7 days to go now.............















It's been a peaceful day today, a very rare event in this house! For some reason, all seemed to run smoothly ( that is tempting fate, as it is not 10pm yet!), and I actually found myself twiddling my fingers, wondering what to do. I considered cleaning, but nothing seemed urgent, Tim was off school again, so I couldn't go out anywhere, and all the cats seemed pretty sleepy.




Now I know I am often heard to say, 'oh, I would love to be bored', but when you are actually bored.........well it is just that, BORING!




I should be enjoying the peace , because once the little babies are here, going by the size of Lily, there are going to be a few of them, I will be praying for more hours in the day, and wishing for that sense of boredom again. When I do, I must read this, and remind me, that boredom, really is not fun.




I cannot wait to have wee babies in the house again. I can't wait to see Lily more agile when she does not have to carry so much weight around. But she is brilliant, she does not complain. She sleeps, she makes a fuss of the others, she comes down stairs for some love and attention, and she eats. Her fur is in such good condition, which pleases me. She needs to be as healthy as poss to help her through motherhood. She is sitting opposite me as I type, on the stool in front of the dressing table. By the weekend, I need to start to prepare the box for birthing, and put the others out of the room. They are going to have to get used to sleeping on the landing again for a while, rather than in this room with me.




I took a few photos this evening, Lily and Carrie were eating the chicken that I had just put out ( which reminds me, I need to buy another chicken tomorrow), and I thought one of the shots showed just how big Lil is at the moment!
