Update... but no news yet...

Wednesday and still no signs of impending labour...
I suppose I am a bit too impatient - we are not quite 39 weeks yet but I reallly am wondering when this thing will start happening!!
Sleeping at night is getting to be a bit of a mission - with turning around and the massive belly in the way, getting up to go to the bathroom at least 3/4 times a night...
Oh well, the joys of pregnancy!
We will be going to the doctor tomorrow, hopefully she has some good news...
:)

Waiting...

It is Saturday afternoon and after about 3 hours of studying I am now allowing myself to RELAX! :) The past two days have been quiet and calm, no signs of labour yet...

Yesterday morning we moved my massive book-case out of the baby room and into the study, so now the room belongs 100% to the new little one. It is already looking beautiful - a true 'family-project' with furniture made by the granddad-to-be, curtains by the granny-to-be, and linen, blankets, pillows etc by other family members!

My mom and sister Cara - justifiably proud of the beautiful curtains!! :)

Otherwise not much news, waiting patiently for the unpredictable moment to arrive...

Will keep you up to date!

Expecting Emma...

Today is Thursday 24 July and we are almost 38 weeks pregnant...

I am expecting my first little one, a baby girl we decided to give the precious name of Emma :) and we cannot wait to meet her!! I stopped working last week Friday (exiting with a 24-hour shift!) and now we are rested and ready for action!

Up to now I had a really 'easy' pregnancy, and have nothing to complain about aside from the 'normal' niggles (being huge and uncomfortable!). We are planning a normal delivery, and quite excited about it except for the unpredictability which is, at times, a bit unnerving... I really hope that we won't have to wait until the expected date (which is around the 8th of August)...

This is me with my huge belly ;) ...

And this is me with my three sisters (pic taken at my baby-shower)...

Hopefully I'll be able to post pics of the little monkey really soon :) until then you'll have to be content with 'the belly'...

Will keep you up to date with any news!
