9 months comes to a close

I am currently 38.5 weeks, the pic below is a week ago, I can feel myself getting bigger by the day!
Phew! I'm not hugely uncomfortable (yet!) but think I will be getting that way if I am overdue. My midwife said yesterday that bubs is not quite low enough, or engaged, yet, so she thinks I definately wont come early! On my due date would be lovely thanks! but apparently only 3% of women come on or before their due date.
So here I sit, waiting, wondering......

Baby Shower







































I just realised that I hadnt put anything on here about our baby shower which was a few weeks ago, I say 'we' cause we decided to include the guys at the party! it was fun, and a great way for cam to be included, it was a pretty relaxed afternoon, we tried not make it too 'girly' and limited it to 2-3 baby shower games! mostly it was a fantastic chance to catch up with all our best friends in one room, quite overwhelming with about 40-45 people there at one point!
Seriously, how cute are the little Nikes? and the one of me is with my friend Bex, who has just had her baby this week, exciting!
Mum and I made the pink cupcakes, was a lot of fun.
We got some gorgeous gifts, and all things that we needed which was great.
This might be a little 'too much info'!! haha.. but a good record of how im growing!
this is just over 36 weeks, check out my sway back, no wonder it gets sore.
have gone thru about three different bra sizes. now im at the dilema of what size breastfeeding bra to buy? help anyone?!

no more couch time

Our midwife appt yesterday saw us writing up a birth plan, i think we have it sorted...

1. go into labour
2. go to hospital
3. push baby out

its that easy isnt it?!

Ive also been told I'm not to lounge on the couch anymore so that the baby gets, or stays, in the right position.
What the heck am I 'sposed to sit on? i tried a dining room chair, but that lasted about 10 minutes, and was damn uncomfortable to try and relax and watch tv. I might look into getting a swiss ball.
Ho Hum... 5 weeks to go, have I been pregnant FOREVER?
I really am looking forward to finishing work now, im just getting so over it... funny how i used to love my job (and actually really still do) but when you have a milestone coming up like having a baby, the job just pales in significance.
