Could be any day now......getting constant 'niggles' and signs....could be wishful thinking, I'm feeling very ready to meet our new little family member!
Who are you - boy? girl? hair? no hair? look like me? look like hubby? look like Sophie? Weight? Time? Labour length? Day?
So many questions, so few answers - roll on D day!!

34 weeks and growing fast!
Nothing much to report, other than I'm growing fast, bubs is still moving lots and there is only 6 or so weeks to go - eek!
Have packed hospital and labour bags and washed all the clothes ready to go - hard to believe there will be a being that small in the house again.....so cute to see all the tiny things on the line....my 'little' girl is so grown up now it's hard to believe she ever fitted into those teeny tiny clothes!

Insomniac....
As I write this, I'm about to head back to bed. I've been awake since just after 1pm, having gone to bed at 10.30. I got out of bed at 4am and played on the computer for a few hours, it's now 6.45am. Figure I should try and get SOME sleep!!
Guess it's just my body getting ready for the all night feeding frenzies that are sure to occur in those first few weeks.....zzzzzz

Yukky!
2nd blood test this morning....yuk!
The 1st one Sophie got quite distressed because of my reaction - I'm actually quite phobic about needles and blood, so this time dosed myself up with Rescue Remedy (magic stuff!) and tried to remain calm and chatty. She was totally fine, saying 'Go Mummy Go!' all the way through and was actually quite fascinated by the blood filling the tube (I didn't look!!).
I think the ladies at this particular blood collection place are so wonderful - they never make a fuss when I say I need to have the blood taken while lying down, they never make me feel silly for having a fear about it all and they do it quickly and painlessly and try to distract Sophie as well - thanks ladies!!
So, all in all, it went well although I felt much better walking out (well almost running actually!) than I did walking in!!

Update - nearly week 29
Well, according to this gorgeous chart, bubs is nearly as big as a squash.....funny to watch the progression of size according to fruit and veges!
Still a mover and groover and now I can feel when a foot is poking out. The other day at the midwife I said I'd felt a sharp little edge and she confirmed it was a heel, so bubs is still head down at this stage, but it's early days of course!
Sophie now likes to lie with her head on my belly and tells me to 'shush Mummy, I'm listening to the baby".....so cute!!

3rd Trimester!
Here I am in the third trimester, 13ish weeks to go!! Can hardly believe it. Not a lot to report, this baby is still wiggling around a lot, especially if I drink something cold or eat chocolate.....or at night when I lie still and want to be sleeping lol

Boot camp
I don't know whether it's because it's second time around, or whether it's because I'm so much thinner this time around, but boy (and that's no hint on gender, we still don't know!!) this bub is so active and such a kicker!!
Sophie loves watching and feeling the baby kick and has started singing to the baby what she calls "the baby song"......'go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep (this third one goes up into notes only dogs can hear! lol) little baby'.....so very, very cute - brings happy tears to my eyes. She is so lovely with the belly, can only hope that the bond is as strong once the baby comes out.
She delights in telling everyone that once the baby is big, big, big (yes, we'll stop there thanks!), when the baby comes out it will do: a lot, a lot of sleeping; a lot, a lot of crying; and a lot, a lot of pooing, but I will rock the baby, sing to the baby and read the baby stories.....awwww!
