En Route

A late one is today’s blog, but it’s worth being up for.

Nicky has finally made it to the point of what can be described as no return, although being 9 months pregnant is fairly non-return in itself.

We had our midwife out earlier today and she did a stretch and sweep (I’m not going into details, but if you want to know Google it!) which kicked off Nicky’s contractions. She’s been putting up with them all afternoon and evening, and whilst they haven’t been long or regular they have been changing the expression on her face :) Continue Reading

She’s Late!!

By 3 days!! How rude! Everyone wants to meet you! So come out now!!!

 Yeah still no signs of baby, no twinges, no pains as everyone keeps asking! Midwife did a sweep on Thursay (look up membrane sweep on Google if you dont know!) and she is supposed to be coming to try again today, but on Thursday my cervix wasn’t looking like baby was coming anytime soon :( Hopefully things have changed today and the next one might be more successful!

Weekend Goodbye

So it’s Sunday night, Top Gear has just finished and that can only mean one thing – The weekend is almost over.

This weekend, I have been working pretty hard on doing Maddy’s new bedroom, which after this weekend, doesn’t need very much at all doing – Hoping to get the majority of it finished on Tuesday when I’m off work. Maddy went to swimming on Saturday, and she was so good this week, and was kicking and almost looked like she was actually swimming – Were so proud.

5 Days and counting…

Yup thats right, 5 days left! Well that’s until due date, doesn’t mean baby will come then. I could in theory have another 3 weeks left!

Finally though we are ready for her, clothes are washed and ironed and crib is up and made, pool and other bits are in the lounge ready, and the midwives homebirth kit is under the kitchen table ready to go, all thats missing now is a baby!! Not really been feeling anything like its coming, but then again I didn’t with Maddy, no warning, just waters breaking the day after she was due! Continue Reading

Not long now!!

Well as the title says, not long to go, only 2 1/2 weeks!! Maddy’s room is looking gorgeous! Rich has worked so hard in it this week and all the big jobs are now done. Just some filling and a few other little jobs to be done and it will be finished. Will put the furniture up this week and then start to move Maddy’s clothes up there.

This week I didn’t actually manage to do a lot, little bits in between rests and naps, but I did manage to sort through all the baby clothes and wash it all. Mum did a load of ironing last night, but there is still a fair bit to go, then need to spend an evening in there preparing it for baby!! Continue Reading
