34 weeks down, 6 to go!

Ok, I have been so bad at keeping you all updated with the progress of Babytays, but I have good reason!

With working full time, trying to finish all the DIY at home, as well as my urge for keeping my house completely spotless I have to say I have no energy levels and no brain power to write a blog on the evening…

The tiredness stage at the beginning of the pregnancy has returned, and when I do get a release of energy, it is all used up cleaning, repeatedly! I currently have an addiction to an apple fragranced disinfectant, which I just have to have my house smell of, I love it! Very odd I know..


Well anyway, I have hit the 34-week mark this week, or I am in my 35th week, as some information will say..

How am I feeling? Big.. really big

How do I look? Big… really big..

But seriously, yes very excited now but also a ikle scared of the whole labour process. This week will be my third session at anti natal and it has just brought everything out of hiding.

I have found them useful, and Mr T managed to attend last weeks to learn all about the “non” normal labour.. umm not good information to tell them in advance, I expect he will be running off to the Robin Hood pub next door in a panic!

At the moment I’m trying to stick with the attitude that it has to come out, so lets just go with it.. no point worrying too much as I have no choice now! Apparently, the more you relax (yea right) the faster and easier the baby comes out. I have said to Mr T if he repeats that to me when I’m in the height of pain it may not go down too well!

Generally, though, I’m trying to stay positive about labour because firstly and most importantly I get to meet BabyTays, and secondly I can start to fit into my clothes again.

I think this is the most stressful part for me. Although I was very lucky as I expanded on the tummy area from an early stage but the rest of me stayed the same, in fact, I was even wearing my own jeans up until a few weeks ago.

Until that is I woke up once morning after hitting 32 weeks and bang.. I was huge, even getting out the bed I needed to roll and from then on I have just grown and grown.. My arms are fat, my legs are huge (well they feel huge) I cant even pull my jeans over my ass, and my maternity clothes are even getting tight, in fact I have considered just going to work in my pj’s, so at least I will be comfortable. I have to say, I am looking forward to getting my body back again and actually feeling nice when I get dressed in the morning!

Oh well, the long haul of it is over and soon I will become a Mummy and I cant bloody wait!!

5 weeks and 5 days to go and counting!!!

Although the midwife said only 4% arrive on due date, my fingers are crossed my date comes early and not two weeks late!
