It is far too hot for my liking. 35 yesterday 34 today 33 tomorrow 41 monday and so on I hate Melbourne summer, especially while pregnant. Eeeekkk waaaaa and sheesh.
I am now 32 weeks and feeling every inch the heifer that I have become. I am waddling mostly due to the SPD I have, sweating especially on my upper lip (noice), grumpy, have huge mammaries and so on. This second journey through pregnancy has turned me off another one pretty thoroughly. I don't feel glowy or maternal just hot and fat. Oh well.
Baby is quite active and was head down at last midwife appointment hope it stays that way and gets out early although as Dylan was born at 41w3d I do not have high hopes for an early eviction.
I am finishing work in two weeks on the 25th of Jan yay so that is something to look forward to and then we are moving so I will be packing labelling sorting and culling. My mum bought a brand new unit and we are going to live in it and pay her a little rent ha. Yay for us. Eventually we will buy our own place but we cannot afford it right now. Although the unit is way out of town it is brand new and has 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 2 living areas laundry air conditioner a pretty fabbo kitchen a garage and a small yard for Dylan, a step up from our very old upstairs run down falling apart hot stinky 2 bedroom 1 bathroom 1 living area shared downstairs laundry shared backyard no garage or carport yucky flat. Hooray. Jimmie is not 100% happy with the location but he is willing to give it a go and the promise of a new car and an uncluttered home has made him a bit more happy and excited. I think I will be happier there too. I will be closer to mum and two of my close girlfriends who both have a daughter close to Dylan's age and one of whom has just had a new bub and one who is due to have new bub 12 weeks after me so we will all be on mat lave together yay. So I am hoping to be able to see both of them more often.
I have been preparing a little for bub's arrival with packing the baby bag and starting my hospital bag. My mum bought us a bassinet and I have booked a capsule. Can't really do a lot else for bubs until we move. I do want to start preparing myself for birth though, I am going to reread Birth Skills and am supposed to practice my deep breathing and relaxation. I am hoping to have a water birth but will just go with the flow on the day and so whatever I feel like doing at the time. As I am having a birth centre birth there are no decisions to be made re pain relief as there is none, I will use the gas if need be and try to be active but hoping that if I get in the bath that will help. Knowing my luck there will be someone else using it when I want to.
Apart from that I am too hot to do anything today so will probably hang on the couch and do not much else. Hoping Jimmie will want to play with Dylan and I can relax how lazy.
