39 weeks

Well here's my 39 week bump shot, not sure if it'll be the last bump shot or not, but I very muchly think I will be back next week with my 40 week shot! lol.

Another boring m/w appointment, not much to report there, my bp is fine, bubs hb sounds healthy. Nothing wrong with me, another appointment in a week!

These last few weeks are going so fast! I know bub will be here in no time, although I still am in denial that there is going to be a baby here soon... I just can't wait to meet the little bubba!! And to see what this sneaky ninja baby looks like!!

Just incase this is the last entry before bub, I just wanna say that Jelly you have made this pregnancy quite easy on me, and it makes me wonder why other people complain so much, you've caused me no morning sickness, no heartburn, no swelling, no pains, you didnt even move too much in there... lets just hope you can continue your kindness on the outside!!
You've also made it easier for me to lose my belly after your arrival as theres not much there!!
I can't wait to hold you, and kiss you, and look after you! And I hope I can do a good job and that you love me too.

My Favourite picture from today! YES today me and Kyle went and got the maternity pics taken by the lovely Liddell!!! If you've decided for some crazy reason to check my blog before you check your facebook there are more on facebook! I have been tagged or just search for Liddell McNie Photography and they will be there aswell :)

We went to Rocks Riverside Park in Brisbane! Was a beautiful day, got a little cloudy towards the end, but we still got some great photos :)

Was great to catch up with Liddell aswell!!

Only 10 days to go! It's insane! Any day now... max 20 days to go, so it's kinda surreal to think I'm going to have a little baby to bring home soon!!

Been going crazy with the nesting too. We cleaned out our bedroom over the weekend, the bassinet is in there, just have to make it up :) all the crap is pretty much gone, and Kyle cleaned down all the walls.

Just got the bathroom to go and we're done! Coz the kitchen floors FINALLY got done which is fantastic!! So happy about that.

So I guess I will update again after my next midwife appointment and with the next bump shot!

38 weeks

Belly still looking the same. Jess Jess will be paying up that $5 she bet with me LOL. I certainly haven't "popped"

Midwife appointment today. Nothing too exciting. My Blood Pressure is still same ol same ol, bub is still head down bum up, heartbeat is good. Nice and happy healthy baby, she said bub has dropped a little, but still not enough to be called engaged.

Next appointment is 11-5-11 at 11am haha, told her that'd be a great date and time for bub to arrive hehe.

Not bub related, but I had a tooth taken out on monday! The same tooth I wanted removed at like 20 weeks! I had messaged the midwife about it prior as I wasnt sure what to do about the stupid tooth (it fell out on my birthday!!!) but she had no idea... haha told her today all about it, and said I hope I hadn't annoyed her, which ofcourse I didn't, she said I can call or msg about anything... although she reckons next time I call it will be to say bub is coming LOL, although I reckon this little bubba is gonna be a late arrival.

Gave the bassinet a quick clean yesterday so that's all ready - just have to clean up our bedroom and make some room for it!!

Getting Pregnancy photos taken on sunday! pretty excited about that!! This is the website of the girl who's doing it for us: http://www.liddellmcnie.com.au/ She's in my DIG! :)
So hopefully next time I update I will have some NICE photos of me and jelly to share, and maybe Kyle aswell if he's lucky LOL

Home from our midwife appointment!!!

Thought it was going to be a quick one today, Kyle came, and we went through the normal stuff, no stinging when I wee, no puffiness on hands or feet, no pains or anything unusual, did the blood pressure, made the appointment for next week, and I was thinking great, the one week Kyle makes it nothing happens, but then we had a listen/feel for bub.
She felt bub was certain head was down, back to the side like normal, but she couldnt find the heartbeat! even held bub in place, but just for the sake of it she moved the doppler to other spots on my belly, and lo and behold, she found it up higher, and she started to laugh a little nervously, and Im like Oh no what's that mean, and she said that if the heartbeats up there maybe its head up bum down not the other way around! AHHHH!!!
So she went and got a doctor in, (meanwhile I am freaking out thinking Im going to have to get a C-section when the time comes!) and he brought in the portable ultrasound machine thingy, and they had a look.
DEFINATELY HEAD DOWN! *huuuuuuuuuuge sigh of relief* Kyle got to watch the whole time, I didnt get to see a thing, screen wasnt facing me :( They measured the head, and I am guessing it was all normal, Kyle said he saw the number 17... so dunno if that was the measurement... does that even sound right? The doctor said there was lots of good "pockets of fluid" as he moved around the bub. Had a quick look at the heart, and the bladder, and everything was all good! yay! Kyle said bub was moving its arms around alot! hehe.

Next appointment is booked for next wednesday! I will be 38 weeks then! OMG!

OH, and my swab was good, no strep b for me! aaaand my haemoglobins are on the low side but nothing to be worried about.
Placenta is to the side at the front.

HAHA OHHHHH and, KYLE had to have his needle ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa!! He got his boostrix shot then and there, sucker, now he's whinging that his arm hurts.

Hmmm, I think that's all that happened.... if I forgot anything I will come back and edit the post haha.

37 weeks

So here's the 37 weeks bump shot, eww, Im starting to not like these bump pics anymore LOL such a weird shape it's becoming!! Also took a side/front pic aswell. which is obviously the right hand side picture.

So everything is pretty muchly ready for bub to arrive. I just need to make up the cot, which I might do next week or the week after (dont want to do it too early) and clean up/set up the bassinet.

I'm enjoying FINALLY being able to feel some pretty cool movements from bub, although it feels so strange when it does it up high near my ribs when Im sitting down!! Feels like I'm in it's way or something lol

Nothing to suggest bub is coming early, so I think we're in for a wait, I have a feeling I will go over, but Id like bub to come a week early :) that would be nice. Only pains I have been having is leg cramps in the night, although one night it's like my leg was paralysed! I couldn't move it without excruciating pain, and it wasnt a cramp coz theres no way I could stand up to walk it off!

Kyle seems to think bub is coming on my birthday, but me and Jelly will prove him wrong :) mwahaha.

Dear Jelly,

This is your crazy Dad, and your Lazy Sister Piggy. You will ALWAYS find them lying on the couch doing nothing. Get used to this picture lol.


And this is a special present you got from Nanna's Aunty and her Cousins. My Nan taught your Nan's Aunty how to crochet, so she made it special for you! And the Presents are from your Nan's Cousins. You are one spoilt baby!

And one more thing Jelly, please no more stinging paralyzing pain down the inside of my leg at 6:30am in the morning please, it's not very nice, and it's even less nice when I can't get up to walk it off. All I could do was sit there in pain! Naughty Jelly. Please get off whichever nerve controls that.

That is all.

Love Mummy xoxox

This is my new chair I bought second hand :) cost me $110, when I brought it home, seriously took me over an hour to clean it! was so dusty underneath, and had crap at the back of the seat and in the pockets. But that's okay, atleast now I know its 100% clean, and it's mine all mine.

Me testing it out. haha, loser much?

Not sure if I like where it is in the room, would like to move things around. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
