Sorry it's taken so long to update my blog. I have been so busy with various stuff I just haven't had the time to get on here. Also TBH not much has really happened to report!
I still feel really well. My belly continues to expand every week and with the hot sunny weather we have been having I do feel the heat this year more than ever before! Nic has puchased a mini swimming pool for he back garden. It is just 10m big but nice and deep and cooling! We have also done some work in the garden with the huge help of Charl and Kerry. It's looking really nice and I love spending time out there now. I think I will be using it as a place to relax a lot through the final three months of my pregnancy especially with the new sunlounger and table set I brought- thanks Nic ;) xxx
Each week I try to read the websites about Totos development. If he happened to be born now he woud actually be 'viable' which means the hospitals would have a good chance of saving him. Of course the longer he stays safely growing inside the better! I still feel him moving a huge amount. Even while I sit here and type I can feel him squirming and wriggling. He is very active. I find it quite reassuring as every single day and least every few hours I feel him move and kick. He is most active once I have gone to bed and am relaxing... bodes well for after the birth NOT! tee hee. Both myself and Nic still love feeling him move around. It is also perfectly visable from outside aswell. You can see my belly bounce when he really kicks and you can see when he moves accross close to the surface aswell.
Every now and again I get a huge panic shock. It is usually when he is churning about and a moment of terror spreads through me, thoughts like: How will the birth be, will he be ok, will I be ok? Will he be healthy, will he have disabilities? How will we afford him, how will our lives change... it goes on. The thoughts only hover for a moment, always to be replaced by excitment and happiness but they are there. Talking to friends, this is pretty common really! It's so lovely to have friends pregnant aswell!
I have just over twelve weeks left now before our little lad is due to arrive. I really do hope to continue this blog, but as I also am going to try keeping the business running and dogs cared for and Toto brought up I wonder how much 'me' time will actually exist...
Oo myself and Nic have booked a weekend break in Buxton (Peak District). It is just outside the village of Bakewell (yes where the pies come from) and we love this area of the country. We have booked a little room above a restaurant and are just going alone. My lovely brother is going to dogsit for us! Our last weekend alone before the baby- I can't wait!
Ok that's all for now. I have peppered this post with pictures of how our baby should look at around this point and added a photo of our garden- enjoy! x
