I have a lot of laundry to do .... And folding, and now that I've seen Katie's handiwork ... I have ironing too!
I THINK and hope his newborn stuff will fit into the two drawers I have allocated to him.
His future-clothes will definitely have to be in boxes on the shelves as planned. Phew.
I catalogued and sorted his clothes ... haven't made it through his 4-12 month load (a drawer & 2 bags!!!) from Katie yet.
I'll get there.
Elizabeth visited today. I had a good day actually. Iain cooked me breakfast, and I woke up happy after visiting Katie last night so it was good to be up and about. I went to the market and bought loads of yummy fruit and the veg I need for the week. Might get more veg on Wed, probably wont have to. I carried two big bags back, stopped for a breather every now and then, but managed very well, did not struggle even up the hill. Am proud of my fitness. The baby has given me a lot. He may well have given me more life than I have given him. It's a humbling thought, and I will always be grateful to him for it.
It was so nice to see Elizabeth - I walked to the station to collect her too! I did my whole hour of walking before lunch!!!
I cooked a spicy beef thing in the pressure cooker with swede in it, served with organic salad and a home made balsamic vinaigrette, and some fruit salad I made (pineapple, grapes, cherries - my new favourite combo) - and you know, eating lower carb meals isn't so bad when its that fresh and nice. No leftovers. Am pleased. Heated up food sucks (mainly).
We hung out and chatted and caught up. Then we sorted some clothes and I showed Elizabeth the new stuff I bought him. She wanted to see them OMG I am so lucky today!!!
My favourite is his 'coming home from hospital' outfit - beautiful, just in case we do have him in hospital ... I'd like the outfit to look forward to.
Now I'm trying to get organised and have been focusing on getting the birthing pool. We've picked the La Bassine and I expected to get it from the UK supplier. They have a good website, interesting and everything ... however I am underwhelmed, even a bit miffed at their customer service. I am getting replies ok, and answers to my query ... can I buy it now, can I use it a few times etc etc ... but the answers about supply are a bit short ... I realise now after a few near-monosyllabic messages that they don't have any pools in stock till mid-Sept, and the Tres Tria Co-Sleeping solution I want to order too is not in stock till they dunno when ... No good really. I am not interested in shopping with them if it's so hard to find out when, why, how and what they are doing about it .... So I have ordered the Tres Tria from the US site. It should be with us soon - within 10 days.
Bummer ... but there you go, am petrified now I won't have the Tres Tria pillow ... OR the pool ... Am hoping things will arrive ok.
As for the pool, I have one long shot - I don't read Dutch but the Holland supplier of La Bassine appear to have them in stock ... if they can get one to Tanyapa before the 29th, she can bring it to me. Or presumably they can ship it right to me.
Oh what trauma.
How many times do I have to say 'Don't upset the pregnant lady ... it's not nice.'
