Make it start!
Posted Feb 6, 2007
Not long back from the midwife for my 38 week check. Baby seems to be healthy enough and kicked the midwife when she examined my belly as it always does, but it seems that baby's being stubborn and its head hasn't dropped into my pelvis; at this stage it should have started the descent but not this little bugger! It's also in an awkward position (its back is against my back), which makes it fairly likely that it's going to be a late baby. 
Not if I can help it!
The midwife suggested the usual hot curry/sex/long walk methods to help get things goingand I've heard about many others, but I wondered if any of you lot had any good suggestions? I'd trust them more if they came from people I know!

Curly finger syndrome
Posted Feb 5, 2007
One of the rubbish parts of being pregnant is the water retention. I currently suffer from swollen hands, feet and face and it ain't the most attractive look. However, yesterday as I was stretching I made a fist with my right hand and when I straightened my fingers out something horrible happened. Imagine my reaction when my ring finger stayed curled! Ew!
It's not stuck or anything, I got it straightened again, but every so often it gets stuck in the same position. Although it's not serious and is just caused by the swelling, it's really freaky all the same - and now my middle finger is threatening to do it too...urgh!

Unfortunately it is too good to be true, but imagine if you could take this baby into Stratholme...

Ivor Cutler vs First Bus
Posted Jan 17, 2007
Alright alright, obviously it wasn't the real Ivor 
but still...
Anyway.
Normally I hate getting on the bus round our way but today was quite entertaining thanks to 'Ivor'. You know those buses with the two spaces at the front for priority passengers, i.e. elderly, people with prams, etc? Ivor was sitting in one of those spaces when a girl comes on with her pram. She couldn't sit in the other space as another mum was there with her buggy so the bus driver asked Ivor to move to another seat. Old Ivor wasn't having any of it so the poor girl had to wedge her pram in sideways and stand. Round 1 to Ivor.
Round 2. When we got to the bus station Ivor started having a go at the bus driver for victimising old folks and stuff, merely because the driver told Ivor he had to move, but funnily enough nobody on the bus seemed to be very sympathetic for this old guy who was clearly quite fit and able for his age. The bus driver then explained that he is always first on the bus and insists on sitting in the same seat, even when the bus is completely empty. And when someone needs to put their pram/buggy in that space he makes the same arguments.
Poor Ivor; he was looking round at us for support and all we could do is giggle at this silly guy - he wasn't a happy bunny!

Bloody Burning Crusade
Posted Jan 16, 2007
For the uninitiated, the Burning Crusade is the new expansion pack for World of Warcraft. Yes, I am geeky enough to have preordered it 
Currently loading the discs now wondering why in the hell does an expansion pack have FOUR CDs, same as the game itself, and why they can't just bung it onto a couple of DVDs instead? But then again, if you've ever played any of Blizzard's games it doesn't really come as a surprise. They ain't exactly the brightest bunch at the best of times...
