I haven’t been blogging as much as usual recently so wanted to give you another little update on what I have been up to and how I am feeling.
At 38 weeks+5 I am now in to the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I am finding it a bit of a struggle with Husband away to be honest. I have no energy and am shattered permanently. I am finding the constant demands of a toddler and a preschooler who finished early to move so tiring, it is non stop.
The girls aren’t really naughty but they constantly want to be doing new activities. So for example they want to play with the play dough, I get it all out and ten minutes later they are bored and wanting to draw or paint, ten minutes later the same thing. It is one thing after another , I am constantly tidying up after them and I don’t really get to rest.
The noise level grates on me too. I just want some peace and quiet and would love to crawl back under the duvet most days but can’t. They are loud and always wanting something. This is all I hear all day:
“Mummy… I need a wee wee”
“Pooh please Mummy”
“I want play dough”
” I want drawing”
“Mummy I want to go out”
“Mummy I want to come in”
“Mummy can we have something to eat please”
“Mummy we need a drink”
“Mummy, Mummy, Mummy”
and me?…… well I just want to scream “aaaaaaahhhhhhh” and of course hide somewhere away from them all.
Now I have read that back, I do sound very tired and grumpy!! I think I am just really ready to have my Husband back home (yeehhh he is back today) and to get this baby out so we can get on with our lives. This weekend I am going to be doing everything I can to help encourage her.
I have already been bouncing on my birthing ball most nights, drinking raspberry leaf tea, drinking pineapple juice (fresh not from concentrate) and walking lots. Will try some of the others when husband gets back.
I have seen the midwife and got all the information on the birthing unit here which looks and sounds gorgeous, my bag is packed and I am ready!
Watch this space and fingers crossed she gets here soon.
