WOW!
Only 3 more sleeps till Thursday…the BIG day!
I go from feeling freaked out, to calm. Rick is getting excited (not that he outright says it, but I can tell :P). I still have everything to do. For me right now, everything is getting hard to do. Today I am getting my hair done. So that when baby comes and I have photo’s done, I look okay in the hair department at least. My latest shoe boots arrived from the U.S.A today. I can’t wait until I can wear them. I should post photo’s of my boots….I LURVE them, but can’t wear them till the baby is out as I don’t want to slip over again

I am going to try and book in a reflexology appointment today. I don’t want to do any accupuncture. I want massage. I have been reading that reflexology massage is good, as you can press the pressure points that help with inducing labour naturally. I don’t care about that anymore…..it’s so close anyways….I just want a massage

Once Thursday is here I will be happy. I hate not knowing what is happening, when I have so much to organise. I haven’t packed my bags yet or anything, but I have most things that I need to fill them now. Once I know what is happening I will go ahead and do that. And I will get the baby’s room finished too.

I’m hoping to get my boots soled on the weekend maybe as I want to be able to wear them soon. And there is no way I am going to wear them with the possibility of slipping over again….spesh now I am heading for 36 weeks along. I want to take the last couple of weeks easy as it’s going to be the last I will get to myself for a VERY long time and I want to be refreshed and ready to go (as much as is possible).

I find myself going into the baby’s room, just to look at things and to stand in there and imagine our baby in there and to touch her things. I can’t really believe it’s all happening. It wasn’t that long ago that I thought having a baby would be the last thing that would happen for a looong time…..and now it’s just around the corner practically. It’s just so damn freaky.

I am out of breath constantly too now. And sleeping….well what IS sleep exactly?? I can’t sleep on my left side as it hurts me and so I end up on my back half the time and then of course wake up because of it at 2:30am with indigestion/heartburn. TUMS is my best friend now. I’m sick to death of taking blood levels and injecting insulin now too.

Yey!!! It’s raining!!!  It’s just after 5pm and I have been waiting all day for it to rain.  If you know me well,  then you will know this kind of weather is my absolute fave

Well I am nearly done with the whole Hospital/Birth bag.  I went shopping yesterday as planned and got lots of things I needed and a few selfish Items that I didn’t.  I ended up with another pair of boots.  And 2 books instead of 1.  Pretty much everything else I have purchased was for essential items,  such as tops with the ability to wear and breastfeed from.  And I bought a lovely and soft and warm dressing gown for the winter and some light cardigans,  but that is about as exciting as my shopping expedition got.

I will hopefully be going to get the chest of drawers for the baby’s room this weekend.  And we will have to put that together…but then at least I will have somewhere permanent to store all of her stuff.  I will start packing my bags for the hospital now too,  seeing as I have most of the list together.

I am starting to get quite anxious about what lies ahead now.  It is going to be such a huge transition and I don’t think my Husband understands the impact it will have on him or us.  But hey,  he will know all about it soon enough!

So that ends that chapter.  There really isn’t anything else I can write about today.  It’s really dark already and I have been sitting at the computer for hours playing games.  Tomorrow is housework day,  so I will relax today.  I haven’t been cleaning the whole house as much lately,  I have decided that I am going to take it easy up until baby arrives now.  Doing a big clean once enough will have to suffice.  Luckily for me,  Rick doesn’t care one way or another
