SO my efforts to be supportive and give up smoking along with the lovely F have drastically come off the rails, it was all going so swimmingly well until this morning when i was half way to work and had to turn around 'cause id forgotten to put out the bin. I was amazed, completely oblivious to the thirty or so i passed on the way down the street. So that caused was fag number one!

I allocated myself four for the day, along with my puffer, but much to my surprise I’d finished them by lunch, as I was much distressed by the news of being wrenched from my home store and sent to the rescue of another for the next two weeks, having to cancel my week off work (only hours after it being approved) and finding out that I was off on Tuesday, not Thursday so had to cancel the appointment to register with the doctor!!!. SO all in all not a great start to kicking the evil weed, but lets take it one day at a time!!!

On the baby front, we're still excited, I'm still shitting myself, and the lovely F is developing quite a sharp edge, which I presume is due to hormones, but to be honest, I'm a bit scared to ask. Its not that bad really, it just kind of washes over my head, sometimes i think the fact that I smile and say "of course baby" makes her even more annoyed. Like tonight when I told her about the bin incident, she got all worked up shouting "why didn’t you just call, its not like I couldn't have put it out", it was kind of comical.

But life is moving on, baby appointment has been postponed until later this week or next, it has to be a priority though! We bought prenatal vitamins and have started to research everything online, NHS Direct has a great section about pregnancy and stuff, its all so exciting!!! I can't wait to get everything confirmed so that we can start planning and organising. So much is going to have to change, its a bit overwhelming to think about it all.

I think one major change that is inevitable is that we have to move. At the moment, we're living with my cousin in a gorgeous rented house. I know for sure we're going to want our own space, and she definitely doesn’t want to live with a couple and a baby, but we're tied in our lease until next August, one month after the baby is due. I think we would prefer to move a lot before then to give us a chance to get moved in and settle down, I'm just not sure about breaking our lease and abandoning my cousin, there’s so much to think about, then to top it all off there’s all the baby stuff we're going to need - scary biscuits!!!
