Highs and lows

I have been on such an emotional rollercoaster over the last week...

The good: Have finished up at work so I can spend some quality time with the clever and ever so cheeky and adorable poo monkey. Am 35 weeks on Wednesday, Usurper is happy and healthy. Following a quick scan last Friday it looks like little miss will be around seven and a half pounds at term- a textbook average size to go along with what has essentially been a textbook pregnancy. Here's hoping the birth is straightforward (mwhahahahaha), and neither too early or late. Around thirty eight/nine weeks will do just nicely thanks. Guess that means I'd better start packing a hospital bag..and preparing her nursery. Ahem.

The bad: The poo monkey's intenseness, and the tantrums that seem to go with being a bright but very sensitive little girl trying to make sense of the world. Recovering from a stomach bug courtesy of same little girl. Enough said.

The ugly: Something that mr hissychick has done, something that I wrote and deleted a post about when everything was just so raw. I think...well I hope that I am dealing with this in a mature manner. Let's just say that while I am very resentful that I have nothing wrong yet I am the one who has suffered the sleepless nights and intense anxiety that goes with being dealt a huge shock, I am also determined not to sink just yet. It's just so complicated...........
