We have a lot of bits and pieces to sort out and put up in the loft, which shouldnt really take much time to do, but OH has had to lay more floorboards in loft for the stuff to be able to go up there. Up until now, he hasnt had a chance, or hasnt been able to borrow his dads car to be able to go and buy the wood. He finally got the chance this weekend and has spent most of the time up there doing it. My dad had already laid a small amount for us when he fitted our loft hatch, BUT this afternoon OH discovered that my impatient, incompetent bloody father Had laid boards ON TOP of wiring and had pinched one of the wires, and had screwed through another! Luckily he only caught the edge and missed the actual wire. So OH then had to take up all the boards my dad had done to check for any other f**k ups. He found another on top of a wire, in a place where he could have easily chissled the wooden beam so that it didnt squash the wire. He had also done the loft hatch a bit wrong too.
Anyways, all of this has meant that OH has had to spend extra time up there sorting it all out, instead of today actually being able to sort through things and put them up there.
We currently have boxes of things all down my side of the bed where we need space for the birth, and then the crib, bags of clothes that are at the moment too small for me infront of our drawers and dresser, and boxes in Brandon and Faiths bedrooms as well as a couple downstairs. All which need to go in the loft and a couple sorted through to chuck or freecycle stuff.
Well now OH is working all week doing shifts which will make it impossible to do any of it, and i cant do it on my own. Then next monday 28th is Faiths birthday, and we have her that weekend so nothing will get done then either, then OH is doing another week of horrible shifts. We will have 1 or 2 days that we MAY be able to get stuff done, and i dont think it will be enough with Brandon around as well.
Ive almosted admitted defeat because of this alone, and may just go for hospital birth to prevent any stress from it all.
Then to top it all off!! OH parents have been down at Bournemouth all week to see his Mums parents as they live down there. His grandparents paid for a weeks caravan stay for them to be able to see them. They came back yesterday and we today find out that his grandparents have booked for them to go again on 17th Oct! 4 days after im due, but his grandparents are trying to change it for the week before, so they will be away when im due.
They know im due on 13th as well because they were/are meant to be coming up this way on the 12th, and we told them i was due the next day on 13th.
I did wonder if there is something they arent telling us all (maybe one of them ill or something) and are trying to spend as much time with OH mum as possible by paying for them to go and stay down there but were not sure.
Anyways, with all of this, if they are away when im due, then i have no one to have Brandon when im in labour, or Faith if shes here as well. We planned on having the in laws having him because they dont live far from us and its easy for them to come and get him if i have homebirth, and easy to drop off if i have hospital birth. Without them here i dont know what were going to do! I have a family friend who has looked after him a few times before, but it will only work with her if i have homebirth as she is too far out from the hospital. I dont trust or know any of the neighbours enough and my family, well, Brandon doesnt even really know who any of them are!
Im feeling sorry for myself again because it just feels like everything wants to go against me and make it as hard as possible.
Sorry for the moan and theres no need to reply, just needed to get it all off my chest!
I have sorted through most of my stuff and boxed/bagged them up, it just needs taking up really. 
) Then once the madness settles down a bit, we can take bits down gradually to sort through and throw away, freecycle or sell.
