28 weeks - 12 weeks to go!

I can't believe how the time is flying. We are getting sorted for the baby room. Spent lots of time over the past long Easter weekend doing stuff. Got a heater for the cold nights, blinds are getting made as we speak, feeding chair arriving on Monday and the cot looking more and more like a little person is going to be in there. Also, today something very special arrived in the post from Granny Blight. See pics above. A very stunning blanket that is so warm and some very cute knitted things. So so cute and exciting! Thank you mom.

Tummy seems like its growing every day. Lots and lots of kicks and movement all the time. I can't really tie my shoe laces very well and putting on my boots is near impossible. But very excited that is seems monkey junior is growing big which is good!

Going for a scan next week and will have my blood checked again for any antibodies (because I am rhesus negative) and Shane is positive and it could be a risk if the baby is positive too!

25 week scan

We went for another check up today. Baby now weighs a healthy 929 grams! Nearly at the 1kg mark! The baby's hands and feet were in front of its face so we couldn't see much so we didn't get a scan pic. But the doctor said she is very happy with the baby's growth and everything seems 100% and normal.

Things are starting to feel very real now. I feel like there is so much to do before this little person arrives in our life! I know I still have time, but me being me, I need to get things sorted! Just with the baby room really. We also need to go for a hospital tour so I can see what I am in for. We also start our ante natal classes on the 10th of May which I am looking forward to! Its once a week for 6 weeks.

Till next time!

Tummy @ 24 weeks

Lady muck ;)

Ok, so here are some tummy pics taken on the 2nd of April at Thomas Bass' 1st birthday where Shane took some pics for Jules and Bass.

I am awake early, not sure if its my body practicing for when the baby is here or if its just the hideous paint smell that has taken over our house. We are busy painting a wall in our kitchen and Shane had to paint a primer on it yesterday and it still smells so bad!

Yay for Friday! Going to the Rigby's on Saturday and the Mallies on Sunday for a braai. Trying to get as much in as we can before our lives 'apparently' will come to a grinding halt after the baby arrives!

Baby Furniture!

YAY! So our first lot of baby furniture has arrived! Cot and matching compactum! Shane went to fetch it yesterday. We are both very happy with them! See sneak preview above. We have bought some fabric to have a feeding chair made, so now that will be the next thing. Then blinds and a few other bits and bobs.

Its a very big wake up call to see this furniture in the room. I felt quite emotional seeing it, but in a good way! So excited for baby to arrive in July!

Shane about to assemble the cot!

Getting fat! Happy to have the furniture arrive!

Cot and compactum!
