Word of the year 2014

I Know, I know its late but better late than never. Trying to get back into a routine with a little one in the mix presents a unique set of challenges and blogging was an extra one that could afford to take a back seat to little smiles and giggles :)

Following on from last years Theme its time to pick a new word for the year. There is one that specifically keeps running round and round in my head

This year is only 13 days old and has already called for some major moments for Bravery. I have a feeling its going to continue and I am choosing to take on the challenges.

Baby Update: 34 weeks

These posts seem to be happening later and later every week. Apologies! I'm slowing down considerably and have had a fairly full weekend

How Far Along: 35w 2 day

Size of Baby: Baby should weigh about 2.3 kg and be about 43cm long

Although I'm still convinced she is bigger than this...

Picture of Baby:

Baby Sprinkle is comparable in size to a canteloupe

the Melon comparisons seem appropriate  at this stage :)

Belly:

Sorry for the bad cellphone shot!! and yes those are my pj's

Sleep:meh, if it happens it happens :)

 

Best Moment of the Week: getting the nursery bookshelf painted! Thanks for your help Annelise! (pics to follow :) )

 

Movement: Slowing down now... its nerve-wracking cos I'm paranoid but apparently a good sign. She's head down but still not quite ready to make an appearence.

Symptoms: I'm HUGE and pretty much still in pain, Just aches all over the place :) I'll take it though , the end is in sight!

Food Cravings: this weekend ,Cake ...

What I Miss: my feet :)

What I'm Looking Forward to: Finishing the painting of furniture and being able to finally see it all come together :)

Baby Update: Week 31-32

First off Apologies for no post last week. Honestly on Friday I had no energy to try and come up with a post so I left it thinking I'd catch up somewhere during the week and surprise surprise that didn't happen.

How Far Along: 32w 6 days , 50 days to go :) (eek!!!)

Size of Baby: Baby Should weigh about 1.9 kg and be about 40.5cm long

Seeing as she weighed 1.8kg two weeks ago I'm willing to bet she's already gone over 2kg's and believe me I'm feeling it!

Picture of Baby:

The internet cannot agree on a suitable comparison for this week :)

Belly:

Sleep:Last night was the best sleep I've had in almost two weeks (the night before was very rough and I was not a happy camper yesterday)

Best Moment of the Week: the conversation of two little boys where I work regarding the Baby in my Belly (from Facebook):

"So three little boys at work today were trying to hug me and hold my hand  ...the one turns to the other one and says did u know she's got a baby in her tummy... His friend looked at him sceptically so he says its true even though she looks like she ate to much"

Movement: Slowing down now... but if I concentrate I can feel her wiggle

Symptoms: Constant Back pain... the re-appearance of 1st trimester nausea :(

Food Cravings: Still just very Hungry...

What I Miss: to sound like a stuck record, ease of movement... I'm really slowing down and I'm annoying myself ;)

What I'm Looking Forward to: the weekend!!!
