this pregancy is a strange thing, I think I'm getting forgetful and keep making silly mistakes.I was wondering had you repliedto my post and when I checked I had posted it on my own page... I'm going to blame it on pregnancy anyway, that sounds better than me just being plain stupid... here is the original message-
-that sounds like me last week, kids were off school for two weeks and at home with all their friends. Every time I turned around there was someone looking for food, the house permanently smelled like pizza from the teenagers and I heard loud music or tv's constantly. It's lambing season here and they love to go checking the sheep and finding baby lambs up to ten times a day and the smell of sheep seemed to be everywhere, it's a disgusting smell..I feel like vomiting even thinking about it! Not too bad now because James is working away for 5 days, the younger kids are in school, Jamie goes to school in Dublin (we live ona small offshore island with no highschool) and won't be home til friday either and I'm not working so I've great peace in the house at the moment. My friends Michelle and Noel had their first baby 3 weeks ago, he's a bit fussy or colicky and they are getting no sleep at all.. an hour here and there is the most. She got so tired and upset that she was crying so I've spent a few nights and early mornings giving them a break and it's reminded me of the realitys of small babys. The baby cries on and off all night and at four o clock this morning I was rocking him and thinking -what have I done, letting myself in for all this all over again!! Minor panic attack ensued but I'm much calmer now, trying to convince myself that we''ll be lucky and have a very quiet baby...
