This is it!

Well today being November 9th, I am now officially 40 weeks and 1 day overdue.

Not completely over it yet, but with each passing day I am getting more and more impatient.

I am scared that I wont know when the 'labour' actually starts, as I have heard soooo many different stories about what people felt, like I have one friend that didnt feel anything in her belly, just back pain thats all. So now everytime I get a back twinge, I think 'is this it?!'

Anyway, Im hoping it will be a bit more obvious than all that.

Cams nervous, he woke at 6am this morning, I think he nervous also about up and leaving work in the middle of the day/week, and not knowing what day it will be, he trying to be as up to date as possible at all times. Hes very organised and fussy about his work load, so finds it hard to leave it to someone else to pick up. Oh and hes also nervous about bringing a new life into the world, and shes our responsibility to look after!!

Here's us yesterday:

more preggie pics

These booties were made by my grandma before she died, cute aye!

Well I am officially 40 weeks tomorrow (sunday 8th Nov) phew! i made it!

not holding my breath for anything to happen though, midwife reckons I will be at least 7-10 days overdue.

Oh, i have also decided that my blog is really boring, but I dont know how to change the background or anything, any help much appreciated!

Just a few.. the pic uploader on my laptop doesnt want to work very well, so will try again later. x

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.
