40 Weeks!

No surprise that I made it to 40 weeks really. I expected it and I still expect an induction in about 10 days time. I know I shouldn't be impatient and I should just make the most of the time in between.. but COME ON little bebe!

Not much except waiting going on around here. I've had absolutely NO signs that anything is going to happen soon. I have a midwife appointment tomorrow, going to ask for a stretch and sweep.. might get things happening.

We took the kids up to Bribie on Saturday and met Jason's sister and bro in law up there. Would have been nice except for the fricking wind. It was horrible!

One more week of school holidays left :(. Although I guess I won't really have too much of a chance to miss Zak too much (maybe just a little) when he goes back as they bebe will be here if not before, shortly after. Can't believe my boy is in grade 5!

Still waiting patiently!

Zak and I went to the movies today and saw Hotel for Dogs. Must say its one of the better *kids* movies I've seen. He really got into it too. There is a sad bit in the middle and I was teary (would blame it on the pregnancy but meh... I would have sooked even if I wasn't pregnant) and I noticed Zak wiping his eyes too. Made me realise how sensitive he is and how proud I am of him for that - if that makes sense. After the movie we went for a walk through the shopping centre and talked about the movie - he held my hand! He's almost 10 and wanted to hold my hand. Sigh... love him to bits. Then he says to me *that movie touched my heart*.

Later on when Jason was home from work the subject of sex came up.. can't remember how, maybe some person trying to offer some *useful* tips to help bring the baby on and Jason and I were talking about it within earshot of Zak. I try to keep things open with him.. not to sugarcoat things too much or treat him like a baby (but I do try and remember he is still only 10 - well almost 10). But I couldn't believe it when he said *I don't have a real dad because you and dad didn't have sex*. So then I had to try and explain that maybe we did and then he said *but you didn't get married*... lord lord lord. I gave up at that stage. Its going to be strange having this *little* boy who isn't so little anymore growing up and learning about grown up stuff and at the same time having a new little baby. Anyway, I'm rambling.

Have a 39 week pic to share of the belly - not the best shot - I think I was yawning or sneezing when Jason took it.

Not much on for tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get some decent sleep tonight although given the last couple of weeks I'm not holding out great hope for that. It's strange being awake this late at night - I'm usually in bed by 8.30-9pm.. I almost feel like a rebel! I just remind myself its my body's way of getting me used to the sleepless nights again.. but thats okay - its definately worth it!

Tick tock tick tock

Yeap... it's ticking away... really really slowly!

Less than a week until my official *due date*.

Zak and I have started taking some late afternoon walks to try and help things along a little. Fingers crossed.

I'm so grateful the weather hasn't been too hot the last week or so! Mind you, the pool is just around the corner so its not so bad. Plus, I can shut myself in down here.. its one of the two rooms that is air conditioned.

No signs of labour yet. At all. And I don't think I can count baking brownies (straight out of the packet mix :p) or cleaning the kettle can be counted as nesting!

Bring it on!!!

I'm still here!

And still have a belly full of arms and legs. We're almost there. Due date is 19 January. I can't wait to have this little person out of my belly and into my arms. I'm at that lovely uncomfortable stage now - but trying not to complain too much!

Much nicer day in Brisbane (for pregnant ladies anyway :p) today. Rainy and cool. We've had a couple of stinking hot ones.. urgh!

Christmas and new year have been and gone.. in the blink of an eye. We had Christmas with our families up in Toowoomba and a quiet new year at home.

Anyway, not much of an effort I know, but hopefully I'll improve!
