Well thought it was all gonna happen yesterday!! Woke up at 2.30am with pains in my belly and had a little smile to myself - my little bubba was finally going to make her entrance into this world. Tried to go back to sleep but it was either excitement or the pains that were keeping me awake. So got up and had a warm drink and read my book for  while. Must have dozed off coz at about 7am I woke up with a huge contraction - took my breath away!. Went and woke hubby up and told him we were having a baby today then...NOTHING!! Things kept happening throughout the day - was having fairly regular contractions until around 1pm then over the course of the afternoon it just stopped. We went on a walk around the block for half an hour later in the afternoon but by evening everything had just stopped. Its so frustrating! Im 39 weeks and 2 days so surely it has got to happen soon! My midwife says not to stress and that this baby will come when she's good and ready. It surely is an exercise in patience thats for sure!

I am beginning to feel like Im going to be pregnant forever. It is now 39 weeks today and I want it done BIG TIME!! Went to see my midwife last Tuesday and she said if I got to my due date of 2nd June she would be most suprised. Today would not be a good day to have a birth tho - Im much too busy. I have to take my daughter to an Australia's Biggest morning tea for guides. I have to finish the laundry and get the fruit and vege. Then this afternoon my sweetie daughter has a performance for dancing for 3 hours. Still if this little baby decided to come today I will be the happiest mother out I think. Oh my midwife also asked me if I realised that this isnt a small baby - I guess another whopper is on the agenda. Ah well such is life.

I cant believe a month has gone by since my last blog!! Well it has certainly been an action packed month thats for sure. Firstly I have done my back in at work so I have had to finish up 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I am now at home until October and I am so bored its not funny! I wasnt expecting to be here for another 2 weeks. I have spent the week doing all the things I had planned for later plus running backwards and forwards to the hospital. I had a physio appt earlier in the week and she basically said take it easy or spend the last month of pregnancy in a wheelchair. The Friday prior to this my midwife also told me that bubba was in breech with 1 leg tucked up near her head and the other in my pelvis...HOW UNCOMFORTABLE!! Anyway we booked a scan and an appt with the ECV specialist for Tuesday and Wednesday. I spent the weekend reading up on ECV and cesears  - it pays to be prepared. By the time I got to my scan on Tuesday lovely bubs had turned again head down although facing out but that is at least do-able. So I am back in the birth centre. Being that this is my last baby I really wanted to have another natural birth. Having the scare of having to have a cesear really made me want the natural birth more so here's hoping it all works out. The next 3 weeks will be spent relaxing as much as possible I guess. I have got lots to read and sleeping when I can...not sleeping a lot tho and waking at really weird hours of the night. Ah well its all training for when my little missy enters the world. Hopefully sooner rather than later...I can't wait to meet her. Well I'm off to do the dishes then out for a bit of shopping - only groceries tho, nothing exciting.
