My week in a nutshell

Rhianna had her doctors appointment on Tuesday to make sure that her urine was clear of infections (due to her recent accidents and her teachers concern that she was incontinent!) It was all clear.

Wednesday Rhianna had another appointment to see the Enuresis nurse at the Kirkley Centre, here is a picture of her building a school while waiting to be called in.

The nurse does not think she is incontinent because if she was her wee would be dribbling down her leg all the time. Rhianna's accidents started when she went to nursery and she would really hate change and being away from me, it's still going on 2 years later and we are looking at possible separation anxiety. She had bladder/kidney scans which came back clear. She dislikes being away from me and will try all sorts to stay at home, at the end of the day she is one of the youngest in her class (5) her birthday isn't until June, they do start school younger and younger nowadays, she was spending 5 days a week 6 hours a day away from me just as she turned 4 years. The nurse is going to speak to the Consultant and try come up with a plan of action as Rhianna is still going through 2-3 pairs of clothes at school a day. I will update more on this when we know more. I also attended toddler group with my youngest that afternoon as we do every wednesday, such a lovely, friendly group.

On Thursday i had my midwife appointment which i updated about below if you would like to see. 

On Friday Rhianna had her hydrotherapy appointment she has this once a week on a Friday afternoon for her Perthes disease. It was also my due date on Friday and i took some maternity pictures of myself (see below) and here is one i didn't get round to sharing. The candle is to say "Happy due date" to me, but now the kids think it was the babies birthday and is going around saying "The babies birthday was yesterday!" bless them lol.

Saturday the morning was spent inside and then in the afternoon we decided to go on a little bike ride around the bloke a few times as the kids were missing the fresh air. 

Lucas my 2 year old on the scuttlebug, he can't ride a proper bike yet but the scuttlebug is getting abit too small for him, bless him.

Lacey my 4 year old.

Rhianna my 5 year old.

After we did our ride around the bloke we went into town and treated ourself to Mcdonalds, one of our favourite takeaway places to eat at. We had a lovely afternoon and headed back home to try and fix the tent onto Lucas new bed! We got him a mid-sleeper earlier this week as he had outgrown his toddler bed, his room is really small so we needed something we could hide toys under to make his room a bit bigger, it looks much better now and he even has some space to play. (excuse the pile of washing these are the clothes that do not fit him yet, they were under his toddler bed in a drawer and now we have nowhere to store them!!)

Tomorrow is sunday and we have no real plans.. it would be nice if i could go ahead and have this baby boy! we will see what tomorrow brings.

First Post

  You will have to bare with me, I haven't done a blog for a while and i am starting a total fresh, i have tried adding some widgets etc so hopefully they work, anyway....

*waves* If you haven't read the page all about me and my piglets, head on over! and if you have, welcome. :-)

Today has been a pretty uneventful day as far as *fun* goes. I dropped my 4year old off at school then took my 5year old to the doctors (along with the 2year old! oh and my 39 week baby bump) we popped to Tesco to get some ingredients in for tonight's dinner (spaghetti bolognase, mummy & daddy pigs favourite). Rhianna (5yr old) wanted a cream cake so as she was good at the doctors i let her have one, we dropped the shopping home and i took Rhianna back to school, finally i went home and crashed with the bump! that lasted all of 5 minutes before my son (2yr old) was demanding snacks and doctor Mcstuffin on the TV.
I am currently waiting for my sons new bed to be delivered, as he has outgrown his toddler bed (ok mummy might of sat on it and snapped the slats...) he is getting a proper big boy bed now, Argos rang and said they would be here within an hour.. well within the hour i have to leave to get my girls from school, this might be fun, running to school to get there on time.

I am due with piglet #4 on Friday (much to the nurses surprise today, she thinks i am small, makes a change, everyone else thinks i am going to pop any second or i must be carrying twins). The last few days i have had a bit of hip/back ache and a few tightenings but nothing regular, i am hoping he either comes a few days early or on my due date, i really do not want to go 12 days over again (Thanks Lucas!) or even 5 days over (Thanks Lacey!) so keep your fingers crossed for me that this baby boy decides too be kind to mummy ;-).

My plans for the rest of the week consists of more appointments - Rhianna has a visit at the enuresis clinic tomorrow (that's a whole new post) and then Thursday i have my midwife appointment & Friday Rhianna has her hydrotherapy appointment and hopefully i will be having a baby??
