I finished work last week Friday and i'm now officially on maternity leave and the waiting game has started....I'me made the most of my time sleeping, sleeping, doing a very little bit of house work and sleeping.
Sam and the kids (Yvonne, Vetti and Barry) came down for 2 days and i was elated seeing the kids again. The girls have definitely grown up and are a lot more mature, obviously with having two younger siblings to look out for. Barry is an adorable non-stop talking happy chappie, with bouts of tantrums thrown here and there, hehe
We went to check out the Baloons over Waikato event in the weekend and it was an awesome experience, however i was struggling with the long walk and standing for too long. Luckily, i took my Chiefs blanket, so I was constantly on the ground giving my back a much needed rest.
When those 4 left, our house was all of a sudden, ghostly-quiet and empty....also a welcome feeling tho, i missed having the kids around, they definitely made life so much more full, hectic, drawn out....aarrrhhh i miss the lil' shits.
Last night, we went to Alli and Scott's house for dinner and a round of BUZZ, which we sucked at, but it was fun nevertheless.
However, last night i woke up with a really sore throat and ear, as if i was about to get the cold/flu, so i woke up and drank hot camomile tea, gargled and went back to bed.
I hope this doesn't get worse, I have been doing so well until this lil' mishap.
Fleur, Relle and the kids arrive today from Auckland, so i better run off and have a
peaceful nap before the crowds invade my peaceful sanctuary!!!
We saw the midwife yesterday, she was informative and helpful, we also found out that baby had turned, now facing my left side...which explains the pains on my left side the last few sleepless nights.
Midwife reckons bebe will be late, as the head has not yet engaged. Apparently, walking helps a lot, so today i was walking like a madwoman, right foot on the curb, left on the road to the cafe, and then back home, left foot on the curb, right on the road...so bebe please please you better come out i am sooooo over being pregnant and my stretchmarks are worsening!!!!Do it for yo vain momma!!!!!
Baby CountDown....watch this space!!!!
