Well the baby is packed and ready to go – I have had the babies clothes, washed and folded and sitting on my dresser for about 2weeks now, I finally packed them during the week.
This gorgeous little picnic basket was given to me by my grandmother (paternal), when I was pregnant with LB#1 she gave this too me chock full of gorgeous baby clothes, I have used it to take both lots of baby stuff to hospital for both boys, and now baby #3 is also packed and ready to go!
These two tiny jackets are packed and they make my heart flutter with joy – the white one on the left was knitted by my grandmother (maternal) when I was pregnant with LB#1, both little boys have worn it and it is now baby #3 turn.
The creamier jacket was knitted by my great-grandmother for me when I was born, this is one of three that my mother kept and passed onto me. I cannot tell you how much it means to me, I wore these jackets and now all my children have/will wear these jackets – they are beautiful and priceless.
My mother kept them in her bottom drawer, carefully wrapped in tissue for 28years before passing them onto me, the wool is thick and the knitting is strong and careful – how I love them!
When this last child of mine grows out of them (which won’t take long, let me tell you) I too will carefully wash, fold and wrap in tissue ready for a third generation.
I cannot bring myself to pack my own bags, I don’t know why. With both boys now I left the packing to the last minute and it somehow feels like it gives me something to do whilst waiting……………….this time I am booked in for a planned c-section I will probably pack the day before, should I go early – well I guess I will pack then!!!! I feel too restless to pack my own bags!
Today was a particularly lovely day, cool this morning and then 25deg, sun shining a little bit of a breeze but all in all – GORGEOUS!
Took the to park with the other girls from our Mum’s group, it was lovely….I do now however have some pretty impressive fat ankles to show for it!!!!
Hmmmm………obviously did not drink enough water today or the warmer weather is getting to me! When I was pregnant with LB#1 it was right in the middle of an Australian summer – HOT – all I could wear for weeks was thongs (flip-flops f0r the visiting yanks!), I wore out two pairs and got mighty sick of looking at BIG FAT BLOATED ankles.
My gums swelled up yesterday and I was convinced I had a cavity, off to the dentist today and although I don’t have a cavity I have a chipped filling.
Apparently because of my cold I have been clenching my teeth in my sleep, this has chipped my old filling, this in turn has aggravated my gums and my very vigorous flossing has made matters worse. Growth hormones in my body have made my gums enlarged more than usual and pregnancy makes your gums sensitive anyway.
So,
- Mangled sore gums – bleeding
- Chipped filling
- Swollen Face
and $220 big ones later, my gums are still sore and my face still feels swollen. 
Have been told to lay off the floss for at least a week.
BTW – Having ANY kind of dental work when you are 35weeks pregnant is NOT advisable, had to get the dentist to keep stopping as laying on your back for too long starts to make you a little faint.
*sigh*
Well it is abundantly clear that I simply SUCK at regular blogging…………..hmmmm February, quite a lot has happened since Feb……..here is a brief update for you:
- I have been sick
- I have been well
- I have been sick again and quite a few more times after that
- I had a 12week scan that went great
- I had a 20week scan, that whilst the result was OK the trainee took 50mins to do it and I was incrediably uncomfortable the entire way through
- I have been to holidays on Cairns and surprise, surprise – GOT SICK
- I have had my regular appointments with Dr Porsche and they have been beautifully mundane and boring…….
- I have had several MAJOR emotional wig-outs, one last Tuesday was particularly memorable and forced my BIG BOY to come home from work – I think he thought I was going to kill the little boys
- I have been booked in for an elective c-section – 18th September….
So dear readers (HA – who am I KIDDING I seriously DO NOT believe anyone is actually reading this), we have a little under 5weeks to go until the DAY and I will try my very, very hardest to faithfully record the last part of my journey!!!
TIRED……with a capital “T”……I don’t just mean the tired you feel when you’ve had a couple of late nights in a row. I am talking about the kind of tired you get when you can feel it in the marrow of your bones, my body is tired, my brain is tired and I am sick and tired of being tired.
LB#1 & #2 are probably sick to death of thier mother about right now, I don’t really feel enthusiastic about doing anything, we went to the supermarket today and that was a marathon outing.
Beginning to think that I am either pregnant with twins and/or anenmic – perhaps it is both.
Almost everyone we know has been told that we are expecting our third, reactions have been mixed but almost everyone is amazed and happy for us. Sometimes I wonder if I am happy for us? This poor third child of mine is going to grow up wondering if he/she was every really wanted and/or loved….I can see the headline now “My Mother’s pregnancy blog ruined my life”……………………did I mention I was a drama queen in a former life?????
Positive - Well that is pretty clear?
Two pink lines = Another pregnancy, another baby………oh my…..
