So it has been a while since I did my last blog entry! It seems every time i sit down to write something, the girls start fighting, the washing machine finishes, or something equally mundane pops up and I have to abort the task at hand!
So I am 36 weeks prego 2moro, and very excited to soon meet our baby girl! I have a midwives app tomorrow afternoon, and my midwife is going to see if the little munchkin is still breech, (which she is, trust me!) and if so, is going to schedule me an app with the doctor for him to try and ‘turn’ her. Now I was a little unsure about the sound of this, so started asking all my girlfriends if they had any experience with this. Well...big mistake! All I have heard is “it is the worse pain I have ever felt!” And this coming from ladies who themselves have had natural births and know what real pain is! Regardless, I will do whatever it takes to have the safest birth for my baby, so fingers crossed she cooperates and turns all by herself!
It has been super hot here, so I have been struggling with the heat a bit. I’m just soooo tiiiirrreeddd! I just sit on the couch looking at all the house work and think, “sweet baby Jesus.” And then I start saying things like “Chloe, if you pick up all the toys in the lounge room, I’ll give u a lollypop!” Sooo bad, I know. But anything on the floor is in the too hard basket. If I drop something, it’s like it’s in slow motion with me going “Noooooooo!” It is just so hard to bend all the way down to pick anything up. So when I see a loungeroom scattered with little girl’s toys, I just want to curl into a foetal position and rock!
It’s not all bad. This will definitely (most probablyJ) be our last baby, so every little kick, hiccup or roll is special! People keep saying to me, “oh you must be dying for it to be over!” Well, not when you know you will probably never go through this experience again! And what is it with people telling you whatever is on their mind about your pregnancy or family? I had a customer at work say to me “So do you know what you are having?” And I said, “Yes, our third little girl!” And they turned around and said “Oh you poor things, I feel sorry for u.” Me thinking he was joking started laughing, and he just stood there looking at me as if to say, ‘No, I’m serious!’ Needless to say I calmly turned around, walked away and insisted on my work mate dealing with him thereafter. How dare he say something like that? So what if we don’t get the boy I know Bill would love, but we have 3 healthy, beautiful little girls, (well, nearly!) who we both adore and treasure, and would not give up for the world! Some people should just keep their opinions to themselves!
On that note, now I have got my venting done!
I got to do my favourite thing in the world the other day. Bill was at home so said “Why don’t you go into town and get yourself a book?” Well, I think I had my bag and keys and was halfway out the door before he could finish the sentence! I could browse around a book shop alllll day! The smell of the brand new books, the feel of the fresh, uncreased covers. There is just something about a bookshop that makes me so calm, I just forget about everything else and get lost in the stories and re-encounters on the pages. I ended up straying from the novels and actually got a book called ‘Raising Girls’ instead! Which is turning out to be a very interesting read which I’m sure will come in very handy in the coming years!
Anyhoo, I will be back soon to keep my posts up, well at least until the baby comes! Here are some Belly Pics with my beautiful Chloe:) She loves her little sister so much already, kissing and cuddling my belly all the time! Is too cute! Chow for now!:)
