Time Flies!

Waist: 45"- Yes Really! OMG!
Weight: Too Much
Energy: Not Enough!

Well time flies and there is just four weeks left till Toto is due! Full term is anytime from 37 weeks till 42 weeks so that means by Friday week (18th) I will be counted as full term and we can expect the little one from anytime onwards really!

I am feeling very well in myself and still loving being pregant. I can't belive how hard some regular things are. Putting on socks and shoes is a challenge and getting up off our somewhat squishy, deep sofa requires thought and momentum! I have had a really sensitive stomach through the last few weeks so have just started realising I can't just eat whatever I want. I am going to have to stick to non rich foods and lots of fruit and salad :) Oh and the odd ice cream Mars cant hurt...

We have had a busy few weeks with writing my birth plan, midwife appointments, blood tests etc. We also took a tour of North Hants (Basingstoke) hospital. There were so many couples on the tour! My god I hope we dont all go into labour at the same time otherwise all those Mummies get in before me and I really don't want to have to go to another hospital... :( The tour however was great and we got to see what we can expect when the time comes, there are various rooms including quite a few private rooms which we will pay the extra for when the time comes if they are free, I am not so bothered about the pre baby as they move you to a private room for the last stages of labour anyway although I would like to be in the Home style Birthing Suite which has a sofa, gym/ birthing balls etc. But if we have to stay overnight I would like to have my own space with Toto. We also saw the various other rooms and asked to see a resuscitare (baby resus cot) as we didnt want to panic and not understand it if Toto needs it. The hospital was really nice and the midwives were lovely and friendly! Lets just hope they arent full when Toto arrives!

I am incredibly busy right now as we are trying to wind down Sew What for maternity. I have been updating our accounts and fufilling orders like crazy. I feel a mixture about working so hard now. The good thing is it keeps me distracted and doesnt allow me to think too much about when Toto is going to arrive etc. Staying busy is fab coz I am not clock/ week watching :) However i also feel a bit miffed when all my friends are on maternity leave and relaxing and chilling while I work my butt off... It also means that I will be working again pretty much as soon as I have the baby, whilst my mummy mates will have that time totally devoted to baby. Shame I do feel so sorry for myself.. LOL. The thing is though that this is the perfect job to have with a young child/ baby. It allows me to earn a wage and still be at home which will be just fantastic in a few months time when my my mummy friends have had to go back to their offices etc. Always look on the bright side- and my work has way too many bright sides to give it up!

Whingeing now over I must get back to work, I think another week of hard work and I will be winding down in preperation for the manic Toto time!

Byeeee xxx
