Exactly THREE (3) Mths till JB Expected Due Date!!

Heya All,

Just a quick note that in 3 mths JB is due . . . WOW hard to believe.
Baby shower planning is underway and the invites should be going out soon . . the save the date cards went out about 1mth ago just so I could get people to at least be available on that date!!

Some people on my June 2009 Birth Club forum board are already having their babies . . . that’s a bit scary that we are already coming up to that.

I have a busy weekend coming up with a few social gatherings . . .which of course means I have to go and get at least a few new tops so that I don’t look TOO bad

My Ma and Pa are coming to stay with me for a mth while they wait for settlement on their new house which means I am having to get the stuff out of the room which would have been the nursery cause it will now be their room :-) I don’t mind at all as I didn’t have anything really set up it was more just a storage room for everything JB . .
It will be nice to get to spend some time with them and get to do somethings like going to the movies and shopping and just general things that I don’t get to do too often with them as they live 3hrs away and in a country town.

Last night was the last session of a parenting course that I had been doing with JL through a church. We really enjoyed it though it did run a little late into the evening for our liking especially as JL has another 40min drive after we get home to my house! The course though made us think about how we want to raise OUR children and what’s important for us to teach them ect . .

I have got another parenting course (more alternative and different from the church one) that I want to do run by a friend of a friend but that one isn’t running again till later in the year . . .in the mean time my birthing classes start later next mth so that will keep me busy.

Choir tonight but first will be a quick run by the shops to see if I can find a new top or two . . .fingers crossed for me!!

Love Cara

25 . . . nearly 26weeks tomorrow!!

I can’t believe how quickly my pregnancy seems to be flying by . . I know I know it’s the end that goes slow but I can remember telling TP I was pregnant way back at like 7 weeks along.

I had my second appointment at the Hospital Clinic on the Monday just past and it went well. The Dr was friendlier this time and I didn’t have to wait to see a midwife or student Dr’s this time . . which meant I had time to grab some morning tea with a friend before going to work :-))

My IRON is low which I was expecting to happen seeing as my body seems to not be able to retain iron at all . . . at this stage they are not doing anything about it as I am unable to take any form of Iron supliments orally, so I guess I will have to see if they can do Iron infusions in the last trimester of pregnancy.

YES that’s right I am only a few weeks away from being the 3rd and last trimester Woohooo!!!

My tummy is getting bigger and yes I know I know I should post a belly pic but to be honest I haven’t really taken any and its only been in the past week or so that there is really something showing . . . .maybe in the next few weeks, but sorry no promises.

Life has been pretty busy with work, a parenting course Wed nights and Choir Thursday nights . . . and various social things on the weekends. I do however of course take time out to just chill at home on my own and catch up on my many numerous shows :-))

Tomorrow afternoon with the help of GC I am going to pick up my first lay-by which is a stroller, a car seat, a high chair, and a few other little things . . . I am not sure I can fit is all in my car cause the boxes are pretty big which is why GC is coming along in her car to help me out. TP has volunteered to put things together cause manual labour and putting things together is NOT a strong point of mine THOUGH having said that I CAN do it if I need too . . .

I have to say just how LUCKY I am to be surrounded by such supportive people my family and friends are just being amazing and I know that JB is going to be surrounded by an amazing group of supportive encouraging people!!

THANK YOU TO ALL

Love Cara :-)
