BUT the Fed-ex guy dropped this off at the ungodly time of 8:30am this morning.
(yes it's a rubbish picture, my apologies)
Usually when you're told "before 12 noon", they arrive a little after 12 and waste your entire morning just because they can.
Now that box contains
Now this isn't the best view as I wouldn't have it facing outwards like that plus I intend to use the carrycot top to it for a while rather than the buggy top, but you get the general idea. I don't think you're all interested in the ins ans outs like me but I just had to show you thats all!!
However I've been told by Mum and one of my sisters that it's bad luck to unpack the pram. Well that's no fun is it? What do I do with a bloody great big box with baby booty in it and no willpower? I'm disgruntled.
Spooky thing is the fed-ex guy asked when my baby was due... and his wife is due a day after me. I guess it's not that spooky, but at 8:30 in the morning when my first cup of tea hasn't even been poured yet... well I thought it odd.
Ok, enough about babies- you're all thinking that I know ;o). I started a cross stitch last night- something I haven't done in a long time, mostly because it's hard on the eyes. The upside is though that it fits above the bump and not as hot to do.
I managed to do this much over a couple of hours last night
I think I got off to a fairly good start, though I didn't get to the exciting colours just yet. I think once I can focus properly and have surfed a few blogs I'll do a little bit more. It's not for me though. It's sort of a "borrowed" project. My sister does cross stitch and tapestry and is doing a series of these for her son's room. She still has a zebra and lion to do and as I was looking for something to do I offered to do the tiger and give it her back completed. I just hope she doesn't need it back really soon!
I still have builders merchants to wait for this morning. They said "first thing Monday morning" after cocking up friday and saturday delivery times... so we'll see if we actually get the ton of concreting sand and bags of cement for concreting our drive. The part where I'll begin to worry is when it's actually here and DB and my 2 nephews intend to do the concreting. I might go out just so I cannot spectate.
Now, where's that cup of tea....?

hello! thanks for the lovely comment on my blog. :) congrats on your soon to be here little bundle! I see no mention of whether it's a boy or a girl, so I'm supposing you're keeping it as a surprise? I was also thinking of making the pea pod set for a friend who's keeping her baby's gender a surprise as well. yours is so cute! I think it's inspiration enough for me to get started. :)
Hi, it takes me back reading all your pregnant talk. The only thing I would say about the pram is that it is a good idea to figure out how all the bits work before baby arrives - especially the car seat. Practice getting it into and out off the car and putting the pram up and down. EVERYTHING seems so much more compilcated with little one with you but it is worth it - will continue to read!
