Wah, wah, yay.

I don't usually like to whinge on here but who am I kidding I am definitely a massive whinger. I'm going to be truthful, I'm having a difficult time, I woke up with the flu yesterday, womp. Being 36 weeks pregnant is tough enough with exhaustion and then being too uncomfortable to get a proper nights sleep, mix that with a sore throat and a blocked nose, it's disastrous. 

I'm so ready for this baby to come into the world, I've said it before and ill say it again, I do not like pregnancy. I love the reward at the end but sometimes my view of the light gets blocked by an eclipse. She's going to be here eventually, I know that but it's tough guys!

I'm so glad my lover has been home the last few days, that guy is incredible. My house is spotless and the child has been occupied. If he wasn't driving with me Tuesday, I would've covered myself in puke. How he managed to pass me that spew bag in the nick of time still amazes me. It's going to be a hard time saying goodbye for his next shift at work but I will be full term the next time he comes back! 

It hasn't been all bad, my littles baby shower on Saturday was amazing. Even though I said no presents, little miss got spoilt. I have some incredible friends.

35 weeks



How far along are you? 35 weeks 4 days

How big is the baby?: around 18 inches about the size of a honey dew melon

Maternity clothes: maternity singlets always. The weather is warming up so I've just been wearing dresses which is a nice relief from struggling to find pants!

Stretch marks?: No, fingers crossed.

Sleep: is actually getting better

Best moment this week: it hasn't happened yet but my baby shower (sprinkle) is on Saturday and I'm sure that will be awesome

Movement: heaps, up in the ribs!

Food cravings: currently nothing, just whatever isn't going to make me queasy.

Food aversions: nothing that I can think of off the top of my head, food in general just hasn't been awesome.

Labor signs: Braxton hicks, back ache. Bring it on I'm so ready haha

What I miss: Feeling normal

What I am looking forward to: catching up with everyone at the shower and eating cake muhaha.

What else has been going on I hear you ask? Not a whole damn lot. I seemed to have gone into hibernation mode, I pretty much don't want to leave the house. Its tough with Seb, he's getting heavy and lugging a pram in and out of the car isn't much fun. We've been having some great days at home though, his imagination is taking off and its so amazing to watch. He thinks he's hilarious and is always telling me hes funny. He's more cheeky but its hard not to laugh.

Ill have to upload a video of him to show how 'funny' he really is.

The nursery is coming together and when I get her drawers in there ill upload some pics. this post isn't really going anywhere and I'm deliriously tired so ill sign off now.
I'm sure ill be back tomorrow with some 'sprinkle' photos and ill have a big brag about what amazing friends I have.

We're in


We're all moved in, it took a little more time and effort then we anticipated but it's done and we don't have to do it again for at least another 2 years. 

I'm loving the new space, it's so open and light and the weather has been magical ever since moving day, so having an open bright space has made such a difference in my mood.

Seb ended up with hand foot and mouth virus late last week which is awful for the poor kid, that meant no 'school' Tuesday and a week being housebound. I think we needed the break to just rest after the move so it was a blessing in disguise but I'm so ready to have play dates again, J has been away since Monday so the lack of adult conversation has been a bummer.

This bump seems to have slowed down in the growing department, I still feel big but I know I'm definitely not huge. 6 weeks to go and now that we're settled in the house I am sooo ready to get this girly out. Seb keeps going to the baby's room and saying "baby seesters" it's so sweet. I doubt he actually understands what it means but in a few short weeks I'm sure he'll figure it out!
