I have someone coming around from a housing assosiation tomorrow to ask me some questions to decide if they're going to give a house they have available to me or the other person that have been nominated for it. I was seriously stressing out about it yesterday, today I'm just nervous as hell. Been trying to get the place spotless (Well as spotless as you can get a place when most of the stuff is packed in boxes lol) but thats been hard cause I've been having contractions. They been the same all day mum thinks just braxton hicks contractions, I'm not going to worry about that unless they get closer together or my waters break, babys moving around as normal, just uncomfortable when I move around while having them lol so its making cleaning slow. Anyway so this womans coming ay 2:30 tomorrow, she tried to reasure me that she would just be asking a few questions to help with their pointing system to decide who to give the house, and then I will find out in the evening if I got it or not. I'm trying not to get my hopes up incase I don't get it, its exciting to think I could have a house before baby comes so I could get it sorted in time to bring him home, but I'm tryign to keep in mind that I might not get it. But whats bothering me is the fact I have to meet this woman alone cause mums in belfast and she couldn't wait till 21st because the house is ready to let begining of the week so they want to come to a decision by friday evening, i have social phobea so the fact I've even agreed to meet her is a huuge thing, now i just have to make sure i don't freak out have a panic attack and not answer the door in the morning lol
Wish me luck!
ooo and I got my moses basket for baby today so I'm happy about that xD here's a pic, bump got in pic too lol

I have to rehome baby either way i think asking for all three is pushing it too much and she's the only one who would deal with the rehoming without any risks. Ask for the other two, mum has said if they don't let me keep both she will look after yuki who would cope better with beign away from me than skeebee, but i will have to look after her while she is in work because shes too hyper for my nan to cope with on her own. |

It is great news that things are moving on with you getting into your new house Rachell....but please remember about not doing too much, am really worried about your blood pressure - you need to rest and let others do the work.
I do hope you can get around the ruling about only one dog. You would have thought that considering their size it will be possible for you to move with them all....but you do have to face the possibility that this might not happen and the HA will stick with their rules of only one dog. I know this is not what you want to hear, and I really hope it does work out ok, but I also want you to be prepared to cope with whatever decision they make and you need to be thinking about that now....rather than assuming that all 3 will come with you.
Reading this back I know how horrible it must sound to you Rachell, but you know me - I am always honest and will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. I think you need to fight for the chance to have all your dogs with you, but be aware that you may lose.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I could understand them only saying one if they were big dogs, but they aren't they tiny, they like same size as cats, they dont care i have two cats and 3 snakes but they are determined im only allowed one dog. Which wouldn't be so bad but two out of the three i have pine till they nearly nothing if i leave them for more than a week. All i want is for them to let me keep those two lol one of thems coming up to 9 now as well so i dont see why it would be such a problem. |

Sounds like you have made a plan Rachell, which is really good. I am sorry it is going to take so long before you can get in and you do have to remember that you are top of the priority list now because of that baby inside you! So get as much help as you can to do everything. I did wonder about the pre-eclampsia, so am not surprised that the midwife is going to be keeping an eye on you - and the best thing for that is REST otherwise it can be dangerous to you and the baby.
I moved house when my first child was 2 weeks old (admittedly only from one side of a semi-detached to the other) but I had the support of an OH and family around me. We generally lived in 2 rooms cos the rest of the house was being completed and decorated....and I remember rushing around, dusting and hooving, panicking, every time the health visitor was due because I was convinced I would have the baby taken away from me for having her living in those conditions! Looking back I know how silly that was but it is also what hormones and being a new mum does to you.
Is there any help you can get from social services or volunteer agencies or your local church that could help you get set up? It may be worthwhile looking in to that.
If you have to remain on the Verapamil and it can slow down natural labour, you may have to get your head around the fact that the only option will be a C-section. Think about that now so it is not a surprise if it is mentioned - and just remember that it doesnt matter how the baby arrives as long as he arrives safely and you are ok.
I cannot stress enough the need for you to REST and avoid stress at the moment. I know this is hard for you in the best of circumstances, but you have been dealing with your mum being away brilliantly - just look at what you have achieved....dealing with the council, sorting out getting the midwife to see you - be proud of yourself!

Well I'm planning to atleast get my bedroom and living room decorated before I do any moving, My aunts coming with me with my next scan on the 6th and going to ask if I can get a date for being induced if I'm still on the verapamil (find out about that on 27th). Apparently Verapamil either stops or slows down natural labour so I'll get induced, not only that but midwifes worried about me getting pre-eclampsia because I've had my face swelling and bad swelling of my hands (they swell up so much I can't bend them sometimes) and I've been seeing spots and feeling very nausious all day long. but my blood pressure is currently 135/75 so not quite high enough for diagnosis and i only have traces of protine in my urine test. So I've pretty much been told only do what I really have to do (sorting out pets mostly and cooking) and spend the rest of the time trying to relax and not stressing about everything lol but plans are when i get the house, I get to go choose flooring for livingroom and bedroom (maybe babys room too if grant comes through in time) I decide what colours and where its going then I get to watch brother decorate lol mum and brother and his mate are going to be doing all the moving i get to just decide where everythings going. Then I can work on the rest of the house slowly two main rooms will be ready before i move in properly :3 but all in all i pretty much just point and shout orders lol |

oh that's not good, please take it easy, i think i would do a bit at a time once you have the keys and maybe move after the baby is born now as that is going to take you dangerously close to the due date. Have you got lots of people who can help you out? |

Yeah I'm really happy that first off I even managed to call her back to arrange it and then that I managed to get through the days and it was worht it in the end :3 It was a very good day. Wait till wednesday to find out when I'm getting the keys now. Brother went to look around the house the other day, I hadn't told him someone was still there till Monday, made me laugh when he said he had gone into the back garden looking around and looked through the window and said to his mate mike who was with him "I'm sure there's someone in there!" But he says it looks very nice, its big and the gardens huge and has a nice stone shed in it. |

YAY!! That's so exciting. I was reading through the thread with bated breath and felt really nervous myself waiting to see what the outcome was. You must have been going nuts waiting to hear . I'm sooooo happy for you and like Kallog said, you've done this all on your own. Well done you!!! |

That is fantastic news Twi. You must feel so happy and proud of yourself. It took me ages to get my house how I wanted it so don't worry about rushing to get everything done at once, the most important thing is you and bambino. And if they are putting the kitchen in before you move in which is the most likely scenario then you will probably have a couple of weeks to get sorted before you can move in. |

REST!
Lol don't worry I can;t do anything until mum gets back from belfast and she's stuck there cause of this volcanic ash. Copusin says it looks like its going to be several days of flights beign grounded, and thats if the volcano stops or wind changes. Driving me nuts cause I'm pretty much housebound at the moment and its making me stir crazy lol, usually i'd go for walk or something but i just walk to end of street and back and end up with cramping in stomach lol Brother threatened to come pick me up today and take me round his to see my new niece but havent heard from him yet xD
