The ups and downs of our planned new life to NZ, warts and all!

The final countdown!Fri 25 April 2008
So its my last day as a single Mother!  Phew!  Can't hack it!  I've made the most of the last few days, yesterday catching up with Karonious, who I've not seen for sometime.  She looked fantastic and I must make more of an effort to drop by more often.  Pip didn't sleep much at all last night, Moons came in again, quite upset, talking about scary things in her room.  This time I decided to go and investigate. I didn't want her to become used to coming into our room, so we talked it through.  She cried a lot, I hugged her a lot and managed to get her back to her bed. She slept right through from then.  Pip was so noisy last night, I'm not sure if there's another tooth or what, she's quite cranky.  Today I have worked really hard upstairs, cleaning and vacumming, changing sheets, get the washing done.  The usual!  Its great to know that this is my last night. Moons has been really, really irritating today.  She just keeps talking and demanding things, its driving me bonkers.  Lack of sleep is making it really difficult to stay calm with her.  I'm gradually getting bigger and I feel very stiff now in the evenings and during the night.  Occasionally I feel some light movement in my belly, which is reassuring.  I promised the girls that later when we're shopping,we'll get some paint and some paper, so they can make Daddy some nice pictures.  Something I may live to regret!  I've got the worst heartburn in the world and last night I was sick again, but I think that's because of the acid reflux.  I've got Steve's flight details up in the computer and time zones for America so I know when he's arriving and leaving again.  He's only got an hour in the US, so I hope immigration don't go on for too long.  He also said he's way over the baggage allowance (oops!).  Apparantly Dad's got a contact at heathrow who might be able to help out.  Great, neglected to mention this before!  How surreal, this time last week I was so ill and wondering how the hell I was going to get through!  This time next week I'll probably be bickering with Steve and tell him to bugger off again!!  I just can't wait until today and tonight are over, eeeeeee!  Excited!

Cheers!Fri 25 April 2008

Karen
