38 Weeks

What's been happening: Absolutely nothing has been happening!! No sign of this baby making his debut anytime soon... He is quite cosy it seems. Sara (midwife) guesstimated he is around the normal 3kgs at the moment, and as per usual- he's just spending his days bulking.

As am I. 

But I've been good- tired but good. Braxton hicks are still frequent but nothing to get excited about yet! 

Weight Gain; We went to the beach yesterday and I felt so incredibly enormous! My tummy is now entering every room a good minute before the rest of me, and I am looking forward to weight gain becoming weight loss. 

Workouts: Still lots of walks & squats, trying to do some yoga poses most days but that only lasts for about 10 mins- but thats better than nothing!

Movement: He's finally running out of room in there & things are starting to settle down. He still has his 7pm wriggle around but it's not like it was last week. I can feel where his bum is (it has moved to the left side yay), and his little kickers are always prodding me on the right side now.

Food Aversions: Nope!

Food cravings: Let's just say I am really making the most of my food freedom at the moment- lots of takeout & lots of peanut m n ms.

Sleep;   Same as last week, not fantastic but not too bad either, my bladder is going to freak with joy at all the space it gets soon! 

Miss anything: Socialising- with my waddling & the 35 + degree days on end- I literally don't leave the house.

Fun/ interesting things for the week;

It's not exactly fun but Blake has been teething again (I know), and she has been an absolute nightmare to be around. I rung Oli in tears on Thursday afternoon, "I can't do this" wah wah etc... And my absolutely wonderful, darling fiancé, packed in his work and took Friday off so I could rest up & regain some sanity. It also happens to be labour day on Monday so we get four glorious days together to share the tantrums of the toddler. Thank goodness for that man. 

**Yes it is labour day tomorrow, could be an omen? Here's hoping! 

Oh and just a couple of hours ago we finally picked up our new feeding chair / lazy boy, it was our final thing on the list to get so I am over the moon! Check her out, she's a big unit!

Stretchmarks;I think we're in the all clear in this department folks! Stoked! 

Happy or moody: It varies by the hour, but super happy today

Looking forward to: A lot!! Going clothes shopping- I'm just excited to fit into things besides XL tee shirts! Going back to the gym, having a wine or ten, & most importantly- I'm SO excited to pick Ma up from the airport in 2 hours time, woohoo!! 

Bump update:  

Pleeeeeaaassseee be the last one. That thing is impressive! (And yes his sleeping quarters are now in our bedroom, hint hint, come on out)

I'll be in touch with any updates!
