poor mummy hasn't had a very good week at all this week. so she's written this one off and has said she will start her maternity rest/leave next week.
Mummy's cat Jessy got sick on Tuesday morning and mummy has been ever so worried about her all week, on Friday Jessy cat went to heaven which sounds like it might be a nice place as mummy told Jessy she would be able to chase as many gerbils and birdies as she liked and there wouildn't be any glass tanks in the way and no one would shout at her when she catches them. mummy and dadday said it was terribly sad that we won't get to meet Jessy cat as they think we'd have all been really good friends, but they still have Flashy who is just going to have to get used to the doubled up attention.
so, what have we been up to this week? well, we've tried to be nice as we can tell mummy has been upset, but we have had to practice our wiggling and stretching to make sure we're strong. we're piling on lots of that squishy baby fat that mummy and daddy are looking forward to kissing and blowing raspberries on and we've made our bump to make 125cms now!
we are both a bit more than 3lbs and will be adding to that quite a bit over the next couple of weeks, so can expect to make our bump even bigger... mummy said today that she hopes we don't go mad as the tape measure only goes up to 150cms!
On Monday mummy stayed in for the shed base to be built and the boiler to be serviced, then she went for a walk with daddy in the evening, and they saw this little bunny...
it wasn't frightened and stayed there for ages. mummy and daddy said they think we're all going to like going for walks in the woods together.
on Wednesday mummy had to go and see the midwife, even mummy is in daddy's camp now and is annoyed with her. mummy was there on time and a lady who turned up over half an hour late was still seen before mummy. once in there mummy told the midwife which way round we are after the scan (heads on mummys left, same way we've been for the last 10 weeks) but the silly lady still thought that Bean 1's bottom was the head... mummy wonders if the midwife might be a little bit deaf, she said that would be better than being plain stupid. there was a trainee midwife in there too, she couldn't find either of us and then kept losing our heartbeats. honestly we kept nice and still for that bit but she still swooshed the recorder stick thing all over the bump, she's as silly as the real one! mummy's poor feet and hands have swollen up a bit more, her blood pressure was very high and she has been really, really itchy this week. daddy said he'd get a bear post in the garden and she can just go and scratch against that, mummy said she'd like that very much please. so the midwife decided mummy had better have her blood tested to make sure there was nothing wrong.
mummy says that even that was a cock up. apparently the lady didn't tie the strap around mummy's arm tight enough so thats why the trainee stuffed up the first blood sample. and then dropped the vial on the floor anyway, so even if it was a good one, it was going in the bin. so over to the other arm, strap a bit tighter, ok, 2 goes at getting the needle in, fair enough she was probably nervous (the trainee not mummy) and then finally the bloods were taken. hoo flippin ray mummy was thinking.
so mummy's bloods were ok in the end, and she thinks that the blood pressure was because she was worried about Jessy cat and the swelling and itching is because she wasn't really taking it easy this week, no need for the stupidness after all. but mummy does have to go and have her blood pressure checked next week at the doctors.
so on Thursday mummy got up and Flashy cat was sick, she had blood in her wee, which mummy only noticed because Flashy cat went for a tiddle behind the tv unit! so back to the vets mummy went. Flashy has another bladder infection, becuase she's fat and also because the different food she's been on. 2 big injections later mummy was able to bring her home again. daddy bought some fancy food for her, and they have to give Flashy a tablet every night as well. today she seems to be better which is good. mummy said at least she was home this week otherwise they might never have known what the cats were up to.
Friday was a bad day, mummy and daddy went to see Jessy cat for the last time and said their goodbyes and told her how much they loved her. Mummy says it wasn't really her catty anymore and that she'd probably had her last cuddle with her Jessy cat on Monday before she got really sick.
mummy said we're not allowed pets because it's too sad when they go, but daddy said we can because it's so lovely when they're here and a part of our family. we can wait a while and we're sure that Flashy is going to be enough cat for us all for a few years until we decide what critters are our favourites and what we'd like to take care of and love so much.
this is our bump today...
we'll start proper, nice maternity leave next week and hopefully mummy will be nice and relaxed and we will be practicing all our wiggling and getting stronger for when it comes to us hatching.
write soon
lots of love
