36 weeks

36 weeks pregnant. Only 4 more to go! I'd be happy to give birth in the next week or two but on the other hand with Scott experiencing his busiest work year yet, I hope she comes on or just after her due date. My friend is due at the same time and her husband works with Scott, so we hope they're both here in time. In addition, living 50 minutes from the hospital I'm hoping I don't have to consult youtube on how to deliver a baby:) All good fun eh? Sam is so excited repeatedly asking "is the baby coming out today?"

Sam and Bella have gone on a school trip to the zoo today. They were so excited and I will be so relieved to see them this evening!

24 weeks

24 weeks pregnant this week! All is going well apart from a bout of insomnia and a bad back. Our last scan revealed we're having another girl! We've since recovered from the shock as I was convinced it was a boy. Sam was disappointed obviously, but he's looking forward to being a big brother and the only brother. Bella doesn't seem to understand. It must be confusing. She thinks my belly button is a way of communicating with the baby at the moment. And has started saying "I can't lift that, I have a bad back!".  I'm looking forward to all the sewing projects I can fit in.

Also looking forward to warmer weather so I can wear something other than jeans and so many layers!

p.s. excuse the mess in the photos. I'm in a forever process of clearing and tidying.

Hello!

Hello! I've been doing a little cleaning and tidying at home and trying to warm the place up. The sun was shining for once. Now 20 weeks pregnant and feeling so huge I may topple over. A bad back ensues, which is my own fault I know.

It's been so wet, I got our car stuck in the mud. Fortunately, a neighbour spotted me wheel spinning and came to help. Many car mats under the back wheels later, he got another neighbour to come with his van and tow rope...nope. The man with the van went to ask a man with a pickup.....yes! Community spirit at its best :)

New little buckle

 

This is my excuse for lack of posts and lack of making recently. My little family is so excited about this and after horrid nausea and tiredness all is much better. Already in the second trimester with baby due 1st July! Sam is looking forward to the possibility of a brother and Bella is just amazed I have a baby in my tummy.
