The End of Half Term

We have just had a lovely week off work together but Stephen is back to the grindstone tomorrow. We have tried to make the most of relaxing to the max before the baby arrives and we lose the luxury of a child-free week to do with as we wish.

Stephen has ripped up all the carpet in the bathroom and made a start on laying down the tiles. He has all the hard ones left... around the corners, toilet and sink! The bathroom looks a bit like a bomb has hit it but it has been promised to me that it will be finished before baby arrives so I can take hope in that! The floor looks so nice though that it casts the kitchen floor in a really bad light and I can't wait until that is done too... And it would be nice to get rid of the carpet downstairs to lay laminate if the floor boards aren't nice enough... And it would be nice if the walls were painted fresh, and the railing painted and the base boards painted, and the... Stephen?

We are both looking forward to the 'nesting' bit you apparently go through just before you give birth!

Welcome to our House!

Have had a bit of time to play on the internet now its the half term break! Have managed to create a short video for all of you that have not seen our house yet.

Am sitting here feeling very pleased with myself!

Stephen

A Lady of Leisure... for the time being!

This is a picture of me on my last day of work. I am now a lady of leisure for the next few weeks until the baby arrives. I will get Stephen to take a picture of me next lying on the sofa eating bonbons!

I think however, that I will most likely be spending the time doing a thorough spring clean as who knows when it will get done next?!

4 weeks until baby is due!

One week left of work

Well here it is Sunday night again and another weekend has sped by... There is a light at the end of this particular tunnel though as this is the last week of work before half term. And as I am officially on maternity leave after half term, this is my last week of work until July! I am very happy for that and it can't come soon enough as far as I am concerned as I am so tired these days and was just about to fall over at the end of last week! I may have to go in a few days over half term just to wrap things up, but that will be much more relaxed and I will be able to come and go as I please.

I am very aware that we haven't taken any good pictures for awhile of us and the bump so I will do my best to persuade the photographer to take some good ones tomorrow when we are on our way to work.

I had a midwife appointment Friday afternoon. Everything is fine and my bump measured 34 weeks big which is right on track as I was 34 weeks. I will be 35 weeks tomorrow and can hardly believe that we will be parents in about a month. In some ways the time seems to have sped by, but much of it felt like it was crawling as we experienced it!

I should get going, but I will endeavour to get some new pictures on here asap.
