Had my appointment with the MW today at 11. She did the checks and then did a membrane sweep!.

Baby is FULLY engaged. Im 1-2 cm dialeted, cervix are soft and everything seems to be ready for our labour. She said cos im fully ready for the labour it was quite easy to do this sweep and not too painfull for me. She could even feel the LOs head!!!! its so low!!!!! Listened to babys heart! Had a bit of a blood after the sweep but the MW said that its quite normal.

The only prob - the baby is a bit back to back but he might still correct the position....

Repacked my hospital bag again. Really hoping that it will start very soon xxx

Well today is our due date ...... still nothing.

13.05 already. People have been ringing and texting since 6am today asking if we have any news. Honestly, if we would have any news we would not sit and wait for all your messages.....we would tell you.....really pissing me off.

Went for an hour walk with mum at 9 ish..... Can feel baby moving inside but dont think he is planning on getting out yet....

Please baby come out

19.40

Still no sign of a baby.....not even slightest one (((. Did not bother going for my walk, fell asleep instead. Did pregnancy yoga with my mum (god that was funny). Had a nice meal, cooked by hubby (with desert!!!). And now just chilling/getting ready for bed.

Maybe he will decide to come on russian easter????....next sunday lol

Well tomorrow is our DUE DATE!!! but no sign of a baby yet((( please please please baby start making your way out already I cant wait any longer.

Very hard to sleep, the cushions dont help any longer, my body constantly aches. I cant go too far on my own (in case the labour will start)....i cant go shopping. Im bored of cooking and tidying up. Im fed up of people ringing me/stopping outside and asking if I had the baby...... I want to have my baby now((((

Уже совсем совсем чуток осталось. Просыпаюсь каждую ночь и проверяю не отошли ли воды ))). Уже 3ий день как в декретном отпуске!!! Сначала фигнёй страдала, а теперь второй день всё мою - чишу - убираюсь, а то дома такая свалка, последний месяц вообше ничего не делала думала в декрете буду - всё перемою....а теперь так лень.....

Низ спины иногда сильно болит, но быстро проходит. В туалет часто бегаю и уже второй день малыш очень мало двигается......Ходить тоже очень тяжело сегодня (толи малой готовится к выходу то ли это от уборки).

Все в ожидании сидят, вот вот уже должны родиться

Два дня ходила ревела - сестрёнка в австралию уехала.....когда теперь её увижу......Хоть мы с ней и в англии то редко виделись а теперь.....От малого всё зависит тоже...как перелёты будет переносить

Just came back from a MW visit. Listened to babys little heart beat. Baby managed to punch the MW while she was listening and checking, made her proper jump lol! she said that never saw any baby doing this before. Well we did warn her that as soon as anybody touches my tummy he starts kicking and punching. Even if it is my hubby.
Anyway she said that the baby is positioned quite low, still head down. I really hope that he will be born around his due date. The weather is so nice! I cant wait to start taking my pram with the baby out and start going for walks and picnics.

Been to a wedding last weekend. I managed to spend half a day in high heels! did not think that i would last so long, had an amazing time.

I cant believe that we are at the end of week 37. Just a few more day and we will meet our precious boy. I look so huge, never thought that I can get SO big. Every time hubby puts his hand on my tummy baby starts kicking and wiggling))) so cute.

Finishing my work next week!!!! Just need to pop to lancashire on monday afternoon. And then just office days (home days) for the rest of the week - to sort out all my emails and finish off all jobs. Cant wait already to have some time for myself, just rest and tidy the house.........even though I have been doing 4 days a week for the last month - still was very tired by the end of the day.

My feet started swelling really badly since wednesday(((

У Тима мама какая то ненормальная. Никого она не любит - ни животных, ни детей, ни людей.....вечно говорит что родилась и выросла на ферме поетому никокой любви к животным не испытывает. Детей тоже не любит так как нанянчилась с младшими братьями в детстве (но так это ведь было 60 лет назад!!!). Вечно всем говорила что не собирается быть grandma...... и тд. Мы всегда игнорировали, думали когда будет ребёночек поменяется.....

В начале беременности как то обрадовалась......пару раз спросила как чувствуем......Скоро рожать уже а она на днях заявила Тиму что у неё нету никокого grandmother instinct...... Что всегда поможет и посидит с малым но никакой ласки типо не ждите!!!! Зачем корчит из себя такую жестокую?? Так не приятно.... могла бы уж промолчать, зачем так надо было Тиму говорит??? Это ведь её 1ый внук будет (старшему сыну уже за 40 а он ешё и не женат и не планирует детей). Её сёстры и то больше рады, у обоих уже по несколько внуков. Одна всё какеи то кофточки вяжет, другая торты печёт, все в ожидании.....хоть бы претворилась что рада.

Сегодня одна Тимкина работница попросила что бы я пузяко показала, в пальто ничего не видно. Тимина мама рядом была. Так отвернулась и такую мину состряпала ну вот хоть бы улыбнулась.... фу

OMG!! 35 weeks already. Our little monkey is 35 weeks. 5 more weeks and hopefully he will decide to come out on time.

Quite uncomfortable to walk now, have a proper waddle lol. Hard to turn in bed as well... Tummy is quite big now. Even my sister and her bf who i did not see for 2 weeks were supprised how much it has grown. Put 10 kg on.

The nursery is all but ready, still need to buy some bedding for the cot-bed but will be buying it after the LO will be here. All clothes, blankets, muslins etc.... have been washed and ironed, stacked in babys wardrobe. Moses basket is ready as well. Car seat bases have been fit in both cars (were planning to put it just in 1 car but when started fitting it realised that got the wrong base. Luckly it did fit into another car (my company car). Then bought another for our own car).
Babys hospital bag is ready, My bag is almost ready, hoping to finish packing it today. Food bag is ready!! So I think we are doing pretty well (thanks to hubby).

Still have 3.5 weeks (14 days) to do at work, managing ok but sometimes feel very achy in the evenings after long drives, good job I dont have to drive very far every day....... On a positive side I will be doing 4 days a week only from now on!!!! and some of twill be having these days will be half days. The very last 2 days they gave me as an office days (which is at home), sort out my emails and finish all unfinished jobs. Both directors (for my department) were really supportive which was really nice and im very greatfull to them.
