On his way …still
Filed under GeneralNov 14We both managed to sleep last night despite Ellie’s contractions. I feel slightly on a knife edge today, he is definitely closer to showing up since yesterday, bar waters breaking Ellie is showing all the signs, including frantic nesting (she’s hovering next door as I type).
Today has been very strange; we actually went into town on the bus earlier as Ellie wanted some last minute supplies. We bumped into a friend who asked when the baby was coming, to which we replied, well probably later today!
I think the nerves are getting to me, either that or I have food poisoning. We popped into a cafe for a cup of tea in town and I’d I had to pay two visits to the toilet. The owner gave me a bit of a glare when I came out, a bit if a ‘what have you done in there!’ look. We left shortly afterwards and got the bus home, Ellie having contractions and me clutching my bubbly guts. Perhaps its just some kind of sympathy pain.
Throughout the day I’ve been getting bits of work come in. One editor let me know my article was due today. I frantically put it together and considering the circumstances it wasn’t too bad.
I’ve been pretty distracted, I’ve been trying to put things together but nothing seems to be coming out (other than this blog). I can manage an invoice or two but when another editor asked me to drop her an outline for an article it made me stare at a blank curser for around 2 hours counting the gaps between Ellie’s cries of pain. I have to get her (the editor) something by the end of the week which should be an interesting prospect considering we will have a screaming infant on our hands very soon.
Ellie’s also had work in, someone wanted to talk to her about putting on a wild food walk for kids. I was about to pass the phone over when she had a really strong contraction. She’s going to call back in a couple of weeks.
Then half an hour later someone called for me to put on another wild food walk (must be after the TV appearance I had). I was really distracted during the call and for the life of me I can’t remember what I agreed to. No doubt putting a walk on for £2.39 and a bag of crisps.
It’s now the evening, things are still as they were. It’s become a new normal. Just waiting…
