37 Weeks

Well hello again.... So, 37 weeks now.... still no baby...and more monitoring!!

Thought they could hear a skipped beat again today so back to day case, monitored once more. They didn't hear anything but have made me an appointment with the consultant for Monday and now little one has decided to not appear to have grown in the last couple of weeks so I'm having a growth scan too....

Gah... I tell you this little pickle better start behaving before it makes an entrance!

36 weeks...

So, I'm 36 weeks pregnant now... a date I wasn't sure I would ever get to, with me coming earlier than this! Back up in Preston for 36 week check today....

Blood pressure has been a little up and so I have been monitored down south a few times... and looking at the BP I took this morning I could well be being monitored this afternoon as well.... oh dear!

Baby very active, has found my ribs and had a heartrate of up to 198 when monitored the other day.... just like mummy!!

Anyway, no photo as yet... this is my 35 week one..

Feeling lardy.... oh and one more purchase this week... a man bag! Well, a changing bag that's supposed to be cool for guys... and I like it, lots of pockets!

So, there we go, I'll let you know about the blood pressure!

My 33 week photo

So, here is my 33 week photo taken by my mum. Funny, my bump always looks bigger in the mirror than it does in the photos! I could start taking pictures of the size of my ankles... there would be definate growth up the centile chart there!

It's been a while

Hey, I've not been round for a while... Life has been very busy over the last couple of months. I'm in Dorset looking after my fabulous mum who is fighting the unmerciful and indiscriminate disease of cancer. It's been a true to joy to be able to serve her in this way and I will continue to do that until she goes home to be with the Lord Jesus. 

Meanwhile my little nudger has become a macarena dancing, martial arts practising heffer. I love being able to feel my baby but it is becoming a little bizarre to see poking limbs and I quite frequently scare James by my cries of 'Ah'  and 'Ooh' when the baby goes in for the kill. Wouldn't change it for the world tho.

I'm gonna be 34 weeks on Wednesday... all very exciting. I'll let you know what the midwife says....

Meanwhile check out www.vertbaudet.co.uk some beautiful stuff on there... we have purchased a gorgeous bumper and cot sheet from there, animals range
