Week 38
Unbelievable that I am writing this blog with still no baby! After all the worries about being engaged so early and baby being so small and being bound to come early and we are officially now considered full term! I really am starting to look it now too, although every time I think I’m massive we see someone who is much bigger or people will be in disbelief at how far gone we are.
It was Jon’s sister's 30th birthday this week so we had a hectic sprint down to Plymouth after my active birth class on Monday, and a swift clothes change in Sainsbury’s toilets (very classy) before meeting them for dinner. Just as we arrived at the pub, they were coming out, and I totally felt like an exhibit at the zoo because about 15 people all walked past, analysing my bump, feeling it and commenting on me / bump! It was awful! I’m not the best at having lots of attention, and my sister-in-law was giggling at the back seeing how uncomfortable I was! Anyway, dinner was lovely and it was great to see everyone, probably won't be down for a family dinner again until little madam arrives!
A week of birthdays! I also had one of my best friends from Uni come down for the evening on her birthday, her boyfriend is a fireman and was working nights so I was given the task of entertaining the birthday girl! We had a good catch up and a lovely meal out, then mooched around Exeter the next day before meeting Jon for lunch. She is an auntie of two and had just been to Disneyland with the little ones for a fun weekend, I can’t wait to do kiddie stuff like that without having a conscience!
No new pregnancy complaints this week, just my back is agony at night, and I so desperately want to lie on my back because it’s the only way I can still move when I wake up! But mountains of pillows and careful positioning I must endure for a little bit longer! Oh and I really can’t wait for my first pint of Magners!

I know how you feel because i also worried he was going to be too early and too small then when i hit 38 weeks i was like OK i feel ready lets go..but unfortunately he didnt feel that was the right time to come. I tried everything and kept as active as i could as i hit 40weeks and still no sign. By 41 weeks i was so fed up, tired, hurting and wanting the pregnant part to be ready - i wanted to meet my baby! Then the midwife booked me in for a membrane sweep at 1pm when i would be 41 weeks and 6days pregnant..and guess what? 3AM the morning BEFORE the sweep (20th November 2007) my little boy decides its time! After a long labour (not going to write the details because its quite long) At 1.43pm on 21st Novemeber he made his appearance - i guess they come when their ready!
