Away Time and Appointments

Just got back from a little holiday with the man things family. It was only a couple of nights away but it was certainly enough.

I kept getting comments on how big my bump is and how much longer I have to go until I'm due to pop. I feel like a whale and certainly look like one too so I don't mind so much. It's the truth after all lol.

I had a midwife appointment today, just the usual little checkup of my blood pressure and what not. Everything is going swimmingly, my blood pressure is nice and steady and normal, baby's heart rate is wonderful. Bubby boy is stubbornly head up though. I think he takes after both of his parents in that respect. I was a cesarean breech and the man thing was a vaginal breech. Here's hoping that our little bugger decides to buck tradition lol and come head first.

I've gone from having just a few stretchmarks now to having a great big bunch of the buggers. Doesn't overly bother me, they just itch!!

Christmas and Birthdays

Well we don't really do Christmas as such, it's more just a family feast with the odd gift occasionally thrown in. This year my nana is giving us a meat pack (yum yum) and she's also giving the man thing a weed eater (line trimmer) so he can cut our lawn (or the pitiful excuse we have for one anyway lol)

I'll tell all about the food tomorrow but suffice to say YUM!

The man thing has some jewellery to give me (I helped him pick it out so I KNOW I'm going to like it lol) and I was hoping that my mum would have enough money to get me a hair dryer (I've taken over her bank accounts at her request and I know exactly how much money she doesn't have) but that can wait until my birthday.
18 days until my birthday and I'll be entering my second decade. Goodie goodie.

I found my first 3 stretchmarks today. They're not massive but they're definitely there. To be completely honest, I don't give a rats ass about them lol. I knew it was highly likely to happen seeing as I'm pretty prone to stretchmarks and I think the OI has a bit to do with that. The lack of collagen I'd say.

Fingers crossed my stretchmarks don't make it to the tattoo that I have on my right side. I'd hate to see that ruined.
