    39 Weeks Pregnant

    Jul 7, 2014 by Ali · 4 Comments

    Wow I can't believe that this is my last update on this pregnancy. I am due to go in for a scheduled c-section in the next few days. I won't lie, it feels like I have been pregnant forever but now the end is really nigh it seems scary and real - I'm going to have a new little baby!

    This week I have been increasingly uncomfortable. Last night the baby slept in my ribs and I awoke to a crunch as I sat up. I really hope I didn't crunch a little foot in there! My back hurts, I'm having little niggles and I've been in a REALLY bad mood. Cue hormonal crying, a bad temper and being just generally down. I've been ignoring my friends and grotty to the kids.

    I've had my hair cut but lately I've kind of given up on make up! I want to make sure I look as nice as I can in the post birth photos though so I am going to have do get back into the swing of things!

    I'm really looking forward to finding out if this baby is a boy or a girl but not looking forward to other people's reactions so much. I genuinely don't mind a boy or a girl but I know a lot of people want / expect me to have a boy and I think if anyone mentions it again now I might thump them!

    I've found lots of cute clothes for boys and girls and I can't wait to get shopping when the little one is here!

    The girls are both really excited and I can't wait to see their little faces when they meet their new baby brother or sister. The new baby will no doubt completely change the family dynamic but I can't wait for the change and the new direction our family will take.

    Here's this week's tired bump shot!!...

      Such an exciting time! I can totally relate to the feeling of gender expectation. I'm currently getting the "I bet you're hoping for a boy aren't you, so you can have one of each?" comments. Another brand new #BlogBumpClub baby soon to be here - woohoo! x
