34 week bumpy

The great escape

So! We've had our 34 week scan and the miracle of the womb has happened! Tilly is head down and the exit is clear and don't I know it!!!!
I've been up all week with horrendous waves of back pain, cramps, tightenings and everything else that hurts! Starting to think that Tilly may want an early exit (no baby no!) I'm knackered and feel like crap!

We found out at the scan that she has freakishly long legs so I might have to take scissors to the hospital to cut the feet off her babygros... Froggy baby :)

I have my family baby shower on Wednesday and the friends one on Saturday so would appreciate it if squidgers stayed put till then!

I wandered lonely as a cloud

A really common thing I've heard on my 'due in october' group is how lonely being pregnant is. I can personally vouch for that! It feels a lot like the second that second line pops up on that test, 90% of your friends have absolutely no interest in you or time for you.
 The worst type of 'friend' is the one that pays you absolutely no attention whilst you're boring and pregnant but "can't wait" to meet your baby... two words to that one... PISS OFF!

 At first I was really hurt by how shite some of my 'friends' have been but now I see it as the perfect way to cut down the wedding guest list and have a good clear out of friends. I no longer see the long and lonely weekend sat in entirely on my own (James works seven days a week) as a bad thing... I tend to potter around the house, organise Tilly's nursery and play with my beloved kitten Fishcake.
 I'm really looking forward to sending out the wedding invites to my real friends and hope they know how much I appreciate them. Quite a few of my friends either live miles away or are stupidly busy but still take the time to check in us and keep me from singing 'all by myself' by Celine Dion in my pjs to my cats... It's going to be lovely to be surrounded by people that I genuinely love and that genuinely love us back at the wedding! No wasting money on twat bags that I should've bopped on the noggin months/years ago.

Plus, my life long best friend is growing (awkwardly) in my tummy... so that's always a plus :)

Awkward baby

Hello! I am now 32weeks! Found out on Tuesday that a certain young lady is breech! So with that and waiting to see if my placenta has shifted we are looking at a c section. As having Both is a risk if I were to go into labour naturally I'll probably be having miss Tilly two or three weeks early! Naughty little chickpea!

Thankfully, the nursery is now finished and all her bits are put away. All she really needs now are more baby towels, a bouncer and a cot mobile! Nothing essential! Oh and probably some "tiny baby" clothes if she's coming early! Little monkey!

I'm not too upset that I may have to have a section, but the not knowing is a bloody nightmare!!!!

Family update - James' driving is going well, fishcake is having his coconuts removed next week and catbag is as growly and naughty as ever!
