I am going into panic mode...This baby is still firmly head in my ribcage and its driving me nuts. I know I need to be patient and just let the days go by but I am so over this pregnancy. I was talking to a friend of mine who also has 3 kiddies and she agrees with me that the more you have the harder it gets. I cant sleep in my bed anymore because its quite a soft matress and I find it very hard to roll over. So I am sleeping in a batman car bed that my son isnt using at the moment coz he is still in his cot. I am missing sleeping next to Matt and feel that he is missing me too - although Im sure he is getting more sleep without me disturbing him everytime I roll over. I am spending a lot of time on all fours in the evening in an attempt to get this bubba turned around. This weekend I start my swimming regime to go along with my walking. Had a great walk along the river where we live on Monday arvo. My friend and her daughter came too and we just pootled along and the girls had their scooters so they were happy. We sat in the sunshine while the kids all played at the park and then walked back when the sun dipped below the trees - just gorgeous. I love this time of year. I found out yesterday that my best mate in NZ is pregnant for the first time. They have been trying for a couple of years so I am just so happy for them! Anyway thats whats happening for me today..I am counting the days. Down to 50 til my due date but everyone says Im not gonna last until then and that bubba will be early. I can only cross my fingers and hope hey!! Bring it on!

Life sucks sometimes dont it! I had a big sook last night. Husband came home at around 7 pm after working since 4.30am. he didnt even say hello to me - only to the kids. I just got a grunt. Basically he came home, had shower then weent to bed. What is frustrating me at the moment is that I am still working fulltime, still cooking, cleaning, shopping, entertaining an 8 year old and a 2 year old. Im not sleeping - I very rarely get to bed before 11pm and Im usually wide awake again at 4am after a restless nights sleep and yet he sleeps whenever he wants and does nothing around the house. I have tried to tell him that I am exhausted and I need for him to help me a bit more but if anything he's gone backwards. Am I just being too demanding?? Do I expect too much? He seems to have no consideration for what i am going thru or how I may be feeling. He says his job is harder coz he's moving all day. My job I admit I do get to sit down a lot all day at a computer but there is also a lot of other stuff i have to be doing too that requires me to be standing. Plus on top of that I am carrying this huge baby - grrrr. Just having a bitch but I just wish he would help me more or at least occasionlly ask me if Im ok or how Im doing. A back rub I think would be just pushing my luck a bit much!

Well I have reached single week figures...YAY!!! Really struggling now. Still working full time but yesterday the nesting thing kicked in. I cleaned out my sons cupboard completely, cleaned out his drawers and took out everything that no longer fits. I went a got the beginnings of the new baby stuff - some really cute little outfits - and made a space for all of her things. I cleaned the change table out. I have to wash all the bunny rugs and all the little bassinet sheets but after doing all of the stuff yesterday I was knackered! Still I slept reasonable well - considering the size of the belly. I am getting a little nervous because people ask me how much longer I have to go and when I say 9 weeks - the reaction I get without fails is "Wow - big baby!". It is a pretty impressive bump I gotta say. I go for checkup this week so I will find out if she is excessively large-hopefully not! Anyway thats my update - oh and we have decided on a name for this little chick when she hatches - Gemma. We have a Joshie and a Jade so we are kinda keeping with the flow but with a G instead. Happy Easter to you all - hope the easter bunny brings you loads of chocys.
