Less than 40 days to go.....

It's starting to hit me now that our entire lives are going to change in less than 6 weeks!!!

I've finished work.. so that's the first good thing. It's enabling me to be able to rest and potter around instead of coming home from work and being too tired to even cook dinner.

We had our baby shower yesterday and it was a great turnout. A lovely afternoon at a beautiful location. I feel very lucky to have so many great friends and family who are all wanting to be a part of our little man's life. We also got showered with many gifts - which were not expected at all. Everyone was so generous! (Although - you could have washed the clothes and wraps for me!!! he he he!!!) I don't think that there is anything that's been brought that won't be used.

The only downside was how exhausted both Stu and I were last night... we managed to reheat some sausages and rissoles.. and boil the kettle to make some deb (instant potato has become my bestest friend lately!) We then rolled into bed and stayed awake til 8.30 so the dogs could be put out to do their thing and then I think we both pretty much zonked out! I was pretty stoked when I woke up at 6 to go to the toilet thinking it was 3 and hoping that I would be able to get back to sleep!!!

The weather is a bit dodgy today but because my darling put up my undercover washing line... I can still do some washing!! woot woot! (must be nesting cause I don't get excited about washing... like... ever!)

I'm still buggered and will be eating sponge cake and sausages for the rest of the week.. but I'm content. I'm very thankful that today is a Public Holiday for Stu so that he can get some rest before having to go back to work tomorrow.

On the baby front - He's doing great. Had a scan on Friday to check his sizes etc due to the Gest Diabetes and he's within range. My readings have been really low of late so I've been eating some bad food to try and get them back to where they need to be... Haven't had any Hypo attacks or anything.. just feeling mega tired! I have a hospital appointment on Wednesday, the next one will be in two weeks and then it's weekly visits from then on until he makes his grand entrance! Despite the pain.. I can't wait to meet him!

Hope everyone is doing well! Will keep you updated!
