7 weeks 2 days ish - gender dream and house stuff

I had my first gender dream last night. It was a little boy. Although at first the doctors weren't sure (even though it was a dream of the birth). Also for some reason I ended up giving birth while on the loo (!!!) and it happened surprisingly quickly after my waters broke (also while I was on the loo). I dreamed that we named the baby boy, but then I couldn't remember what we named him, and also I forgot to get his measurements at birth for the birth announcement.

On other news, Jonathan and I spent best part of the day putting together the wardrobe for our bedroom :) We have two things missing, and one of the doors is damaged, but the missing things are stuff we can do later, they're 2 of the drawer rails, so we'll just wait til they arrive and then fix them on later. We've built the main frame (including slotting the flimsy back into the grooves - what a frustrating bit to do! In at the bottom, pops out at the top.. ah well, got it done eventually!), and put the top on (I had one bit waaaaay above my head and helped maneuver it into place). Jonathan stood on a stool to screw the top into place (he's tall, but not THAT tall!) All we have left are the drawers to put in, and the doors to put on, and the last few little bits and pieces.

We were thinking about putting it in the spare bedroom, and getting fitted wardrobes for the main bedroom, but in the end we just decided it would be enough for our clothes, and we just kept it for our main bedroom. We fiddled around with arrangement of the chest of drawers and where the one I haven't built yet would go, and we SHOULD have enough room for a cot as well by the wall once everything's in place. We DESPERATELY need more storage space. The back spare bedroom is CHOCKA with boxes, and just basically a load of crap. We neeeeeed to get more bookcases, and cupboards, and stuff. We have a half empty box in the kitchen where we cannot put stuff because we have less cupboard space in this kitchen compared to the last kitchen! If we sort out all the spare glasses and mugs we're not likely to use for a long time, then we can put them in the loft for when the ones we use get smashed. Then that might free up the cupboard space for the other stuff. Sheesh, Would be so nice to just do the garage extension already and extend the kitchen into a kitchen/diner. And the other half of the garage into a study (so Jonathan has to move all the computers and stuff again - oops! :P ) and maybe add a little storage cupboard or something in there for the vacuum cleaner, tools, so on, etc. Here I go, dreaming away :) I'm sure we'll do it eventually - Jonathan hasn't got round to using the garage to store the car yet, he thinks it will be too much hassle to get out of the car, open the garage, into the car, into the garage, out of the car, close the garage... every time he has to go in or out. Besides, there's a huge mountain of empty boxes there at the moment *ahem* :) Another job to do - flatten and shove up in the loft.

Anyway, I'll wrap up this entry for now. Thanks for reading!
