Dan said this morning 'We are 37 weeks tomorrow and bubs can come anytime now' 'We're full term'.
Can you believe it?? Time has gone sooooo fast!
Today I spent the day packing mine and bubs bags - yes I know I am not organized and late with packaging bags but they are DONE!
When we had the scare last Monday that we might be in early labour I found myself running around the house trying to find things to take with me and I probably didn't even have everything.
Now today I had a check list and have ticked off everything for bubs.
Last things we need to do is put the pram together and get the capsule in the car and then I think we are completely set to go.
I actually watched a video on Monday with a lady giving birth and I was traumatised that I have to go through all that. Us poor women!! But then it made tears come to my eyes when I saw the mother with her newborn.
I am scared but excited at the same time. Scared about having to give birth and go through a labour that could last for hours. I'm scared I'll forget what to do for the best care of bubs - I feel like all my childcare knowledge has kind of just flown out of my brain. But then when I discussed my fears with Dan last night he said 'Don't worry all your natural instincts with being a mummy will come to you' and he's right.... well lets hope so anyways ;P
Last Friday I finished up at work for maternity leave.
Gosh these past 3 days have been such a challenge... I felt lonely on the first day thinking my gosh I don't like this as I'm so used to having people constantly around me at work.
Having week days off and not having to go to work is really weird... I haven't had a break like this for 6-7 years!
There isn't much to do really... If I go out then I'll spend money on things we don't need. When I'm at home theres just housework really and that's not fun haha.
I could study my personal training course which I really need to get ontop off but that's another case of that's not fun.
When I walked into the office last Monday to start my last week I got the best surprise with my desk being decorated up, was very sweet!!
More people in the family is ALWAYS a happy thing. It's so lovely to see couples such as you being so excited about a new member of the family. :) In today's career-driven, money-focused and soul-eating world, finding people who really care about their family is becoming harder and harder. I hope people take leaves out of your book.
ReplyDeleteWho knows, you might add another real soon and find that you need a bigger car. Hehehe.. Consider the Holden Captiva. :)
