Time drags on *sigh*

Tuesday 01.09.09

So we're nearing the end of this life-forming journey... and the weeks are just dragging on ever so slowly. The first 7mths just seemed to have flown and was gone without even blinking... now it's like watching paint dry. Maybe its got something to do with me feeling so uncomfortable and sore. X likes to dig under my ribs and make himself all nice and cosy in there - it certainly isnt cosy for me :( The pressure of his head makes it hard to walk and my stomach is enormous i can barely get near the sink to wash dishes. I look freaking huge! Esp since i'm only 5ft 1, so my belly can only grow out lol Now sleeping... what the heck is that? I'm awake every hour or so, just to move my body pillow and roll over, its such a task lol

I finally got to see the Dr last week and discuss my concerns about having a big baby naturally and tearing again as badly (or worse) like when i had Kailee. Thankfully she was understanding and has ordered an ultrasound to check how big this little man is already, and then discuss my options for birth - natural or c section. Either way, i keep reminding myself he's going to get out one way or another, whether i push him out or he gets cut out. He can't live in my tummy forever, thank goodness :) So i can't wait for my ultrasound on Monday (7th Sept) to get a peek at my little man again, and see how he's growing. I'll also ask for them to double check the sex - tho i'm pretty darn sure its a boy (based on my 19wk u/s, dream i had at the beginning of my pregnancy, timing of sex in relation to ovulation etc).

Kailee is getting so excited about meeting her little brother. She's already pushing her dolls around in his pram, wrapping them in his little baby blankets :) Tonite she was even singing nursery rhymes to X in my belly, and he was kicking - which she got to see, it was adorable!!But, until next time.... i'm off to bed to try and sleep. My folks are moving house this week, so i'm gonna help pack stuff and keep mum company while she does the hard work :) I'll post updates after i've had my scan and spoken to the dr next week - i can't wait!!

As a parting gift - here's my belly pic taken last week @ 32wks. Can u say HUGE?!?

Being pregnant isn't always a cup of tea...

Tuesday 04.08.09

I'm starting to realise just how easy my pregnancy with Kailee was. This whole pregnancy has been full of drama - not that its such a bad thing lol I've had morning sickness til 12wks, migraines so bad i've thrown up, been to hospital twice cuz i've been really sick or having pains in my stomach, and more..... I failed my 1hr glucose test (to check for gestational [pregnancy] diabetes) and then had to sit through the 2hr test, thankfully i passed that. So don't need to cut out sugary things like chocolate lol I'm now measuring at least 3wks ahead and the midwife is concerned and wants for the dr to see me at my next antenatal appt. Looks like i might just have a big boy growing inside my tummy - hopefully he doesn't get too big, i still have to give birth to him lol. All is going well otherwise, my iron count is a bit on the low side, meaning i need another blood test at 36wks to check it again. I can't believe there's less than 11wks to go til this little man is due!! I have a feeling he might make an appearance earlier than that tho. (At least i hope so - i really dread going overdue again and i'm already feeling awfully uncomfortable lol).

I'm starting to feel enormous and X doesnt like to sit still in there, he's always wiggling around, poking his body parts out. I keep taking belly pics to see how i'm looking each couple wks, its crazy how much i'm growing. I think i was this big when about to have Kailee - so i can't imagine how big i'm gonna be when X decides to enter this world :O It's so cute watching my belly move as he changes position and Kailee loves feeling her brother poking against my tummy. She always tells me he's poking his butt at her lol Kailee's going to make a great big sister.

I've finally moved into my own place which is fantastic. It's so nice to start getting everything out of boxes n set up Kailee's room. I need to get organised and do my room and start setting up all X's things in the nursery area. I'd like to get it all done before my baby shower which is in less than a couple wks. I'm so excited for Serena to be coming up and all the fun we're gonna have :) I've bought nearly everything i need for X and can't wait for the little guy to hurry up and get here - i'm already over being preg.... big and uncomfortable lol

Til the next update - me and my tummy will keep on growing. I'll come back to post pics when i get some new nice ones :D xxx
