28+3 - Poor Aeris

Poor Aeris. She only wanted a quick stroke and she ended up in the Baba Sling. However I choose to believe that she had a wonderful time, and enjoyed our little cuddle! Much comfier than I imagined, although I have no idea how much she weighs?

Thursday's midwife visit was pretty uneventful, if a little painful! Had my anti-D injection, and gave some blood for various things. Got to listen to baby again, and had my bump measured. It was 28.5cm / 29cm - a huuuuge jump from 25cm 3 weeks ago. I've grown a bit more than I should have but she didn't seem concerned, and said it was probably a growth spurt or something. That, or I've been on the pies again. Booked in for another appointment at 31 weeks.

The most exciting thing that happened was being able to book onto antenatal classes. These start on the 2nd February, and I'm really looking forward to them actually! Got quite a few to go to, and it works out pretty much one a week for a while, with most being daytime and 1 evening. This unfortunately means I'll have to go on my own, but should mean I get to meet and chat to some other ladies :)

Went shopping to Nottingham yesterday, and bought... Cillit Bang. I'm getting old and boring right?! Looked at a few baby clothes but will probably end up waiting right till the end and just buy anything we need. Saw a gorgeous changing bag which ended up being £250. Perfectly reasonable right?

Nothing else happening - feel a little stuck in the middle at the moment. I'm sure I'm going to regret wishing time away, but everything seems amillion years away! 8 weeks left at work...

Also, feel free to ask me questions on here, or on FormSpring!

20+6 - Catface!

Slightly off topic, but here's a photo of one off my other babies! This is Aeris Boo, and this was taken on Saturday when we only had a few inches off snow. Now we have about... 18 inches? I've never seen anything like this!

16+5

Not really a lot to update on from these past few days! Mitch has been away, so been distracting myself and keeping busy, fortunately it's gone very quickly and he comes home tomorrow :). I've been going to bed at about 9 though, which has been lovely to do without feeling guilty. I read a friends blog the other day where she posed a good question - am I going to bed because I'm tired / pregnant? Or just using that as an excuse?

Midwife on Thursday, then 3 weeks till the scan! Fingers crossed they can find out the sex. If they can't I will literally sob - I'm done waiting now! I have absolutely no idea how people make it 40 weeks. I must start a boy / girl poll on here to get opinions... My cousin is now having a little girl (congratulations!!) so apparently that means I'm having a boy? I don't really think probability works like that somehow!

Held my friends beautiful little girl today, she was angelic! 6 weeks old and she just slept in my arms the entire time - if only it was going to be that easy the entire time!

Also had a few more ideas with names. One keeps getting stuck in my head that I kind of wrote off weeks ago, and I keep dreaming about it. The more I say it the better it sounds I think, but I suppose I have a while to change my mind! Still no boys names.

Going to try and post more pictures, as I always take tons and do nothing with them! So, first up is my first baby Lola! My pride and joy, even if she is mental. I'll post a photo of Aeris soon, but she generally just sleeps a lot and kills mice.

Hope everything's okay with everyone else, this probably sounds super dull but just want to remember everything :)

With love and light xo
