Mummies blog

With only 9 weeks to go, mummy is starting to get ready for your birthday.

At 30 weeks at 5 days I am starting to feel very round, jobs are becoming very tricky and I am very clumsy. We brought your stroller and I dropped every piece.  Not to worry your father made sure it was all put together correctly and I will have a few more practises popping it up and together. 

You are starting to learn some bad habits. Every night you wriggle and stretch out (like your father) and I get stretched, punched and pushed around. Sometimes it hurts but mostly just uncomfortable when you settle on my spine or hip joint. It must be getting very snug in there for you because I can feel every movement now. I can feel your bum and head pushing against my tummy and sometimes your foot pushes up into my ribs.  I sometimes lye in bed and just watch my tummy jump and roll around.  It is the oddest feeling knowing that your in there happy and content, and that my body has changed so much to make space for you. 

I appoliguise for the music that you can hear. Your father thinks that you love Neil Diamond like him, but  I can tell you don't. You kick extra hard and push away the iPod. I will try play you some rain noise next, it's what I use to fall asleep.

You grandmothers are setting up your nursaries at their houses. Just remember - we are your parents, and they can't have you! 

anyway

Hoping to see you soon! 

Love from your mummy 

Visit from Aunty

Today Aunty Kim arrived all the way from the UK.  She came to visit her family and attend her sisters wedding. 

We shared dinner and desert which you must have liked because you are now kicking your mum lots.  Aunty Kim is sitting on the couch reading through all the different names in the book.

Claire is a new name that we are thinking of. 

28 weeks pregnant

We have just arrived home from our second prenatal class.  We are learning all about the different processes that the body will go through when you arrive. I'm learning where to apply heat pack and your mother is learning about all the different signals that you will send when you are ready to arrive into the world.

Next week we are meeting Katrina for another visit then we move to fortnightly visits. 

Big changes at home as well. We have put in a new bathroom with the help from your grandma Willis and popper Kevin. We also spent a lot of time today preparing your room for painting... You will just have to wait and see it just like we have to wait and see if you are going to be a boy or girl.

I think you are a boy but your mum things you are a girl.  We still haven't really decided on any names yet.  James, Jack, are our boys names still and girls haven't really change much either. Rose, Emily, Lily if you are a girl
