Brakes are for wusses!

At 4 pm my partner and I turned in our exam project. PHEW! And at 6 I had regular contractions. I still do but so far they are not increasing in strength so we’ll have to wait and see if it develops or not. It would be awesome to give birth Friday the 13th though!

I’m a busy bee!

We just bought new sneakers for the girls and I can’t wait ’till Baby comes out so I can put these on her tiny feet! They are size 3 months so she’ll be ready to hit the summer with style.

Kev and I are stressed out atm. We are both having final exams, projects and so on and Baby is due in the middle of all the deadlines so we’re trying to finish up as much as we can before she arrives in maximum 47 days. 47 days!! Meanwhile I’m trying to get all of the baby stuff in order so I’ve spent the weekend washing and unpacking and re-packing but boy, do you forget how much work it is preparing just the basic necessities for a baby! I’ve pulled everything apart, washed it and I’m still in the process of putting it back together. Luckily I’m done with all her clothes and bedding. We still need to get her a cradle (we’re going with the beautiful Leander Cradle) and probably a new changing table since ours decided to spit out one of the drawers.

We payed my midwife a visit today and she was happy with everything. I’m 35 weeks pregnant and Baby is approximately 5.7 lbs (2600 g) so she’s “normal” and not huge like Willow Ava was. Baby was banging happily around in my belly while my midwife was trying to get the measurements. My belly has dropped quite a bit and I’ve had a lot of Braxton Hicks as well as more of the painful contractions that I’ve been dealing with since mid December, so my midwife told me that Baby has to stay put for 5 days and then she’ll be okay to come out. It would of course be best for all of us if she waited until the due date so we can prepare as much as possible and it wouldn’t hurt her to gain some more weight but if she arrives in 5 days then she is more than welcome. We have an amazing journey ahead of us!

“Please shut up so I can hear myself walk out of the room.”

Kev and I are watching a documentary on Greece’s financial catastrophe and I’m like “WTF.”, “WHAT-THE-FUCK!??” as this shit just keeps getting better.
Kev stands up, shushes me so he can hear the program as he proceeds to walk straight out of the room.
I may shout at the TV but who’s the old fart now.?
