34 Weeks

Number three of the Ante-natal classes...which again Russell proceded o wiggle and hiccup through!! It was a little more interesting this week. We went through all the procedures and reasons for a c-section (which I am really hoping to avoid) and watched a few short minutes of a few videos of an actual c-sections...without all the gory bits. Then we talked about packing ward, labour and nappy bags to take to the hospital...which I made lists for this weekend and started packing...hard to do though when you are wearing the only clothes that fit and they need to be packed...means I have to keep on top of the washing!! We (well DH!!) had a practise of folding nappies and wrapping a baby. He did a good job on both but came home and decided that he needed to practise on the cat! I don't think she was very impressed!





He was going to try the nappy to...but Nikita wouldn't have a bar of it!

We also went to the OB's this afternoon. He said I am right to work for a few more weeks...13 days to go and counting! My blood pressure is still good and Bubs is still head down, bum pushing into my rib cage!

There are a few things I'm now having difficulty doing...like washing the dog, putting on socks and reversing the car...hard to turn around to see properly and therefor I try and avoid doing it! But I can still touch my toes and do all the others things too...just a bit more slowly and carefully than before!
I still sleep like a rock with only one early morning toilet stop at about 4:30. I'm generally pretty tiredby 10pm though!

We picked up the pram on Monday (of which is staying boxed for a few more weeks to save the dust and dirt getting on it from under the house) and ordered a bedside table for beside the rocking chair for feeding. I'm still waiting on 10 more boxes/storage things for the shelves and then the nursery is done! I started washing the nappies on the weekend and will eventually get to all the clothing and bed linen to.
Current Nappy Stash... Still a few more second hand ones to add from Joy and I think I need a Berry Plush Cover...still deciding on colours though!
Firestorm
Northern Lights
Rainforest
SunriseTurquoise

LOL at the cat-wrapping! She'll run a mile next time she sees him with anything resembling a wrap! My vote goes for northern lights or rainforest - preferably both ;) I can't believe how close you're getting, although that gorgeous belly puts it into perspective!

You have to stop putting your belly measurements on your blog so no-one can cheat at the shower game! :)

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
