37 weeks

Wow 37 weeks, never thought I’d make it – from anout 33 weeks on I really started to lose it!! In between not being able to sleep and heartburn wow. I had the best nights sleep last night, didn’t have to pee, and no heartburn and Thomas didn’t come in to us until 5am, I just climbed into bed with him and got another 2 hours. Wow the world looks a different place when you have had sleep!! Despite wanting this to be very much over, I will miss my pregnant body, I love this bump!

I got my TENS in the mail yesterday too, so I’m all ready to go. I really hope it works as well as what it did last time as it was a life saver last time. As I didn’t have to go to the workshop on it (only watch the DVD) it brought back when I was pregnant with Thomas instantly! Now that the nursery is finished, and I’m just loving sitting in there, sooo very happy with it – though it was a lot of hard work it has really paid off. Now I’m just waiting and a little anxious about when I’ll go into labour and leaving Thomas alone. On the other side I’m very much looking forward to having the time to just bond with our little girl too. So that’s it from me – hopefully next time I post it will be from the hospital!! :)

Well I had MG this morning, we haven’t met up for 3 weeks as everyone has been sick at some stage. Currently just taking it easy as Thomas is down for a nap. I have had a lot of BH contractions today, sooo hoping to have this baby early!! Someone said today only 4 weeks to go, I seriously don’t see it like that, I’m hoping for 2 weeks max. I’m definitely doing everything in my power to make it happen that way. I see the ob Monday so hopefully he can shed some more light on things. So that’s pretty much me :)

1. How far along are you?33 weeks and 5 days

2. What symptoms are you experiencing?Lots of Braxton hicks, exhaustion, and heartburn!!

3. How are you feeling?tired and a little over it

4. Any doctor's appointments this week and how did they go?Have my doc’s appointment next week then I think I see him every fortnight. I weighted myself this week and have hit the 14 ½ kg mark, no wonder I’m slowing down!!

5. Anything big going on in your personal life (family, work related, moving, etc)?Just the usual external familr crap. However it’s looking more and more likely my brother is coming back to Melbourne to live – soooo excited as I’m very very close to him. Also have started using my slow cooker a lot more – god I love that thing!!! I had dinner made and cokking by 9am this morning!!!!! It will be ready by 5!!! YAYAY

6. Any questions?is everyone getting a lot of pressure on their cervix? Like the baby is dancing on it?? Sometimes I feel she is just going to fall out when I walk!!!! Don’t remember this with my first

7. Any belly pictures?Have to get off my A** and get some

8. Food cravings?Just sweet foods – hence the weight I think LOL

9. Favourite thing about being pregnant this week?Still watching her move, it is one of the most fantastic feelings something I’m going to miss. Also playing the game, what are you doing? And what position are you trying to get into now?? LOL

hoping it will be over soon

Oh boy did I have a bad night last night. Heartburn!! ARRRR I only had 2 very very minor runs with it with Tom. However this time around. I was up every 1/2hour. I bascially slept up right, however by the middle of the night this put sooo much pressure on my hips that my legs are killing me today. Topped with not a lot of sleep I feel I'm going crazy!! Poor lee has had to do everything at night. Last night he had to get up to the dog twice and Thomas once. Thomas actually fell out of bed, the first time. I still can't work out how he did it. He has a bed barrier and a very very small gap at the end of his bed and thats wherre he fell???? When we heard it Lee went running and there was Thomas on the floor a little confused saying "fall show" that his name for the funniest home videos!! He asked to be put back to bed and that we it. very very strange!!

Anyway, Thomas is still getting up too early about 5:30am, if we go in there and lay with him we can sometimes get another 1/2 - 1hour out of him. However this morning for the first time, he got him self up and came to our room. Again he has never done this. I was waiting for the day it happened as I knew it would scare the crap out of me. Sure enough it did. To wake up with a figure standing the in door way!!! I hope this isn't a trend that is going to continue!!

Well I’m off to Sydney today, have to pick up my dress at 12pm and make my way to the airport. I was given the all clear by the ob so its all good. My brother is also down from Sydney at the moment (flys home on sat in time for me to see him again LOL). He came over Wed night and boy we had some fun. I really miss not having him around. He wants to come back to Melbourne to live, and has the opportunity too in the next couple of months but his girlfriend doesn’t want him to. She doesn’t want him coming back and spending time with his friends again without her. I really really hope she changes her mind, I want my brother back home!!! J

As for little miss, she is still moving around a lot, although I’m guessing there isn’t a lot of room in there as I get digs here and there. Poor thing was really moving yesterday as I was under a bit of pressure to get my bridemaids dress to a dress maker to take in as it was falling off me. Didn’t think it was a good idea to flash my boobs to people on my friends wedding day LOL!!! Ok well that’s it I had better go and finish my packing

busy day - now I'm tired!!

Today has been busy. Lee picked up his car today (he traded it in for his 4WD) as he wanted something that we better to use in the city. I also took Thomas to playgroup. He seemed to enjoy it, and I’ll go back, however must see if I can pay as I go, not point paying for a term when I’m due in 8 weeks. They should let me do it, I hope. So as you can gather I’m feeling better, thank god!! Thomas still has a cough and running nose and I’m hoping that clears up soon, a little being sick. I see the Ob today at 4:30 and can’t wait for that either as I seem to have a lot of questions! Also my brother is down from Sydney today and is calling around tonight – surprise visit. He flys back on Friday and then I see him on Saturday!! LOL

Ok that’s me, I’m hungry and off to raid my empty fridge!

baby talk

I have the strangest feeling on my cervix lately, I see the ob tomorrow and how everything is ok. It has been like pulsating??? thats it. it could be Braxson hicks I guess, but who knows!!! hope he is going to let me fly this Thursday. for some reason I dont think I'm going to make my dd!!
