Not sure if Ellabump is still the wrong way around since my GP appt at 32weeks...I have been on my knees, on the birth ball and hanging over the edge of the sofa in vain trying to get her to turn. I've no idea where she's at now. I constantly have a very large round lump under my right ribs which I think is a head but it could be a bum? And I have some very sharp pointy body parts poking out at the bottom left of my bump...no idea! Can't wait til midwife appt on Wed 11th to find out for sure. Probably will have to discuss having her turned and/or c-section dates if she is breech/transverse/oblique. Kacking my pants, really don't want a c-section. It's the last thing I want. But nothing I can do about it I suppose and just have to go with the flow!
The urge to pee every 5 minutes is really driving me nuts now, it's never eased up through the whole 8 months but jesus christ, I can just have been and then literally 5 minutes later be bursting again. Wish she would stop squashing my bladder!!
Went to see Ciara yesterday and she'd got a really cute pressie for bump from Ireland when she went visiting home at Xmas. So cute, a little pair of Irish leprechaun sock/booties. :) Was good catching up with her, last time I saw her I was only about 4 months gone!!
Made a cute piece of artwork to hang in the nursery, I got some bright coloured buttons on ebay and glued them a bit like a mosaic in the shape of an "E", just need to get a nice cheap frame and hang it up and I'll post a pic. Also need to finish 2 of the 3 canvases which I painted to match the bumper and curtains.
I got a bargain in mothercare the other day, got a cute animal mobile to hang over the cot for £10. And got some blankets and we finally for a moses basket stand and chest of drawers for cheap as they were on gumtree. Who says having a baby is super expensive?! We've managed to source everything pretty cheaply. I must admit the only extravagant thing I've bought is a nice big colourful rug for the nursery. I love it, and so does Kenny (that's a first!). But even this rug which is pretty decent quality and huge was cheap off ebay. Bargain hunter Vicki here :)
Re-packed my hospital bag this morning too and reduced what's in it. Just need to get some nursing bras and dummies for baby. And when the time comes we just need to remember to grab me some clothes for coming home in and a hairbrush and I'm set! MUST remember to put baby's carseat in the car too...they wont let you away unless you have it!
Was back to work properly for the first time in about 5-6weeks this last week. Wasn't too bad. Having to wear stupid business dress but at least it's not for long. Struggling though, only have about 3 outfits that fit! I managed to speak to personnel and they've said I can use holidays at the end of Jan so that I finish up earlier too as I doubt I'd make it to 31st Jan as originally planned. So hopefully this coming week will be my last, then 2 & half weeks hols starts and then maternity leave starts. Woop! As much as I'm fed up sitting around the house and getting bored and it makes the time go slower...I'm struggling with work. It's stressful, tiring and lots of getting up and down and walking involved which is destroying my hips.
Hopefully i'll post a pic of all my finished artwork and the finished nursery with moses basket in it/clothes put away soon. We'll see! And I wonder how many more bump pics I'll do before I pop/be popped?
Off for a cuppa, and for the past 3 days I've really wanted sorbet... we don't have any and Kenny wont get it for me. He's trying to keep us healthy...boring!!! I'm so hard done by...!
