Baby Update - Week 35

Just back from the doctors, I’ve been told to have total rest for the next two weeks since the baby’s head is now engaged and I’ve started to efface.  I’ve been off work since last week and I’ve been trying to rest but apparently I’ve not been doing a good enough job.

My doc says she’ll  be happier if baby will stay put for another two weeks but he’s perfectly healthy and is measuring about 2.6kg (5lb 11oz in old money) so if I do go into labour the hospital will not halt it but I too would prefer if he doesn’t come yet.  No baby profile pics today I’m afraid as it wasn’t possible to get a shot of him in profile today since his head is now so far down.

Other than really bad backache I’ve been keeping pretty well.  I get tired really easily these days and have had no motivation to come up with interesting new recipes so I apologize once again for the lack of posts here lately.

I’m really looking forward to next Saturday as it’s my baby shower, the girls are coming round for the afternoon and I’ve been warned that I’m not allowed to lift a finger!

We’re off to our penultimate antenatal class this evening. I’ve really enjoyed the classes all the couples in the class are very nice and hopefully we’ll all be able to keep in touch.

Have fun!
