Bit MIA at the moment

The lack of posts at the moment is down to me being full of cold. Trying my hardest to shift it before the little man makes his appearance (hopefully not long now). But nothing seems to be working, so im just being lazy on the sofa with my quilt & lots of tissues (and its lovely weather outside in the UK for once) to try and sweat it out of me. I cant imagine going into labour now, i cant even breathe through my nose never mind breathe through contractions. Ohhh well, i suppose i could 'cough the baby out' haha!! 

Should be back soon. Hopefully shortly followed by lots of pictures.. bare with me xo 

Breathing becomes easier, walking becomes harder?

Yeah i suppose it does, unless your a shortarse like me. Even though he has clearly dropped down a fair bit hes still really onto my ribs at times, and the amount of acid i get is ridiculous. Ive said it before and i will say it again, refreshers fizzy sweets are a life saver. Im popping these bad boys like their going out of fashion at the minute, even through the night!

I havent done a whats happening this week post for a few weeks, i didnt even know id missed one.. so i'll just ramble about whatevers happening with me. And post one of those picture madgigys.

Apparently my iron has come up abit, its nine now? So if i take my new tablets by the time i give birth it should be fairly okay and over a ten. Which is good. My sisters was low still and she kept fainting afterwards from the loss of blood. Leaving me doing the first feed etc with the baby.. woo scary times!

Got an 'after birth' class tonight. Ive known places do birthing classes but this ones a bit of a mystery to me. Do we talk about feeding and stuff?? Im sure Craig will find that more insightful because at the minute he hasnt really had any hands on nappy changing experience etc before.

No leaky breasts yet, im kind of happy about that, and hopefully i dont jynx myself there.. would be rather embarassing to be out and about. As would my waters going on the bus or in the middle of the supermarket or something hehe.

Obsessions atm? Dandelion and burdock!!

Bump progress so far

I know it seems hard to believe, but you really don't notice your belly growing all that much. It becomes the 'norm', and unless im doing something active for a while i don't really notice it.. even now, nearing the end.

Here is my bump progress, some may be in the wrong order (the first one on the bottom row is meant to go next to last) because i didnt use my geniousness and name them 'week 30' etc. *facepalm*oh well. The first one is the day i found out, the second is 14 weeks and so on.

Ooo i love TMI posts, haha!

Been getting an odd feeling in my 'nunny' now that he is moving down and engaging. Apparently this is my cervix lighting..lighting? LIGHNING would be more appropriate!

My tummys an obstruction!

Painting your nails whilst heavily pregnant is a chore. It's such an effort to reach my toesies now. Don't even get me started on blind shaving.. that is another story altogether. 

Full term

Wahooo!! Full termies.

I had some cramping in the night but forced my self to sleep through what i could "just incase". Its gone now, im just left with the 'dodgy tummy feeling'..probs that chinese for one i had last night eh? ;)

I still havent finished my maternity bag, need to buy gigantic pads and pack more pjs. Naughty Victoria! Hurry up little man, i want my blog to be full of pictures not words!

Knock knock, ohh lord whos there?

I half forgot (it was there at the back of my mind my fatigued pregnant body just didnt respond to it) that today was the day the health visitor came out to me...

So there i am, lounging around hair not done (which now its short is the equivelant to a punk rocker) and Jessie my springer spaniel starts going crazyyyyyy. I thought, ooh god whos this?? Answered and there stood mrs health visitor, popping in for her 'introduction appointment'. Why do they do that now?? I havent even popped the baby out yet. Anyway she was rather nice, told me i had a good head on my shoulders etc, but made me feel a little bit like i was at an interview and i kept shifting my eyes around not knowing what to do eeek!

 Oh well thats over and done with, pointless sorting the 'do' out now so im just going to relax, even though i should be outside enjoying the sunshine and getting some fresh air.. ooooh im a bad un.
