I had Braxon Hicks contractions for the last two nights in a row now. It was pretty bad last night, most of the contractions were painful and lasted longer than the previous night. However, we are pretty prepared for labour and baby now so there's not much to worry about.
We were pretty busy this weekend. I went to Thai International Dinner and we sent away one of our friend to Wellington. It's hard to see our friend go, and this girl is so bubbly. We will have to take a road trip to see her and also see Wellington some time. My sister is also having a busy weekend, going to the Thai dinner with me and a BBQ get together on Saturday, a ball in Auckland on Saturday night, which she didn't attend because she was too tired from the sport/BBQ event on the same day. One of the guys from BBQ was taking photos of her and complimented her short pants! It was good to be complimented by a guy and I am sure she had a nice time there.
I tidied the living room and packed the family papers into the filing cabinet. When I say papers, I meant mostly bank statements lying around in the living room. I also put the business papers on the desk in the shop room. I haven't made the final payment for business visa this month so I won't pack everything away yet. There's also GST for last month to do, and I think I will do it this week when I have time. I better get it done sooner rather than later, because we don't know when the baby will come. I don't think I will be able to do it after the baby is here since I will be super busy.
We've also changed the living around a bit. There will be a play area/rumpus behind the sofa. I moved the sofa closer to the TV so we don't have to squint at the screen. See, instant bigger TV! Genius. I also plan to play my cello or sew behind the sofa, and the Foosball table can be used again now there's some space. I am very happy about this development.
I also told husband that he can claim back his half of the wardrobe in our bedroom, which he did promptly last night. He couldn't find his clothes this morning because all of them have changed address! So funny. I asked him to put my winter coats and winter tops into the other closet in the shop. That closet is now full of clothes and I also put the picnic bag on the top shelf in there.
There's still DVD games and computer parts in the closet in the baby's room. They will have to go somewhere somehow. I planned to put the DVD on the bookshelves in the living room, and I don't know where to store the computer parts. Maybe put them in the garage? Or dump them? I will have to ask him.
The weather is still pretty great in the morning, apparently it will rain the rest of the week! Cripes. We have already done so many loads of washing during the weekend, I don't think I will continue this morning. However, I might put on another load this week some time and may have to use the garage to hang the clothes up if the weather is going to turn to custard.
I plan to take a walk in the mall again today. I also hope that my daily contraction routine will go better tonight. Now I know it's not real labour, I feel much better. But somehow, I wish that I don't have to go through any more of these because they really aren't rewarding like real labour!
