Third Trimester Here We Come!

Well I can't believe that we have come this far. It seems like just the other day that I was sitting on side of the bed staring in disbelief that I was pregnant!

I feel amazing, which is more than I can say for the early part of my pregnancy. Thank goodness the morning sickness has gone but I do believe that it can come back in the last few weeks of term. Anyway I am glad not to be seeing too much of the inside of the loo!

Baby is so active, both day and night. Sometimes I wonder what the little thing is doing in there. Seems to me that I may be going to give birth to a bird, as it seems like it is trying to fly in there.

Tomorrow I have my monthly scan. I look forward to this each month as it means that I get to "see" Mini M. It is amazing to see how much baby has grown from month to month. I can definately tell from the outside that we are ever expanding thats for sure! I have my last monthly appointment with the Midwife on Wednesday, as we go to fortnightly appointments for a few times then down to weekly just before we give birth.

I have had my husband taking tummy photos of me so that I can share them with my family who are spread far and wide over the world. Thank goodness for the internet, as at least this way they too can join in the experience of my pregnancy!

Sleeping at night is becoming a premium. Unfortunately the little one seems to believe that if I am asleeep then it should be awake. And so the kicking begins! Turning over in bed seems to be more like a three point turn now. Then there is the nightly visit to the loo at about 2am that I look forward to - NOT!

Am not really complaining as I really am excited about being pregnant and growing this little human inside my tummy. It is a big responsibility but one that I am keen to take on.  My husband and I are scared, terrified, excited and happy all at the same time.

Well I look forward to "seeing" the little one tomorrow. Will keep you posted on our progress!

Off to Day Care...

Well it was an exciting day in the household of one of best friends. Her six month son was off to his first day at day care.

Off he went with his backpack packed with goodies and clean clothes for the day ahead. Pity that it was raining but I am sure that this would not dampen his spirits for the days adventure!

Mum was brave and no tears were shed by either her or her son. In fact Mum had a great day visiting the hairdressers, as she is back to work herself in a weeks time. She had a fabulous lunch with a couple of amazing people (myself included haha), then home for chores to be done before remembering to pick up the little one at the end of the day!

All reports were that the little one had a great day. Started off a bit teary but ended up on a high and I think is prepared to go back tomorrow!

We have named this week Sarah's week, as she is due back to work on the coming Monday. We have plans for most days this week. They include: lunch, movies, DVD day, shopping and more lunch dates! Got to make the most of it before the end of the week!

Well I am proud of both her and her beautiful son. No one looks forward to going back to work after giving birth over six months ago. I think she is very brave and strong. Don't know how I would feel if I had to go back to work after our little one is born.

Enjoy your week little one and look forward to making new friends at day care.
