Oh my god there is so much to do still, and although we still dont have a set moving date, we are hoping for friday (25th) wont know till wednesday as estate agents are waiting on referance from bank and wont give us the keys till then. hopefully they will have it by wednesday as we wanted to pay the deposit so we could go and paint the flat before moving in on friday to give the paint fumes time to disapear before we bring tom (and hopefully ellen) into the house.
so we are currently packing, but not to much as we cant pack anything we may need in next week, it might not be till the following friday that we get to move.
Ellen is make NO signs of coming out any time soon, i think she is far to comfortable in there!
michael is off work this week to help me cope with tom im in alot of pain most of the time, my hips are playing me up again and making everyday things very difficult. (like 2 flights of stairs for instance)
oh and our internet is being cut off wednesday as we thought we were moving, so will only be able to update once a week from then on, (not that i post that often anyway) but michael has promised to put sum pictures up for u all to see once i have had ellen, so the first post will be by her daddy :)
well will post soon, hopefully wednesday to say we can move lol!

We have a house!

we have found a 2 bedroom house that is cheap enough!
its a tiny little thing that needs a loving hand, however there are no stairs and a garden!
it the white one in the middle on the picture, the large white building on right is not part of our house, however its much bigger inside then you would think!
as you can see from the picture the back garden is small, however there is a shed at the bottom for storage. behind the camera (the bit you cant see!) is paving with 2 steps up to the grass. the garden will need child proofing, but its a start, and going from a 1 bed 2nd storey flat to a house seems like a dream! 

of course they have to check our referances, and it has drained our finances considerably (ie we have NO money we are using every penny!!) but it will be worth it. thomas will have his own room, and we will have our sitting room back yay!
all we need to do now is pack..
woo!

Bloody Braxton Hicks!
Well three weeks to go!
One thing about pregnancy that no one tells you.. braxton hicks contractions HURT! i have been plagued with the buggers for a few weeks now, and i tell you they are no fun. last time they were uncomfortable but they didn't hurt, however this pregnancy they are ten times worse. i thought i was going into labour early last night as they were coming regularly, but they went away and i haven't had any other signs since so i think it was a false alarm. i can understand why so many women go into the labour ward thinking they are in full blown labour to be told they were actually in "practise/false" labour. its very irritating, because we are supposed to get into the hospital quickly due to this GBS to make sure i get the antibiotics in time. how do i know if its not just more BH? all i can hope is my waters go at the beginning this time so we really know for certain.
toms been playing me up again this week, the tantrums are almost hourly now. i think its a lack of language he frustrated with me for not knowing what he wants first time. while i understand it it doesn't stop me getting impatient with him, then feeling bad for snapping at him!
packed his overnight bag for when i go into hospital last night, as Ive been told that having so many BH could be an indication of labour being just around the corner. which suits me fine, we are eager to meet her!
My Neighbors! they have spent all of last week AND the bank holiday weekend drilling and hammering into the wall that is immediately next to Thomas' cot. as a result he hasn't barely slept all week, which now i think of it is probably aggravating his grumpiness with me. he is sleeping at the moment and they have started up again, so i don't hold out much hope of him being able to complete his nap.
speak of the devil hes just woken! don't you love neighbours?
Write soon!
