oh, poor you
firstly, and most importantly - you do know the other symptoms of PE, don't you? please keep an eye out for them, a friend of mine ended up with full blown eclampsia, and was close to death. plus she was in the US and is still paying the medical bills - her child is 16 now.

secondly, if catface continues his cruelty (mrvitc made occasional mooing sounds when I was leaking milk in the early days, and very nearly ended up unable to father more children. or he would have done had certain ares of me not been recently stitched thus rendering me fairly immobile) then you should ramp up the unreasonable pregnancy demands. you know the kind of thing 'oh, I really need a lidl cereal bar NOW wah wah wah, what do you mean it's 4am, find a 24 hour lidl you pansy' then when he returns with it 'not this one, fool!' then burst into tears and eat his last rolo.

thirdly, this book www.thefoodoflove.org/ is just lovely and I wish I'd had it before sprog made an appearance. (the mama sutra is especially good www.thefoodoflove.org/mama-sutra.htm)

just think, in 2 months time you'll have a baby and be so full of hormones you'll cry at everything, and you'll be leaking milk right left and centre, and bleeding like the worst period of your life, and won't have slept for about a week. oh, I'm almost jealous!

You make it sound so lovely!

I must say, Catface is being great, he was just in a bit of a knackered strop last night. He sent me a lovely text from work this morning though, and he's always happy to go to the shop for my fix of cold custard/green beans/excessive amounts of biscuits (not all at once, that would be crazy).

I'm on anklewatch now. It went down a bit last night but was swollen again within an hour of getting up. I am marking a pile of projects, sitting sideways, with one leg raised above waist height. Interesting.

it is lovely
in retrospect ;)
I was looking at photos we have of me in labour and the first photos after boy arrived, and can't believe it was only 7.5 months ago. (oh, if you must check camera batteries in the hospital, photos of yourself in labour are not that way to go. rough doesn't even come close to describing how I looked!)

but you're going to have a snuffly newborn to cuddle soon, all tiny and soft and the feet! I've just remembered how soft the soles of his feet were when he was born.

damn, getting broody again, NOT GOOD!
