Last day of work!

So, this day has arrived! I can't believe it. I am not sure yet how I feel. Excited obviously to have some relaxing weeks ahead, but also feeling a bit anxious about what the near future holds! Its so unknown, just don't know how to prepare myself better than I already have!

I am glad its winter in a way so I have a 'license' to wrap up warm in bed or on the couch and drink lots of tea! For those of you who are free or flexi during the day, please come and visit! Need lots of distractions!

Going for a check up tomorrow, so will post a new update tomorrow!

Till then!

Family, my birthday & baby shower!!

WOW is all I can say about this past weekend. We were SO SO SO spoilt by family and friends. Mom, Nix, Matt & Adam arrived on the evening of Wednesday the 15th in the pouring raining. We had a divine dinner and then woke up on my birthday with family around which was amazing! I got a Kindle for my birthday from everyone which is super exciting!!!! I still need to sit down and learn how to use the Kindle, but super excited to get going on that! We went for lunch to Cafe Roux with some friends and family which was lovely too. Then just had dinner at home that evening! Nick and Lol arrived in the afternoon, and Amy Lou came for dinner too. Super special to have so much family around on my birthday.

On Friday we went for the scan and then went and had a divine dinner in town on Friday night with some of Lolly's friends. Was nice to get out and try a new restaurant!

Then on Saturday it was my baby shower. I have never felt so spoilt in my life! It was at Caro & Anton's new lovely house. Thank you Caro for hosting! It was a perfect venue! Thank you to Jules Bass, my sisters and especially to my mom for the most wonderful baby shower ever. I was seriously spoilt and about 90% ready for this baby to arrive now! Thank you also to each and every one of my friends for all the wonderful gifts, advise, support and love that we have got over the last 8 months or so. We really are very lucky to have such alot of love in our lives. Monkey Junior has no idea how lucky he/she is already!

All I need to do is pack my hospital bag, wash some baby clothes and bedding and then ready! I hope to put my feet up in the last few weeks leading up to the birth and RELAX! Watch lots of DVDs, have a few nice dinners out, walk on the beach and just do some normal things!

Thank you again to everyone!!!

35 week scan

I went for a check up with our OB on Friday the 17th of June! Mom, Lol and Nix came with which was divine! It was such a good scan and could see little monkey's face so nicely. Poor Shane didn't come and it was such a good one. The baby is still facing down which is great. The Dr said there is very little chance of it turning now so this is good news! All seems good with size of head, body, tummy etc and weight now is about 2.7kg which is great! We are going for another check up next week Thursday.

I feel like my tummy is VERY big. Running out of space in my tummy day by day. Still such cute little movements going on which is so sweet and special. Back is taking a bit of strain, but I think this is to be expected. Sleeping is okay, not amazing but not terrible. Got 8 days left of work which is just super exciting and then have a few weeks to get all the final things sorted for the arrival of monkey junior. We are still not 100% sure of names, but getting there! It is not easy!
