Stretch Marks?
no new ones
Sleep?
not great, having trouble falling asleep
Best moment of the Week:
Going to a second hand sale for baby items and finding a few bargains
Plus my hostfamily in New York(where I worked as an Au Pair from 2004-2006) have offered to pay for our cot/crib as a sort of baby shower present(despite us not having one). I was shocked at their generosity.
Movement:
not as much as previously, I think baby has changed position as I can't see the movement as much from the outside, they do feel further 'in'.
Also she keeps kicking or pressing on what feels like my cervix, which is just the weirdest sensation!

(all this for £15/$25, which includes a brand new Baby Boden dress, 4 pairs of Trumpette socks, a sleep bag and lots of vests/onesies, sadly all in size 3months+)

What I'm looking forward to:
We are going to the baby show next week, it's like a giant Baby Expo/Fair with all sorts of fun exhibitors. Hoping to finally settle on the pushchair/stroller.

What I'm not looking forward to:
Potentially getting bad news from my glucose test, let's hope I haven't also developed gestational diabetes!

I LOVE your Fox Shirt…so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe Baby Show sounds fun, I don't think we have those here! That's really awesome that your host family will buy you the crib, what a sweet and generous gesture!
Good luck on your glucose results!!!
