I am Neurotic

Dear Sink,

I'm officially lost the plot. I nearly did a pregnancy test - 4 days past ovulation! Thankfully, I saw sense before I actually did (after many a website confirming that the hormone level wouldn't be great enough at this stage.) In my head I managed to haggle myself to 7 days past ovulation. I think I will have to give Keith the pregnancy tests to hide or I may pee on all of them before then. Argh! The days are ticking too slowly. I'm in two minds whether or not I am pregnant but hoping as the days pass I'll be more positive.

Second last night of Brownies before the Summer holidays tonight. I really enjoyed it - I was half dreading it all day; but always enjoy myself when I get there.

BRB - away to phone one of my breastfeeding mums.

Back - The lady is doing well. Her baby is 4 weeks and is having a growth spurt; frequent feeding to help increase her milk supply. Doesn't help when she has two other children to contend with!

Phoenix had his swimming lesson this morning. He did really well - has no fear of the water and kicking his legs really well. The instructor wants me to start showing him how to move his arms while kicking. I came home and told Keith I want Phoenix to be in the 2020 or 2024 Olympics for swimming. Yes, as I said, I am neurotic! Perhaps not as far as the Olympics, but I would like him to have a good swimming technique; anything after that is up to him. I will never become a pushy mum - just want Phoenix to be well-rounded.

I'm really tired, perhaps an early pregnancy sign.... Google.. LOL. I also have some pains in my tummy like mild cramp feeling; but think that is part of my neurosis coming through again.

I'm away to get my jammies on and curl up on the couch under a blanket - bliss!

Luv
Nat
