38 weeks and 1 day...

So we're still here. Lots of trips to the loo at night but lots of nice lie ins til after 8am - am feeling really relaxed and am getting into this life. Just in time for it to be turned upside down when the baby arrives, ha ha! Have got everything now, so whenever the baby does decide to put in an appearance that is just fine by us!
Am not so concerned about the birth; more what you are meant to do with this small dependent creature once you get home! We will just have to wing it and make it up as we go, just like all first time parents. And that has even come from our NCT teacher so it must be right! And it is so good to have people around us who can offer advice and reassurance so I am sure we'll suss it out at some point.
Seeing the NCT girls tomorrow for coffee in Priory Park - that will be our regular slot. I can just picture the scene - 8 girls cluttering up the cafe with their prams (mostly Bugaboo's by the sound of it!), annoying people falling over our changing bags, ha ha!

30 days to go!

Can't believe it! Finished work yesterday and didn't quite feel the relief that I had been feeling earlier in the week, I think it just feels a bit odd now, ha ha. Handing in the Blackberry was quite bizarre.... clearly a bit of an addiction, it will be odd having it back in July next year.
So, all that remains to be done is to relax lots, buy a baby monitor and a cot top changer, have coffee and lunch with several friends, and get into yummy mummy mode.... life has changed so much since 28th February when we found out I was pregnant. The whole world feels different now, it is pretty emotional but in a very good way. Can't wait to meet our little bubba.

35 weeks + 3 days

Went to see the midwife today and I am measuring 38cm which is meant to mean 38 weeks. As you can see from the heading this is ahead of where my dates say I am... I am therefore thinking I will either be early or have a monster child... ! Either way, baby is still head down hopefully to stay that way. I can feel the curve of the back down my right side, and little prodding hands and feet on the left. The heartbeat sounded good, and basically all is well! I haven't managed to take any photo's of me for about 6 weeks which is bad, really must as it will be a good memento to look back on.
We have 2 more NCT classes to go and the group is bonding. The boys are probably going out for beers and a curry soon... I am having tea and cake with a couple of my new friends on Wednesday next week.
Last day of work tomorrow which is highly exciting. Can't wait to relax properly and get mentally ready for what is about to happen. All life changing lovely stuff, bring it on!
