34week appointment.

My hospital appointment went great yesterday. Everything is perfect like always. 
He’s heart rate was 140 & he’s head is down low but not yet engaged. I’m starting to get really nervous. He is full term in three week & can officially come at anytime!

Dillon and I discussed about my labour while we were at the hospital waiting for the midwifes. We decided (if we can) that when I’m pushing bub out that i sit between his legs on the bed. When I’m sick or in pain I like being close to him or my mum. So I’m hoping I can have him sit behind me. Thinking about makes me excited. Also he will be right there when they put our little man on my chest. 

Also I must write my birth plan this week!   

Baby Shower.

Sunday the 26th was our baby shower for a little man. Dillon and I are so blessed to have such amazing friends and family. My mum and her best friend put together all the food, which of course was amazing. I got my baby shower cake made & it was exactly want I wanted. 

we played four games:
guess the baby animal.
guess mummy’s tummy.
old wives tales.
baby bingo.
My favourite games was guess the baby animal. It was funny watching everyone try and figure them out. 
My mother inlaws & sister inlaw won that game!

I had a great time seeing all my friends that i hadn’t seen in ages! 
Just wish i got more photos!  

Me cutting my cake! 

33weeks.

7weeks till my due date! 

Things I’m Noticing: 

  • Feet swell after I’ve been on them for to long. 
  • Walking get harder everyday but I must power through it & keep walking.
  • Get bigger by the day as well. I feel like my belly grows over night.
  • Dillon becoming more interactive with my belly. 
  • Starting to nest, usually I wont do all the dishes. Either Id was them but not dry but i’m doing them all. Also washing is driving me crazy. I can’t believe two people can have so many clothes! 


Baby shower this Sunday. I can’t wait to see everyone who is coming especially the friends I never see who are putting in to much effort to come! I feel extremely blessed to have such beautiful people in my life.

Amazing.

The fact that you can love someone so much who you haven’t even met is incredible. In 8weeks (give or take) I’ll be holding this tiny little baby who has been kicking me for the last nine months. He already loves music like his father. Especially when I play him Ice Cube or Jains Joplin. He kicks like crazy when he hears their songs playing. Wonder what else he is going to like?

Active.

Laying in bed reading about delayed cord clamping/cutting which I want to write about tomorrow night. Anyway I just had to share how active my little man is tonight. Usually he is active all day & stops at night. I had the funniest kick before. It was as if he was chucking a tantrum and kicking his legs in the air. Craziest kicks I’ve ever felt.
It truly is the most amazing experience growing this tiny little human. I wish Dillon wasn’t so freaked out by him kicking so he could feel it more. He always says to me that it reminds him of the movie alien and after he kicks he is going to burst out my belly & skid across the room.

The count down begins.

Finally I thought when my bump turned 30weeks! The count down began to my due date!

My love bump at 32weeks!

My last appointment was on the 7th of Feb. Bubba’s godmother came with me because Dillon was stuck at work. Everything was perfect as usually but my belly was measuring 3weeks ahead. My midwife said that was okay because he is only growing a cm per week but he is going to be a big bub.

Remembering such an amazing pregnancy.

Saturday we had a maternity photo shoot. When we pulled up to the house I said to Dillon should we just go. I was so nervous. But when i got in their and starting talking my amazing photography/ I felt so comfortable. Now Dillon is not the kind of guy who shows much emotion let alone getting in photos where he is posing, kissing my belly & kissing me. I was so thankful he just did what I asked. I really could not ask for a better partner and baby daddy. I think every pregnant lady should try and get a photo shoot done. It made me feel so amazing & now we having these amazing photos so we can remember the most amazing experience in the world.

Here is a preview of whats coming.
