Pain in the butt: Part II

Following on from my sciatica post comes the next installment...it got to the point, the other weekend, that I coudn't move so last week my midwife referred me to the Physio at the hospital...Unfortunately they couldn't really do a lot for me...The nice physio gave me a really sexy (?!) corset to wear to help support the ever increasing weight of Junior...it seems to be working ok..just means that I have to move slowly and not sit around too much!
Of course not content to leave it at that I did a bit of research on the internet (I get told off by the health professionals for this) and found that the ain I have may not be plain old sciatica but something called Posterior Pelvic Pain...fortunately for me it's not SPD which would be much much worse!
Now I am counting the weeks and keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't hang around too long once Junior arrives.

My Hair is Saved!!!

I am so pleased!! I have just had a call from my hairdresser (who had been on maternity leave and decided not to go back to the salon) and she is doing work from home...which means I am no longer destined to have bad hair for the rest of my life!!! Poor Zoe has been waiting for her ex-collegues to tell her old clients that she was setting up from home and they haven't been...so she waited 10 weeks before starting to ring round...Yippee!!!

Robert and Kathryn's Wedding

Robert and Kathryn got married in Beaulieu Abbey Church on the 9th July...it was a lovely day and the bride and groom looked gorgeous! Lord Montague even lent a vintage Rolls Royce for to the happy couple!




dancing...? Well...I had a go..obviously not in my most flambouyant style (just not physically possible)...

All was going well...until an announcement quite late in the evening reception...the groom managed to lose is wedding ring! :-S Hopefully it'll turn up on the family farm (that's where the reception was held)...

How cute are these?!!

Expensive week

Last week we ordered stuff for Junior...thank goodness it's not arriving until nearer the time as we have nowhere to put anything at the moment!We finally decided on the wheels and it's going to be a Jane Slalom Pro Matrix Travel System (bit of a mouthful)...we got it on the web because the nice people at prams4you were offering a pre-order facility. We decided to go for a nice safe dark blue (which is actually blue and black) because the colour won't clash with anything I might choose to wear!
Then on Saturday we popped to John Lewis in Reading (big mistake as it was the first day of the sales!) and we ordered Junior's cotbed and chest of drawers ...I hope he/she likes them! We now have a deadline for getting the nursery in a fit state..which means I'll have to start moving my office across the landing...
