37 weeks = Full Term in Doctor language

So still another 3 weeks left until the due date but they tell me that now i have passed 37 weeks the baby is fully baked and it wouldn't matter if she came at any time - yey.

Not feeling too bad at the moment, i had another skin flare up but this time in the form of cold sores so i have some medication for that. I'm so looking forward to having my immune system back and strong.

We had some maternity photos done to celebrate me having a big belly (hmmm) The photographer we found was excellent and she will do the babies first pictures as well.

Doctors appointments are now every week which is fun as we get to hear the heart beat all the time.

Mum arrives on Saturday and then we are ready.

18 days to go ...........

34 weeks

Well how rubbish am i !! I suppose things are just too plain sailing these days to have anything to write about.

Whats happened in the last 10 weeks - Well, firstly i have grown a big belly, kind of useful now that they estimate the baby is 4 1/2 pounds in weight. So it looks like we will have a 7 - 8 pounder ;)

I had my baby shower which was so much fun. Everyone made it a really special afternoon and we got very spoilt. We are now pretty much ready for her arrival now with all the little things bought. We need to fit the car seat in the car and pack the hospital bag and we are ready.

I've had a few ailments, nothing drastic but frustrating. My left buttock decided to tighten up really badly into a spasm so I've been seeing a therapist to have it massaged and stimulated to loosen it. It seems to have done the trick which i am relieved about. I didn't fancy it slipping into sciatica.

My acid reflux is my main issue. I've had it since the middle of January and have had to manage it with drugs and Tums, I'll be very glad to see the back of it to be honest. Just yesterday i could tell that the acid was creeping up again and affecting my vocal chords. Today i have no voice and the annoying cough again - grrrrrr.

People keep telling me it's all going to go away as soon as she is born, there will be a celebration just for that.

The only other thing we have done is some Maternity photos :-) Rich really loved these (he he he ) We can't wait to see the proofs and i'll post them up in my next post if you are lucky.

39 days to go and counting
