34 weeks 1 day

So I am starting off this update with a comparison picture. Where oh Where are you hiding little Jelly? I have almost decided to call you ninja bub as I swear you are so good at hiding! I am soo not playing hide n seek with you when you come out as I will never find you! LOL I look my biggest at 22 weeks! haha. Even though you are hiding in there, my weight tells me otherwise! With the amount that I have gained you'd think I was having triplets! I am sooo not sharing how much I've put on as it is now quiet depressing.


Yesterday at work was my last weekday shift so the store manager Jamie put on an afternoon tea for me. Me and Kerry walked out together with the deli platters (which I couldn't really eat much of anyways) and there was a hamper sitting on the tables out the back for me and a few people were out there who were on their lunch breaks, even Jess H stayed back (she'd already finished for the day) Then they did a PA "All available staff to the lunchroom" A few people rocked up, not many. Jamie then got me to tell everyone why we were out there, and Im like "what I have to tell them??" and he's like "yeah" so embarrasing, so I say "We're all here because I am going on maternity leave" And then he says a little speech saying how well I am hiding my pregnancy and when he looked at all the maternity leave papers he couldn't believe it was for me, and about yes, you're about to encounter the most wonderful stage of your life, we wish you all the best, thought we'd get you something to start you off and to say thankyou for all your help over the years etc etc, then he sat down and we started nibbling on food, the odd people who walked in then left, and it was like really awkward just sitting there with Jamie and Ruth lol didn't know what to say, thankgod kerry, jess and anita where there.


Then the Bakery guy brought over a cake! it was actually a double cake, and could have looked like boobies! LOL It originally said "Have a Happy and Safe Birth" But we ate the 'have a happy and' cake. It was soooooooo light and fluffy and fresh and CHOCOLATE! mmmm Still have this half of the cake in the fridge, waiting for someone to come and help me eat it lol.

At antenatel classes last night we got the tour of the birthing suite, was quite surreal to think I may be in that very room in 6 weeks time! She was showing us all the different ways we could have the bed, all the different positions we could be in, all the different items we could use in the room. The bathroom was alot smaller than I had expected, I thought it would be more open. It's quite confined.
She showed us all the equipment involved with an epidural minus the actual needle. And GOD I hope I DON'T need to have one!!! She refused to show us the pethadine, which sucks because that I am actually interested in seeing.
While we were in there we could actually hear a woman screaming down the halls!!!
I actually already forget how to get down there so I am hoping Kyle remembered the way! LOL.

Today I am off curtain shopping with mumsy!! Hoping we can find something!!!
