Can you spot the fish?
Sunsettting as we head home:
Well I didn't have much to write for these weeks but hey, here goes, I've not been working which is fantastic and to be honest i don't know whether i'd be able to cope with it at this time really.
Sleeping has been a lot more difficult, and i find myself waking up throughout the night to go to the loo, i swear my little man is just sitting on my bladder on purpose, lol. Also sometimes i wake up really early absolutely starving so i have to get up and have breakfast regardless if its 6am or not. lol.
I had my 36 week check up with the midwife, everything was ok, bp 120/60, belly measuring 38cm which was alright, little man still not engaged which i knew anyway, he's quite happy where he is. I had my last NCT class as well on the same day which was good, a little sad to be finishing them but really looking forward to the next stage of this journey now.
I also had my 36 week consultant appointment and it was ok although they found traces of protein in my urine which they sent off to the lab for testing and it turned out i've got a slight water infection, great stuff, antibiotics for me. Not bad considering i've got no symptoms and haven't had one in years! My consultant also gave me a quick growth scan and said our little man was a "normal weight" no idea what that means but he had enough fluid and everything so its all good. Plus i got to see him again which i totally wasn't expecting.
37 weeks (FULL TERM!! Woop Woop!!!)
Little man's head is now supposed to be cradled in your pelvic cavity, surrounded and protected by my pelvic bones. This position clears some much-needed space for his growing legs and bum, bless him. Average weight is now 6.5lbs.
38 weeks:
Not really much happening, just sorting odd bits at home, making sure everything is ready for when our little man decides to make an appearance. Weight wise little man weighs about 6.8lbs supposedly. He's still very much happy where he is, driving his mummy a bit loopy when he decides to go mad when i'm trying to get to sleep but honestly i don't mind, he's my naughty little monkey.

4th October:
I just had to share my day with you. My boyfriends mum invited me out to a girly lunch today earlier this week with her and my boyfriend's stepsisters, i thought great, haven't been out to lunch for a while, its not unusual for her to go out to lunch in the slightest so i thought nothing more of it. When she picked me up she said she thought we'd go to frankie and bennys as the girls like it and so do i, no complaints here i thought!
It turns out that my sister had organised a baby shower for me!!!
It was so nice, we got there and there was my mum, sister, sisters mother in law and a few of my best friends who i've known for years as we went to school together.
My mum made this gorgeous cake:
The baby on the top is actually fully handmade including the face and hands, my mum is so clever!!
We had a gorgeous meal followed by my favourite dessert - cinnamon waffle crunch, (yummy!!!). I also got some lovely presents too - vests, sleep suits, a lovely photo album, a babies first thing that hangs on the wall which has got space for hand/foot prints, pics etc. Plus some random baby bits like booties, muslin squares, scratchmits and socks etc.
I feel so spoilt and actually had absolutely no idea that my sister had had planned it. She is an absolute star!!
