31.5 weeks!

My brain is mush. Other than that life is good.

We had our baby party (instead of shower) in London this last Saturday and it was awesome! I was so happy and touched to see all the people there and how excited they were for Jonathan and I. It so nice to feel like this baby is so loved already and its not even here yet!

Friday is my last day of work. I know its a bit earlier than I thought I would leave, but I need my rest and my body is telling me its time. I'll use this time to wrap my head around becoming a mom and getting everything ready...okay okay so I'll bake and eat a lot, but hey, thats relaxing right?

We had our Prenatal session. Thank goodness we opted for the in-home private classes cause man-alive there were something we learned about I wouldn't had dealt well with in a group. Jonathan is going to be GREAT at helping me through the tough stuff...and feeding me immediately afterwards! LOL

I'll be sure to write more - as I'll have the time!!!

Happy Tuesday!

Sweet Sweet Spring Time!

Its a gorgeous, beautiful wonderful Thursday today. I am HAPPY.

I literally feel like I am coming out of hibernation from the winter. I felt tucked away like a dirty pregnant secret! LOL We haven't seen enough people over the winter, so now my neighbours are seemingly shocked to see me waddling outside walking Finnegan....I am semi-whale like. The song Baby Beluga has a new meaning to me!

This Saturday is our Baby Shower / Bash in London! I am so so excited. I might need some assistance in looking presentable but I know it will be a great time. I am finding it harder and harder to believe that in 9 weeks (if the baby is right on time) I will be meeting my new son or daughter. SO WEIRD. I seriously can't even wrap my head around the enormity of it - but I am sure it will sink, oh say, I dunno, between 6 cm dilated and begging for drugs.

I have been really struggling at work the past 4 weeks or so. Sitting is a very bad position for me. My last day is coming up very soon though so I know I can make it. Knowing me I will get bored of being home after a short time, we'll have to see what happens! I have so much guilt associated with not being at work everyday - which I know is insanely stupid.

I managed to score a preg-parking spot today, it was the highlight of my morning for sure. I am fighting falling asleep.......I need to go outside for a bit and soak up some sun!

OH - whoever said Braxton Hicks are painless was a complete F*%$ing LIAR. Also - if ever planning to get pregnant in the near future - don't have a Japanese or LOW bed. Very bad idea for getting in and out of it.....

Have a great day!
