Hey,
This one is a bit late as i was not near a computer last week. Had friends visiting from Australia so lots of shopping and sightseeing!!
Not that much to report again. I feel absolutely fine now with the occasional back ache but if it wasn't for that and the ever growing bump i would just forget that i was pregnant.
Oooh, went shopping and i think i am the luckiest pregnant person in the world, this seasons fashion is so suitable for me!! Its all smock tops and big flowy tops with the seem running under the bust so its great, i think i have only bought 2 maternity tops and the rest are just normal ones. Sadly i had to give in to the maternity trousers... I am wearing a pair now that are just so hidiouse. The waistline certainly would give Simon Cowel a run for his money. Oh well its all about comfort i suppose. I also discovered that New Look now have a maternity department! how cool. Not sure if they do in Guildford but they certainly do in Kingston as i managed to get a cool going out top for my brothers 18th birthday in a couple of weeks. He wants us to go clubbing with him - not sure i really fancy that!
Anyway, its been a very stressfull week which is annoying as i took a week off work! On tuesday phil found out that he may be made redundant (will find out today). After much discussion and worry about it we decided that redundancy would be great as he would get a nice payout which would sort us out while i am on maternity leave. So now we are praying he gets it. If he doesn't he will have to work in Reading which isn't extremely far away but far enough away for him to possibly miss seeing the baby in the evenings before i put him/ her to bed. Fingers crossed on that one then!!
Got given lots more baby stuff this week which is always good. On Wednesday we were given 8 bags of clothes, a bag of toys (bin bags i mean) and two car seats - not bad going at all. Anyone wanting to buy presants then blankets, bedding etc would go down quite well!! My mother-in-law has started a baby box. She got a lovely wicker box and has started filling it with clothes, shoes, teddies etc. Its a really nice thought. My mum has started her knitting!! something tells me this baby will want for nothing and will get spoilt rotten. My mother-in-law also suggested sorting out a baby shower but i wasn't keen on the idea. Its much more of an American tradition and i don't want people to feel they HAVE to buy me stuff.
The nursery is coming along (slowly). Phil and my dad have now smoothed the walls down and layed the laminate flooring. Dad is putting in new skirtings and putting up the lining paper this week. Finding sesame street or elmo borders is proving difficult although i have found one online that we may get shipped over.
Getting extremely anxious now about finding out the gender. I have done lots of tests and dangled the wedding ring over my tummy etc and it all points to a girl but i am staying open minded until the 2nd May.
Thats enough for now. Sorry it was late but i am a very busy person!!!
Oh one last thing, still no recognisable kicks yet. Had a few flutters which could have been kicking but not entirely sure.
See you at the end of the week
