We're on the countdown.. and I tell you... it's just not going fast enough for my liking...
If it's not the fact that I can't sleep cause of a) multiple pee trips or b) can't get comfortable... or c) cause bubby thinks it's playtime.... it's that he sit's up under my ribs and makes thing very very annoying...
I am also starting to get sore hips and back.. and I had the worst leg cramp EVER yesterday...
I am sooo tired and very thankful that my temp work finishes up at the end of this week. I know that I should be trying to get another couple of weeks from them so that we have a bit extra of a buffer.. but... nope... I just can't do it. (Even though they are only half days!!)
I haven't cooked dinner in over a week... we've had take-out - or stu's just reheated stuff.. I'm back at the early days point of having no idea what I want to eat until I actually want to eat it... Definately makes planning a menu hard. I am determined to cook something for dinner tonight after I finish the blog update.. We'll see how it goes! (If not... Stu can zap a pie!)
We went for our 3d scan a couple of weekends ago... and although I am biased.. and have to be... I think he is gorgeous! He's a definate mixture of the two of us.. Stu's eye's and face, my nose and chubby cheeks (just for grandma's and aunts to squeeze!) Chubba chubba lips too - not sure where they have come from! He's in love with his hands... always up around his face.. and there was a point that he was having a good ole munch on them! Fingers crossed this helps him to self settle once outside the womb!
I have also been given.. and purchased some cloth nappies... (given flats.. and purchased modern cloth ones..) I wasn't going to, but went to a baby expo/garage sale thing on the weekend and there was a lady with a stall there.. and they were just REALLY cute!!! Very expensive so I don't have many - and I don't intend to use them all the time.. just in case of bad rashes, or if I run out of dispo's or if I feel like it! I just think that using 1 a day will help to reduce our costs for nappies... as they aren't too pleasant on the bank balance...
We're all set to go with the Nursery. I have my hospital bag and nappy bag packed and sitting out near the computer... ready to go! I know there are still a few weeks to go - but it is never too early to be prepared right? The one thing I haven't done yet.. which is freaking me out a little, is putting the capsule into the car... Having car seats in there was never a problem, cause those were big kids... kids that could partially look after themselves... this little man when he comes home is going to be solely reliant on me.. and Stu... and that is just plain old scary!
We're having our baby shower on the 8th August at Sandgate. Can't wait to have that over with! I know it will be a lovely afternoon though.
So yeah - what was it I was going to do now...... ahhhh... cook - that's right... best get off my growing arse and do it eh?
Hope everyone is well!
