Well after enough badgering from Richard to write a new blog I thought I had better get to it otherwise I’d never hear the end of it!!

Last couple of weeks have been cool, had midwifes appointment where they prod and poke me and steal my blood then tell me to come back in 2 weeks….I think after the next one though I have to start going every week which is a pain, especially for work, but then I hope they let me work from home those days, especially as time is very limited and I get times like 12:30, which makes going to work before and after a pain!

We still have been going swimming and seem to be able to keep it to at least twice a week which is nice, we seem to play around more than we actually swim but its exercise none the less and we feel better for it, although I have no idea why we bother paying cos the gate for members is always always open and I don’t think our cards have ever been checked!

Obviously and most other people know the last couple of weeks have been scheming and planning for Rich’s birthday weekend, much to his frustrations, although he seems to think it was worth it in the end. I wont go on about that too much as he has talked about everything from the weekend plenty already, but seeing him having such a great time really made it all worth it for me J

As most of you have noticed the forum is all up and working now and people are starting to get the hang of posting….seems the results from the poll is in, everyone like the name we picked, so we are 99.9% now we are gonna have Alex Christopher James. We love it and seems most of you lot do too, which although isn’t that important :p makes it much nicer for us J I do hope to see some more posting from everyone though!! Don’t feel like you have to have anything important to say, just idle chat is cool!

Bump is really feeling bigger than ever right now, is really getting difficult to get up from a lying position now and generally move about!! The midwife says he is head down and ready to go, though not engaged at all yet…he still wriggles around plenty though even though there’s not much room for him in there. Still haven’t spotted a hand or foot poking out yet, but hoping it will be in the next couple of weeks though, and will definitely try and get some video of it if possible.

Anyway I think that’s enough for tonight, looking forward to easter weekend and 4 days off work YAY! Time to spend some more time sorting the house, finding harder to get the energy to do stuff in the evenings now and we still have a few boxes to unpack so would like to get them done over these 4 days…and only 15 working days left – wohooooo!!!
