and not eat them before hand so will put them in the hospital bag pretty soon I think... LOL

Right, thats me... not a lot happening here tonight - another quiet night - am getting tired of quiet nights in but on the other hand I often don't have the energy to go out but then get bored just staying home... so theres no winning with me at the moment!

Not a lot planned for tomorrow either... but right now I think I might go do some tidying up in the nursery :)
