So after my blog the other day I realised there was a few things I left out, lets see if I can remember them.
The first is that B and I went out a few more times but in the end I just couldn't get my mind into the zone it should have been in for him, it was like I already have so much going on in there I couldn't get any more in. It wasn't fair on him to not be able to give him the attention he deserves. So I explained all that to him and he understands, we are going to try still be friends which I would like. Especially being so far away from my best friend S.
Also a thing I have been meaning to note just in case JJ ever asks me if I had cravings while pregnant with him. Not that he probably will, it never occured to me to ask my Mum until I got pregnant and I don't believe that will be happening to JJ. But here they are, eggs, mushrooms and chicken - and maybe nutella, I can't decide if that is a craving or not. But yeah it seems to be protien, in the forms of Eggs Hollandaise, mushrooms cooked pretty much any way but in large quantities, and McDonalds chicken nuggets, you know the seasoned batter ones? It really makes you realise how crumbed nuggets don't match up when you are truly craving them, haha.
I think there was one other thing but I must go because we are about to leave for the birthday / baby shower weekend :)

It's about time.
Ahh well, Glorious Foxtel is being installed as I write so since I haven't managed to update in quite a while I should probably do it now before I have the added distraction of Foxtel.
So 26 weeks now! 14 to go! CRAZY!
Also had gotten to point with Centrelink and job agency that I was required to if not find a job, then be placed in 30 hours a week of voluntary work or training. Which to be honest I don't think I am currently physically up to - Pregnancy is full on!
So had a chat to my doctor and between her and Centrelink it was agreed the best action would be to get a medical certificate starting my too pregnant to work exemption early, so that is done and a huge stress off my shoulders. They did however inform me I don't really have an option about chasing J for child support, but that the agency can do it for me. I just don't want to fight with him or be given any more false promises. I don't want anything from him but if not asking him for money means getting next to no money from Centrelink to live on I don't really have an option.
Moved in to new house with Mum and Dad this week, its lovely and big. And of course will be all the better for having Foxtel in it! One in each lounge room, ahhh.
Started unpacking JJ's room yesterday, sorting things out, starting to feel a bit better about that (except for the bruise and chunk missing on my foot from where I dropped a cupboard on it). It currently has a bug bomb going off in it because there seem to be lots of gross black spiders around - My room is next! The rest of the house is a bit harder because its so open plan and the cat refuses to go outside.
Next weekend is my baby shower / birthday getaway to a retreat in the country with Mum and my sisters, hopefully will be really good if we can all try not to kill each other. One sister is coming down here a couple of days before and the other sister is going to come back here on the day we leave the retreat to show me how to set up all the stuff she gave me - cots, change tables, various other objects of what purpose I am yet to discover.
Then comes my favourite time of year, tax return time. Be assured, by July 1 my tax return will be completed online and well on it's way to appearing in my bank account. At which time I shall pick up all the stuff I have laybuyed for JJ, pay off my bills and give Mum and Dad a chunk to get us in advance on bills here, and then arrange to have the rest of my stuff sent over from my Aunts house. Lovely! Shall be so excited if any money remains after that, but just getting those things done will be a good start.
So baby appears to be coming along perfectly by all reports. And my iron isn't too low for a change. He kicks and squirms quite regularly now. I am still trying to catch some kicks for Mum, but it seems when I call her over or move he goes all shy (I think she is a bit offended - maybe he will kick her when he comes out). I took advantage of no one being here to monitor my naughty lifting of heavy things etc yesterday and did a massive amount of unpacking and moving of boxes and a little furniture. Can't say I regret doing it because the house now at least looks a bit like a house and I can sit on a couch without climbing through mountains of boxes, but yes I do agree it was a bit stupid and JJ was a little put out and my back was very put out, but considering, we both seem to feel OK today so that's good!
Well Foxtel guy is still working away but I may go air out the bug bombed room and put some more washing on anyway. Finally after a week of day and night pouring rain we have sunshine!
