39/40

It has been a pretty long time between posts. It's not that my life is uninteresting and what not, its just the I have been so darn busy! This has been the first time since finishing up at work that I've actually had the want and effort to write something down. 

Baby is progressing well and we are nearing our EDD nicely. He moves about like a trooper, so very strong already! He lets me get minimum sleep at night, I have never had insomnia this badly before. Worse then insomnia is that weird sleep thing where your not sure if you are asleep or awake? I had that last night.. feels like I haven't slept a wink. At all. So tired.

And then, on top of insomnia, I've been given dreadful heartburn and reflux, I burp a ridiculous amount of times throughout the day, when I do sleep I snore.. but at least I'm looking good and feeling healthy!

We finished the nursery off on the weekend, its looking rather cute, even if I do say so myself. We also did the whole massive house clean/ nesting! I started a quilt for bub, which probably wont get finished til after he is born and we finished off all his washing (about time really). 

Miss Bug has been going well, we had a week long stay at the hospital 2 weeks ago due to an infection but she seems to have bounced back well and is back to her old happy self. 

So, for now, we just play the waiting game and see how much longer we wait for the newest addition to make his appearance into the big wide world!

I cant wait!

This pregnancy is just flying by! The last few weeks have probably been the easiest out of all of them... despite the constant squirming in my tummy I have barely felt pregnant (besides not being able to bend over at all). We got an ultrasound on the weekend and our little cherub is doing well and looking quite handsome if I may say so myself.

I am, however, counting down the weeks until I go on maternity leave! Bring it on! With this week finished I will only have five for weeks of work to go.. sounds like a lot but I am truly hoping it will be as easy as the last couple of weeks. 

Also, I have come to realise that a baby sitting DIRECTLY on your bladder is a bloody pain! I have never ever had to go to the toilet so much in my whole entire life.

On another note, we took Miss Bug to Newtown Festival on the weekend and she had an absolute blast! My lil thrill seeker went on all the rides and chilled in the sun listening to the live music and ate a sausage sizzle. 

Lovely day out had by all!

Stay tuned for more happenings!

I heart my pregnancy body

I ABSOLUTELY love my pregnancy body.

It's probably the first time I've ever felt truly comfortable in my own skin.

It has taken me ages to build confidence in myself and to actually truly accept that I am me, I am perfect to myself and my beautiful daughter and to the baby growing inside of me.

I want my daughter to grow up with the confidence it took me 24 years and 2 pregnancies to develop.

To me, my daughter is the most beautiful little girl in the world and both her father and I remind her of this every chance we get.

Having body issues and no confidence is probably one of the worst feelings and it is definitely something I don't want her to feel.

So today (even though it's late), I am most definitely proud of my wonderful body, no matter how many stretch marks, lumps and bumps I may get.

I am me and I am happy to be who I am!

• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• olive oil cooking spray
• 4 (100g each) beef minute steaks

 It's been a pretty good week on the home front. Setting up the nursery makes things really sink in... Wow, I'm having another baby! =P

Miss Bug has been sick with a viral infection (thanks preschool!) So this means days off school for her and days off work for me. On the positive it means I get to catch up on the house work!

 

Linking up with Tina 

Come play along!!
