in which I rabbit on about rather boring things
The sun has gone, the rain is here
My midwives have left my notes at my house and they’ve got lots of…umm…bits I object to. Like inaccuracies. And comments that I have agreed to do things I haven’t agreed to do. Hm. I’ve also been deemed “suitable” to breastfeed, apparently. Quite apart from the fact that “suitable” may be an understatement (since I’ve breastfed all four previous children for extended periods), I have to wonder what kind of thing might have made me “unsuitable”, and exactly what justifies judging someone as such
We were supposed to have friends over today, but they’re sick so not coming. Instead, I’m off out this afternoon shopping - groceries, mostly, but I’m also going to see if I can find a bed for Barney and a dresser for George and Freddy (since the perfect one in Argos is still out of stock - btw, just what is the point in putting an entire range of furniture on sale when you don’t actually have stock of any single piece of it?) And I definitely need more laundry baskets; it seems that each child added to a family introduces a requirement for at least three more baskets. However Barney has learned to do his own laundry now (note that I don’t say he’s actually doing it, just that he has learned how) so maybe the amount I do will be reduced soon. Not that I mind doing laundry really; it’s one of the few household duties where you actually see results - start with pile of dirty stinky clothes, end with pile of nice clean fresh clothes - instead of being like vacuuming or dusting where you only notice it if it hasn’t been done. And let’s face it, throwing a bunch of clothes into a washing machine and pressing a couple of buttons is hardly a huge effort. Minimal energy, maximum results - that’s my kind of housework ![]()

SUITABLE?????????????????????????
Whaty else did they put then?
Oh, they wrote that I’d agreed to a scan in the “near future” to check why the baby wasn’t head-down yet…uh, no, I said I might consider a scan nearer when I expect to give birth, if the baby still hadn’t spent any time head-down by then. As it is, I’m pretty sure it’s head-down now (one dose of pulsatilla!). And there was a bit about two of my babies having been unstable lies until after their due-dates, but that was actually only one (D). And they contacted my GP and the midwives from my old area without my permission, even though I’d made it clear that I wanted nothing to do with those midwives…that’s probably the bit that annoys me most.
Grrrrrr…..
