LOL, i thought i’d better write something, just in case your imagination’s running away ..
the easter long weekend was great! (aren’t all long weekends?) it went by so quick that i have to really think back about what happened … not much! i got some quality time with Jasper, and then the couch, and of course Regan (though he had to work for some of it). ate a fair chunk of easter egg and had a nice lunch at my parent’s house. my sister arrived back from a short trip to malaysia, so it was good to see her back in one piece (after my horrific time there, last).
i’m still working – so my days are busy with that. luckily, i have wednesday’s off now which gives me a chance to relax, hang out with Jasper and attend any appointments etc. there’s not alot of weeks left now, so i’m trying to make sure that i have time for myself – but somehow, i end up doing a billion other things instead!
my birthday’s in a couple of weeks time, so i’m looking forward to that 🙂 not that we’re doing anything (i can’t imagine actually getting up and around LOL), but i’ll also be 37 weeks (full term) and couldn’t think of a better present really. i’m very ready to meet this little one, but need to keep the bun in the oven at least until my dad gets back from malaysia (just before my birthday) and when my boss gets back from annual leave (early May).
so that’s my little update, hope you’re doing well too 🙂
ahhh here comes the last 6 weeks (or so) … definately feeling it but that’s to be expected 😉 some mild period like cramps, aching lower back and a waddle that rivals any duck in the city.
i had a check up today with the midwives — nothing to report other than my quacktastic waddle and normal last stretch aches. more good news – baby is head down and engaged, ready to rumble!! i’ve been paranoid about her being transverse as she’s been all over the place in there, but hooray! 😀 the midwife (Lisa) also showed me how to check that her head’s down there … but i think i’ll leave her be. afterall, everytime i move i’m reminded there’s someone’s noggin in my groin.
so i’m getting my mindset back into labouring and birth, i’m confident in attempting a natural delivery, no drugs. but knowing what i know, i can’t predict what will happen and would be happy just to come home with a healthy baby.
i’m really loving Sesame Street lately — they’ve been doing episodes about Baby Bear‘s mumma expecting a new baby! bits about Baby Bear being a big brother, what to expect, things the baby needs. they also have other segments with actual people (not muppets, lol) expecting a new baby and going to the hospital to meet the new little one, it’s oh so cute!
Jasper’s still a bit young to understand it all, he knows how to say ‘bye’ to the Bears as they leave for the hospital and that’s about it! but i know he’s going to be so curious about the whole arrival. eeeek, have i said lately I CAN’T WAIT?? because i can’t!! 😀
anyway, I grew up watching Sesame Street myself – Regan’s having great fun showing Jasper the Yip Yips!
