*Drumroll*

Aaaaaand we're hitched!! Have been for a week now lol. Everything went swimmingly, even though it ended up NOT being a picnic. We were at our backup location (the bar) and everything went great!! The food was lovely, the ceremony went well and we have heaps of photos of it all!
Only a couple of downsides which were people getting a little too friendly with the alcohol but meh, it went pretty damn well otherwise!


Babies have started arriving in my due date thread on a certain forum I frequent and I am SO jealous!!  I want to hold my precious little darling in my arms too!!!  5 weeks left and then I can!
It really doesn't help when my mum keeps hinting that she would like me to pop sometime soon as well!!  Grr!!! Baby will come when he's damn well ready to come! Just kind of sucks that I'm almost as impatient as she is!

So The Man Thing and I have been getting into the cleaning up of the house and I have to say I think I've been nibbled by the nesting bug. Wanting to do laundry at 2:30am??  I'd call that nesting!!

Babys room is now lovely and tidy and I just need to get in there with the sucky-moto (vacuum cleaner) and make sure it's not too dusty or musty.

I also have about a weeks worth of laundry to wash, dry and fold. Pity we don't have a clothes dryer lol.
So at the moment I'm busy busy busy, though I spend a lot of my time sitting on my bum. Hmm...

Oh mum says I've started waddling now. Thanks mum! *eye roll*
Last time I saw my Midwife she DID say that bubba boy was on the brink of engaging so I have a feeling he's made a little bit of progress since then.

I next see my OB on the 28th and she's going to have a look up me to see if she can see any more stitching and remove it if she can. Woohoo, unlocking the door for bubba to make his entrance!

Better get back to the laundry! Have lots to doooooo!!!!

Yet again, I suck, and also the latest

I seriously don't do so well with keeping this updated now do I?

*sigh* Ah well.

So, what's been going on lately is...

Wedding plans are sorted and finalised and the wedding is on SUNDAY!! (the 13th)
So that's one excuse that I have lol. I've been too busy trying to get everything sorted out for that!

Had an appointment with the Physio to see what's wrong with my back. She thinks it's just muscular from things getting strained with my pregnancy and so on. Makes sense to me. Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt though!! I have a Smiley Belt to help balance me out and redistribute the weight more evenly so I don't end up with so much pain. It helps, I think lol.

A few days before my Physio appointment I managed to arse over at the beach and landed flat on my bum. Took a few days for it to start hurting but believe me, my back was punishing me!! I couldn't even take a short trip in the car without whimpering in pain!
Good thing is that has now sorted itself out and I'm just back to the comparatively mild ache from the stressed muscles.
Goodness is it nice to get The Man Thing to give me a massage before bed lol. Must see if I can get him to do that more often!!

Had an appointment with the OB and another scan to check my cervix. Cervix is doing well, still holding up to the pressure. Also had a growth scan and Mr Squigglebum is growing perfectly to dates which is awesome!
OB doesn't need me to have anymore scans unless something goes amiss and she doesn't need to see me until the end of the month, when she'll take a little looksee and see if there's any stitching left up there. If there is then she will try to remove what she can, if not well it's not something we will have to really worry about anymore!

I'm starting to get massively annoyed with these darn Braxton Hicks that I keep getting. Last night is the second night that they've managed to keep me awake for more than an hour!
Bloody things kept coming 3 minutes apart too so I barely got a break!
I only know they weren't real contractions because they started off at 3 min apart and gave me barely a niggle, and I think that was more from my achy hip than anything else!

Now because the wedding is on SUNDAY!! (OMG!!) we're having to give the house a massive spring clean! Luckily my mum came and gave us a hand picking things up and weeding because up until a couple of days ago I couldn't bend over without massive pain. Still have a few things to do like the kitchen and bathroom but then we're pretty much done!
Only reason we're cleaning so thoroughly is because I'm expecting an influx of The Man Things family after the picnic at the park and I don't want the house looking like a bomb hit it lol.

I have 2 new Med Students following my pregnancy. I've met one of them and she's lovely, though a little skittish. I'm going to invite them around for dinner (goodness what will I cook!!) so we can have a relaxed meet and greet and so they can learn everything they need to know about me in a nice relaxed environment!

Right now, I think that's the latest. Hopefully I remember to update a little more frequently!!
