I have had my evening planned all day, my computer is causing me nothing but problems these days and the format and reinstall of windows the other day has done nothing to help – all i had on hand was Service Pack 3 and it just doesn’t get along with my computer. I cannot send emails using outlook using it and its driving me nuts , so tonight i was going to format again and install Windows Xp Service Pack 2.
While the computer was formatting i was planning to write a nice long blog post about the last few days and then spend some time catching up on blog reading and commenting.
Its been one thing after another (such as the disk not working right and not been able to transfer files over to DHs computer ) and its now 8.30 and im just to tired and annoyed to even care.
Thats not my biggest disappointment , the people from the scanning place called about an hour ago to cancel tomorrow. I have more or less been in tears over it, i *know* its silly but i just was so excited about it. Im so nervous over Rebecca’s hospital appointment next week that this was all that was keeping me going.
The sonographer is off sick, which straight away just bugs me – i mean its a BABY SCANNING PLACE , the whole point is to scan babies and they only have one person who can do that? Freaking stupid if you ask me.
They did offer me another appointment at 5.40pm Friday (but warned she still may be ill) well i cannot make it then as Craig is working and not only does he want to be there but i have no way of getting there with out him (not fancying bus-ing it with the kids when its bed/dinner time).
They could also offer me 12.40 on Tuesday the day of Rebecca’s surgery.
Basically its rescheduled for a week tomorrow at 3pm .
There is another one in Glasgow, im going to give them a call first thing tomorrow and see if there is any way i can be fitted in that day or Friday maybe. I just don’t want to wait another week
Its good to get it out, its been such a nice week aswell and the scan was the icing on the cake for me.
Craig is now all done with exams and we can finally spend some family time together, we took full advantage of it yesterday and spent the whole day out and about. I took the kids to rhyme time at the library then Craig took us for lunch and swimming.
We all had a blast and of course everyone was shattered.
Eilidh was apparently really tired out (as we never made it home for nap) , i went to check on her this morning at around 7.15 as i had not heard the slightest bit of noise from her all night long (it had been over 12 hours at this point). I think i woke her up as she demanded out the cot .
Of course the minute we got through the living room she lay down and went back to sleep, trying to put her back in the cot didn’t work so she slept on the couch till 8.30 when the smell of toast woke her up.
Come 10am i tried naptime not expecting her to go, she took a long breastfeed (about 10 minutes, which is about 10 times longer than normal) and fell asleep in my arms . I had to wake her at 12.30 as Rebecca had playgroup.
She even took a 15/20 minutes afternoon nap in the car.
And come bedtime? She passed straight out.
I am hoping it was just the chaos of yesterday that has made her so sleepy and she is not coming down with anything, possibly a growth spurt? Hard to tell as she always eats loads.
- Now there should me more but seriously i HATE MY COMPUTER and cannot be bothered retyping it again. (As if shut itself down mid type)



I’m sorry. I hate that the scanning place and your computer are being stinkers. Hopefully you’ll be able to get into the other place. One of my friends was so excited about finding out the sex of her baby, and the little one would not cooperate during her scan. Turns out that it was a girl, but she didn’t know for sure until I think her scan at 8 months.
I’m so sorry they couldn’t do your scan when you wanted. That has to be very frustrating…I can imagine.
I’m so sorry about the cacelation.
( That just sucks. But, I am glad Craig is done with exams and can spend more time with you!
