Week 38 – Hangin’ In There

I know I have been really guilty of blog neglect lately and I’m very sorry. Week 38 is here and I’m feeling pretty good although my legs and feet have started to swell and I have really sore hands in the morning. So much for our little boy arriving early! I think he’s changed his mind and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up coming after his due date of 11th May!

Things are all organized here for the baby arriving and our family support will be arriving soon, my two aunts arrive 4th June for 1 week and then my in-laws arrive 8th July for 10 days.

Two weeks ago the girls threw me a baby shower and it was fantastic! There was lots of tasty snacks, party games and towards the end of the afternoon I put on the Wii and there was a mini tennis tournament. We has a really good laugh and our little boy got lots of lovely pressie, he’s an extremely lucky little lad already.

Got the docs on Wednesday afternoon so we’ll see what she has to say about my swelling (hopefully my BP is still ok) and whether she thinks baby will arrive soon or be late. Tonight we’re off to visit two of the girls from the antenatal class who had their babies last week and coincidentally have ended up sharing a room in the hospital, one had a little boy called Connor and the other had the first baby girl we’ve heard of in ages and named her Sophie!

well, good luck with everything! my last baby was 16 days late, i hope you don’t have to wait so long!
nobody ever threw me a baby shower, i am sorry to have missed out. any excuse to have great food is a good one, though, so maybe i’ll just have mine late… a belated mega-shower for 3 kids, that should be one heck of a party!

Glad to hear you are doing well, hope the baby doesn’t hold out too long!

Pamela,

Thanks for the good wishes for the long weekend. Having just read your post, I think you’re the one who needs the break and a little time off. A hectic schedule and only a few days to go! Eva and I send our best wishes and good luck for the next few days and we’ll be in touch.
