34 weeks

Wow time is flying, although I am waiting for the dreaded dragging last 5 weeks!!! I think it is because you get asked at least once a day 'how much longer do you have to go?'!! Today we went and had a tour of the hospital where I will birth. It was fairly basic not that there is much there to sell you about!! I was interested to learn they have a bath, not that they do water births but it is more a comfort thing. Sounds nice to me!! I have written up my Birth Plan and I think it is complete!! Just some minor adjustments to make after the tour today made me re-think my wording!!!! I have generally been well I am told I am popping out now!! About time!! lol Bubs is in the move still. Yesterday I had a boost juice and it was quite cold which I think bubs wasn't that impressed about!!! There was loads of squirming and massive kicks up in the rips to the point I almost had to pull over the car! Little rat... the consensus so far has been a girl, Mum is dead set it is a girl!! I am not 100% either way yet.. i was edging towards a boy in the beginning but now I am just neutral !! Cannot make the call yet. When I had Kai I made the call in theatre during my c-section just seconds before they got him out!!! and .... I was right. Massey had Kaitiaki suss from the beginning it was a boy all along! This one he is sure is a boy too so only time will tell! Yesterday we held the rally at Frankston Hospital it made state and local media which was a bonus. Unfortunately the weather wasn't fab but I thought the turn out was good considering. It was a bit of a shame more people didn't get behind it but there will be more opportunities as we are not going to let down.!!!!!!! http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,21477456-2862,00.html I was interview and aired on channel 9 news last night and Kai was stoked to see mummy on TV!!! lol He thought it was great!! Not a great deal else going on the midwives have been happy over the last couple of appointments. The baby's room is coming a long, I got the change table back I lent to my Auntie and Uncle and also got a better bassinet stand for the bassinet, much more sturdy as I was using the bath stand and it was too high but also allowed the bassinet to move if you pulled it. We got it at a garage sale around the corner for $5 .. what a bargain!! I got a great rug on eBay for the room also which will make a great difference in winter to the floorboards. Just been gathering some supplies, I have got 2 lots of huggies boxes when they were on special and wipes etc. I think I am almost organise, oh except when i go into Pumpkin Patch and I NEED this and that!!! lol I am trying really hard to wait until after bubs is born as then I can get boyish or more girly things!!!! I saw the new Avent steriliser in the chemists' catalogue it takes more bottles and less time than the one I had for Kai.. I am planning on breastfeeding but it does the breast pump also and it was $79 on sale for $39. I went in locally but they said they weren't getting any in. So I rang another chemist a wee drive away and they had them and saved one for me yay!! Mum went and got it for me during the week and it is a ripper. It comes with 2 bottles, teats and a dummy awwwww!! This is my new Nappy Bag I am just in the process of packing it for hospital... such a tough task and my bag isn't even started yet as I need some of the clothes as not a great deal is fitting me at the moment!!!! Stella has been in disgrace lately she has been up to really puppy mischief. Last week I bought a Zoo Pillow from a second hand baby shop quite cheap, I was in a hurry and popped in home put it on the couch and raced out the door. I got home about 15 minutes later and she had got her paws on it, she tore it open and there was filling everywhere. Luckily she had just ripped under the ear and ripped it open at the seams .... whew was still a mess with 2 bags of filling.!!! Mum, the sewer extraordinaire fixed it like new for my so it is sitting nice and high at the moment. Then on Thursday night I was having an Enjo party and guests where arriving at 7pm, I was making a dip and realised I forgot an ingredient it was about 2 hours till guests started arriving so I shot down the supermarket quickly with Kai. And knowing her track record of late told Stella 'don't you get anything' hmmm should have known better ...... This is what we came home to .................................................................. She trashed my belly bag ... my pregnancy bean bag with the hole in the middle so I can lay on my belly.... hence we are not friends at the moment and when I go out she is outside or in the laundry if it is raining!!! She also got a whole 8 pack of toilet paper in among all the beans. And YES I am still finding all the beans coming out the woodwork after I thought I got them all!!!! ahhhh It took so long to clean them all up and the poor Dyson got a real work out with all the beans grrrrrrr Little Shit... It is her 1st birthday next week - 3rd April and at this rate she will not make it!!!!!!!!!!!!! So thats it not long to go now yay on the home stretch I have had a Doula offer to come to he birth so if I still cant find anyone I will take her up on it, she lives about 40 mins from the hospital so I could just meet her there. FACTS Your baby has grown to be about 46 cm long (18.1inches) and approximately 2,350 grams in weight (2.35 kg or 5lb 3oz). During the next 6 weeks or so, your baby's main task is to gain weight and grow a little larger, as well as build up their immune system, which is obtained from you passing blood antibodies through the placenta. Many women start to notice a tingling sensation or numbness in the pelvic region or pain as they walk. This may be caused by the pelvic joints loosening, ready for labour.
