Today is Labour Day...well, not for me!

Well, Today is my due date...it's currently 3 in the morning...so I guess he still has plenty of time to arrive...but I don't think it's going to happen. So is tomorrow -1 days? I'm ready for him to arrive...more than ready!

The past month has gone by soooooo quickly! I thought it would drag by and take forever...and now that my due date is here I feel a bit let down...I still don't have a baby in my arms! I do feel like I've been pregnant forever and I'm more than ready to go through my 'day of pain' so I can have a lifetime of heartache!

I'm hoping he'll arrive before the week is out and definitely before being over due 10-12 days...I'm not overly interested in being induced...I'd rather things happen naturally!

Well that's it...just me moaning about not being in labour on labour day! But I did figure I should document this day!

Dog Days of Summer

So I could blog about being due in 4 days...but nothing has changed...I'm ready for this baby to arrive!

So considering that baby thoughts pretty much consume all my time...I was a bit strapped for something to write about...but my darling hubby has sorted that out for me! He's a star!

If you've been keeping up...we've recently moved. Now we've always had a bit of an issue with Moose (our Dog) digging a bit in the garden...usually he digs a bit and eats whatever he has found (possibly cat or fox poo!) But he's never dug a big hole...until we've moved here.

At the back of the garden is a flower bed with some bamboo growing in it. The Soil is lovely and soft, not like the rest of the garden...and he's taken to digging a great big hole in the soft soil! I don't really care but he does make a mess and every time we cover it over he just goes and digs at it again. I would like to plant some flowers there at some point but I don't want to waste my time if he's just going to dig them up before they've grown.

So Smiley looked up "How to stop your dog digging" and in Yahoo Answers the resolution was "Take away his spade!".

This of course does not solve our problem as Moose doesn't use a shovel! But I had a good laugh when Smiley told me the resolution he had found...Some people are so funny!

17 days to go...

Ok, so honestly, I wouldn't be blogging but Yvonne has this very scary blog list that says the last time someone posted...and my last post was 5 weeks ago...and I'm curious to see what it says after I post (I want to be at the top of the list!)

So yeah...17 days...can you believe it! I surely can't! 2 weeks ago I was attending my cousins wedding, which feels like yesterday. So I'm a bit overwhelmed that the next 2 weeks will probably fly by as well!

Last week at my midwife appointment I was informed that the baby's head was down (has been for 8 weeks or so now) and engaged. Ok, so this doesn't actually mean anything...except for the next step in the whole process is labour!

Last night we went for our tour of the hospital...I guess it made it that much more real...at any moment I could start having contractions and need to go into the hospital and be in that room that I was shown last night.

But seriously...it doesn't feel real yet. Does anyone every feel ready for their baby to be born? The whole fact that I have no clue when this baby is going to arrive must be some sick joke from God. I'm this terrible control freak who likes to plan nearly everything but this isn't something I can plan. So is God sitting up there laughing at me or is this just one of life's lessons to teach me that not everything can be in my control!

I had a scan at 36 weeks because there was a minor complication at 2o weeks but it's all good and has resolved itself...but because the baby was so big his features were so clear. I got a little weepy when she showed us his face, he was looking straight at us and it was almost like looking at a black and white picture of my baby. I've told Smiley that we'll need loads of tissues as I'm sure to cry a lot when the baby actually arrives (not to mention the crying before the baby arrives!).

So I'm getting quite large now, as one does when they are 37 +4 days pregnant...but I guess I never realised how big you actually get. I've been wearing Smiley's t-shirts for a couple of months now...but even they are getting to the point that they're just a smidgen too short now! Oh well!

All in all...I'm so very excited for this baby to arrive, overwhelmed, yes, scared, yes, but I'm sure it'll all be ok in the end!
