Bump watch - I'm still standing...

(barely)

41 weeks.  Or 40+7, as I believe we now say.  This baby is quite happy where she is, thank you very much, and despite how much crying that's making me do, she's not keen on making a break for freedom.

At least I can now say that I only have a week left.  Hopefully.  Gah.

(Oh that's my niece, A, btw, sitting neatly atop my bump.  Glad to know it can serve a purpose somehow.)

Bump watch - The End

I'm totally going to regret posting this and referring to it as 'The End', when I'm still pregnant in 2 weeks time.  But I've just spent ages trying to make and embed this slideshow and I've done it now, so appreciate it, m'kay?

I'm going to miss my lovely bump.

Bump watch - 39 weeks

Blimey.  39 weeks eh?  I cannot believe how huge I am.  At this point, I am now officially more pregnant than I have ever been before (Jacob was born at 39+4).  I'm feeling it - I am tired beyond belief and so heavy and painful.  But also very excited, I just can't wait to get on with it.  Come on, baby ;)

Being brave.  I wanted to do a naked, unfettered bump photo at some point, and it looks pretty damn fine here, even if I do say so myself.

Aaaaaand .... publish.

Bump watch - 37 weeks

 Mothercare toilets again.  We made 3 stops here on our recent trip to town, I don't know where we'd be without them!

I took Jacob shopping in town (which I never do, even when not incapacitated by a large stomach-thing, we have a big out-of-town shopping centre near our house where we always go instead) and the walking set off a load of Braxton-Hicks contractions which stopped me from walking any further.  Handily, we were near McDonald's, so stopped for ice cream and a rest.  We got back to the car eventually!

Happy after a scan showed the baby is head down and ready to rock :D

Blimey, I miss one week and this massive belly appears out of nowhere!

New favourite dress - 50p bargain (am I talking too much about dresses?!).

Jacob starts school!  Surely that shouldn't be allowed, he's still my baby...

One of my favourite photos during this pregnancy.  Seriously, I love this dress ;)

My 33rd birthday - a trip to Bristol Zoo :D.  Bump shown here with my sister and niece - these little cousin-girls are totally going to be best friends.

Trying on my new favourite-ever dress.  I didn't take this off for about 3 weeks.

Jacob and bump at Blackpill Lido.  Lying on the grass under the trees while he happily gallivanted on his own was awesome.  This is the true advantage of bigger age gaps ;)

 On the ferry on the way to Ireland for our Summer Holiday.

 Jacob kissing the baby.  Swoon.  Excuse my stupid face.

Totally bumpalicious on the only sunny day of our holiday.

 My two precious kiddiwinks ;)

Still able to do a Double Hammock (just!) in a size 6 wrap - slinging a friend's child at the Zoo.

Yeah, totally rocking this cat dress.  I can't wait until I fit back into this again.
