So the blog has been neglected somewhat, but the baby kicks are always at the forefront of my mind - in fact the last thing I think about at night and the very first in the morning (probably because that's when you're most active).
39 weeks, and 1 day now. You're definitely running out of room in there... no more somersaults or lurching turns that stop me in my tracks, but squirms (lots of those) and jabs (particularly under my right rib!) and the hiccups almost every day. We had another scan on Friday, to check your rate of growth... 7 pound 2 ... and the radiologist showed me how you were practicing breathing. I saw your mouth move and your little tummy rise and fall - incredible. Apparently that means you're quite content. I'm glad, and not surprised - I've had two weeks of not working, and feeling a lot more rested and relaxed, and hopefully mentally prepared!
Your Daddy and I had the nicest day today (thought we'd get some 'couple' time in) - a big sleep-in, and then drive to Kumeu, lunch at Bees Online, and then out to Piha where we sat on the beach with an ice cream and watched a wedding. Of course to top the day off we stopped off at Bunnings on the way home - Daddy promises to take you shopping there. I bet you'd already think he's the best Dad ever.
It would be perfect if you decided to come tonight. If you were born tomorrow it would be 10/10/2010. Or you could wait for the 12th - 5 years Daddy and I have been together, or perhaps 15th - your Nana's birthday. Just don't wait too long!
