Today, I am 30 weeks and 5 days pregnant, there's 65 days till my due date and only 44 days till I'm considered full term (37 weeks). Our final ante natal class (OF SEVEN) is next thursday and its three weeks today till SCAN DAY to find out where my placenta is and make sure Tilly is growing well. If it hasn't moved, I'll be getting a C section, which is usually at 38 weeks, which is in 51 days! Scary stuff!
We've been getting very organised, the nursery is finally painted and the furniture is on order as well as the mattress to put the room together and work out a layout before I put the 'hana' touch on the room! My beloved Laura Ashley curtains will be getting a revival and are at the dry cleaners ready to be put up.
All along I've wanted a tree motif on the wall, I think I've found 'the one' on eBay but I need to do some measuring when we've decided where the cot is going. Then its time to get together some yummy hand made bits, as I don't want the room to look like it popped out of a catalogue! The only concession I've made is ordering a gorgeous lampshade from next with butterflies in the shape of a heart (sounds horrible, but it's not, honest!!) and in honour of my beloved Nana Edna, some lovely card butterflies to watch over Tilly. My nan (Nana's daughter) is convinced that Nana is a butterfly now so it brings me a lot of comfort to think that Nana will be watching over her.
I had another health scare last week at 29+5, I woke up in agony with my tummy, back and kidney, however the pain had subsided by the time I got to the doctors. She didn't seem interested and actually spent most of the appointment on the phone to another patient. I was prescribed yet more anti biotics and my wee was sent off, the results came back negative for infection, which is good news, but worrying doesn't explain the pain. I'll be seeing my midwife on tuesday next week so I will ask her advice then. Word of warning - NEVER google during pregnancy, according to google, I will die. Thanks google!
This weekend was VERY successful, my mum finally met James' mum last week for lunch which went well, then on Saturday we invited my future Father, sister and brother-in-law for dinner at mums and that went really well, I think we're going to have some lovely family times in future. One of my biggest worries (completely unfounded as they are lovely) was that our families wouldn't get on. I'm very glad that they do.
Wedding news - the church is BOOKED, the reception is BOOKED (it will be at the alverbank hotel, which is in the perfect location) and mum & I went to a vintage wedding fayre on Sunday and found the centrepieces, the florist, wedding rings, a christening idea for Tilly (bit generic, but a tree formed off all her loved ones thumbprints to go on her nursery wall, I think its a gorgeous idea) singers for the church (budget allowing)a lady who makes personalised tiaras (cos im a princess) and a few other lovely bits :) I will be a married woman in just over a years time (13/09/13) and I can't bloody wait!
James is currently studying furiously for his theory test next week and taking driving lessons when he can, unfortunately he's working seriously long hours so it's been a serious strain for him and I do feel sorry, but it will all be worth it when he's on the road! Also, he starts college in less than two weeks! Poor sod seriously has his plate full at the moment!!
Ohhh, I forgot to say, Tilly is now hiccuping! Its adorable! I would say shes head down from the sensation, which is always good news. Adorable little bear :) can not wait to meet our tummy baby now! Time will fly I'm sure!
