I'm really not enjoying myself here at all and that's mainly because people
won't give us any space and they're treating Claire like an invalid. They
won't let her do anything they have to do it for her and I know it's not
just me who's bothered by it. Mum doesn't have any other double beds apart
from her own and one in Jamie's room so Claire is in my room and because
both of my brothers and Jamie's girlfriend are here it means I'm sleeping
on the sofa. I don't sleep at night any more because I can't go to bed
until everyone else has gone and I can't get to sleep because the sofa
hurts my back too much.
Claire has just told me that her back is really hurting her and that's because the matress on my bed is no good. I'm going to have to talk to my mum and get her to move Claire out of my room because this is meant to be a unstressful holiday not a stressful and painful one! It's still early so Claire is trying to get some more sleep whilst I go and talk to my mum.
Mum we need to talk!
Gaynor: Don't use that tone with me Ian and anyway its do you have time to talk please mum?
Well do you?
Gaynor: Yes if you're quick.
I want you to move Claire into a different room.
Gaynor: Why?
My bed is hurting her back because that matress is old.
Gaynor: It's going to hurt anyone's back who sleeps on it.
Yeah but Claire's pregnant!
I walk off and ignore my mum, I can hear her saying something but I don't care and anyway its not too long until we'll be leaving and going back to the comfort of our own home. Time does seem to be going rather quickly here and now there's only five days until my birthday so I'm going to have to think of some excuse to why I don't want a party or why I just want to spend the evening alone with Claire. My mum will be planning something, I just know she will.
At the moment I'm just making Claire some breakfast then we'll go for a little drive to get away from my annoying family, I'm starting to think it was a big mistake coming here. I know I should be happy because they all love Claire so much but I just think that they're being a bit over powering that's all.
Gaynor: Ian I've talked to your brothers but they've decided that because you're going home in two days that there's no point in changing rooms.
One day actually!
Gaynor: No but you'll be staying till tomorrow evening won't you? And anyway I thought you were going to stay until the day after your birthday.
No we won't, we'll be going first thing tomorrow morning. Actually I think we'll go right now!
Gaynor: Ian you don't have to.
I shout to Claire and get all our bags ready before putting everything in the car. Claire comes downstairs and says bye to everyone and I even heard her apologising to my mum which I'm not happy about. This wouldn't of happened if my mum had thought things through properly. Claire gets in the car and I turn to my family and all I can bring myself to say is "See you around." I hear my mum muttering on about the baby and to make sure I ring her as soon as Claire goes into labour but I'm not going to because they will just all jump straight into the car and arrive at the hospital and that's not what I want. When our baby enters the world it will be mine and Claire's special moment, nobody elses!
