Thank you all for your kind words. I took the advice of giving him a massage last night and he seemed to really appreciate it, then we had our snuggle and I fell asleep feeling like we were just as close as ever... Today is a new day, and thanks to Dominic's persistence last night there is significantly less to do today so DH has said that I can spend the day sorting out baby stuff and putting stuff into draws if I want ('cause I've been really wanting to do that but have had more important things to do)...
Cparks1, we don't really have any close friends about.... I was at college when I fell pregnant and most of my friends there either lost interest and disapeared when I got pregnant, or have gone to uni far away so I can't call on them

Dominic doesn't know too many people in the area because until I got pregnant we had a long distance (200 miles) relationship and the only people he knows down here are my family and 'friends' - I feel a bit guilty about that, too. But he has just joined a model train group down here and has met some people he gets on really well with so hopefully it won't be long until he has new friends with common interests here, too.
The house situation isn't looking so daunting - DH got a hell of a lot done last night... Just need to finish plumbing the washing machine in and put everything in their places and set up the PC on the desk.... and I have DH's go-ahead to get on with the easier and more enjoyable task of sorting out the bedroom - putting baby's stuff into the right places and putting everything just where I want it and finding our photos and things I want in shelves there... making the place more like home really. In honesty I'm really quite excited about that bit! (Maybe that's this nesting instict that I've heard about? Or maybe it's just having a home I can call ours for the first time ever...!)
Thank you all again, - your kind words made me feel so much better, and gave me a practical solution meaning we went to bed happy - cause if i'd gone to bed feeling down when I was going to last night things could have been a lot worse and I'd no-doubt still be feeling crappy today!

to everyone!
