39weeks6 days!!

EEEEEEEKKKK!!!!! due date tomorro WOOHOO happy due date to us happy due date to us!!!!
THis is pretty FREAKIN exciting huh?
Within one week we will be parents .
woke up at 4am this morning with a stabing pain in my side and thought WICKED THIS IS IT!!! but after 2 hours and nothing i was thinking mmmm little bit premature thinking that was it doris ha ha, but anyhoo thats another day for me to sort my shite out or do absolutely nothing and catch up on tv and sleep since im waking evey 1.5 hours now not 2 hours. went for a swim at the gym and that has eased the aching hips back and pelvis for a bit.
whats the chances i will actually get more sleep when kiddles is out cause im seriously not really getting any as it is so maybe my super clever child is actually training me for surviving on no sleep already?? I have been saying to angus that we do have a super clever kidlet growing inside me ha ha. which gives me moments of super cleverness (when im not dropping glasses and plates and walking into stuff).

oh and im due tomorro and people say oh your baby runs out of room towards the end blah blah blah well this kiddles still manages to move around and beat the living shite out of me constantly and as for counting those 10 movements a day? i get 10 movements every 15 minutes ha ha well my midife says a moving baby is a happy baby so im running with that one.

ON the stretch and sweep front , it was fine my cervix is back a bit and comes forward as you get closer to going into labour so getting another on weds and friday and next monday so we will see, but NO it didnt hurt and NO im not in labour yet. so stay tuned my little precious followers and no doubt i wil post a blog when i start to go into labour or will send a bulk text as im leaning over the toilet puking or sitting on the toilet with the runs or lying in the back seat of the car screaming at andrew to get to the hospital quicker.

oh and the stretch marks i didnt have a couple of days ago have just started to make a appeareance so looks like this baby needs to be evacuated soon for my own vain needs. ha ha just kidding.

oh and what is it with feeling the need to do or get something and you are not happy until its done?
today it is , i really want a nice white beautiful valance to go on the bottom of my bed and crisp white egyptian sheets and duvet etc so my bed is like a hotel bed???

the last thing was a babys woollen cot blanket (which i got pheuuww)
i will let ya know how i go on the hotel bed front but dont think its going to happen somehow.

the baby has the hiccups so i gotta go and try get comfortable.

39week4day

met up with this awesome photographer this morning called "SELF TIMER!" ha ha
thought i better get a cool pic of the tum before it deflates and everyone who doesnt see me gets to see the babes house and size of it in its full glory.

39weeks2 days ha ha

sleeping in two hour stints through the night.

husband having anxiety attacks about timing contractions. so not sleeping either.

still feel a bit queasy today.

cant wait for stretch n sweep on monday.

hope it rains on weekend (just so much easier to do nothing when it rains)

stil in one piece.

a friend has lent me about 15 latest movies to get through before baby comes.

baby moving lots and getting lots of braxton hicks.

bad bad day-39weeks 1 day

had a bad bad day yesterday.
got up had breaky then went DOWN HILL big time.
I had a baby that was doing somersaults in my belly then the worst ever backache, then bellyache. so i went for number 2's (3 times too much info) and still felt yukky so had a bath (on my tummy if you can picture it)
then put myself back to bed to read a book feel sorry for myself and had a snooze. then re emerged at 1.30pm still feeling a bit queasy and yuk but bit better, force fed myself food then went down the road to pretend i felt normal, supermarket visit then back home and managed to make tea for the master of the house.
Now i have put the yukky day down to a few things.
IM on iron tabs (natual ones that dont constipate you?)
inserting two capsules of evening primrose oil a night (only have done 2 nights)
or just a grumpy baby that does not like things that smell around her head and has a fit because of it ha ha that sounds funny and prob best answer i reckon.
i didnt insert the EPO capsules last night (these are to bring on labour aparently) as i couldnt stand another crap day, and thought im sure if munchkin is going to come the stretch n sweep will be the best way to bring it on then the stupid capsules.

on a different subject.......

i have bought a new camera as you can tell from the last photo.
It is drop proof 1.5metres , shock proof, waterproof 3metres, snowproof, baby puke proof, baby projectile poo proof
so as we (I) have gone through 4 cameras in 4 years i thoght this could JUST BE the perfect model for us (me).
I have managed to drop it 3 times this morning shhhh dont tell angus.
oh and i purchased a extra 3 year warranty on this little bad boy so on top of the 12 month warranty this thing will last us the next 4 years!!!!

well i might properly pack the hospital bags today and go to a movie with a girlfriend hope i can enjoy some of it between trips to toilet and moving in seat due to sore back he he.

39 weeks

here we are !!! one week til due date.

docs say all is good and they wont induce till at least 7th april so i will keep all updated.
Most IVF pregnancys get induced bang on due date but cause of my age and i healthy etc, they want me to hopefully go naturally, more chance of a VB (vaginal birth) if i go on my own so fingers crossed for little golden girl to make her debut in the next 13 days yippeeee.
getting a stretch n sweep on monday the 30t march so opefully that may get things moving naturally .

murphys law

my camera breaks and im due soon ha ha.
nothing much else to say but 38 weeks today and my brain and body has slowed down HEAPS!!
ive started acupuncture which is pretty cool to help with the labour.
people are still giving all sorts of advice and saying weird things.
how about this one ....
"you know your baby can die still? they do sometimes this far along?" (from a man)
NICE ONE THANKS FOR THAT

so no picture for the 38 week but hopefully wll put one up before i pop.

had quite a few visitors on the weekend about 9hours worth????havent even had the baby yet??? i was pretty tired from a wedding we went too so started to feel like i was the local freak show and entertainment attration in the area. ha ha.
i do hope people ring or text first as i dont think i can handle randoms turning up all the time especially iff im tired or emotional uh oh ha ha. i would say its the biggest anxiety for first time parents after speakiing to all the girls in my antinatal group. everyones bigest worry is the influx of people ha ha.

well i havent hit that feeling that everyone goes on aabout "oh i cant wait for this to be over blah blah im so over it blah blah get her out of me blah blah i mean seriously this being a IVF pregnancy i have known from day dot that we were pregnant (and the 7 week build up before being pregnant means a good year of this experience!!)
so its been a LONG pregnancy but definetly im not wishing it over yet???? i dont get it?? maybe cause we appreciate it a bit more being IVF or maybe there are other people that do appreciate it but you just hear the complaining ones the most and the others like me that enojoy it are just more quiet about it ha ha.

im not worried about the birth at all im looking forward to it bring it on baby!! we cant wait to meet our litle precious princess.
i think i appreciate the fact some people can never experience this, i look back now (when we were tryng for the 4 years)and think of all the times i thought to myself "god i would kill just to be pregnnant and be able to experience everything!(when people would complain about pain and other stuff to do with pregnanncy)
and now im 2WEEKS away from being a mummy OH MY GOODNESS.
At acupunctre the other day i said to her (acuuncturist) i think the time feels right for me to have a baby now im calm and not stressed about anything and feel really ready and if we had fallen pregnant when we were tryin for so long maybe the time wouldnt have been right, maybe in a way everything does happen for a reason at certain times in our life?
(now someone did say this to me when i was doing IVF and i nearly punched them ha ha)
i dont know but i better go as im getting all airy fairy and my brain is hurting from having to think for longer than 10 minutes he he.

36weeks

Well ive done it, no more work PHEUUWWW!!!
Have managed to clean house windows, clean pantry, washing, cleaning,etc etc and have a nap in the avo each day ha ha.
Days go so fast when your not working but i am definetly not complaining.
