It's been a busy week. We've been able to pay off and pick up the pram and car seat, finished our birth education classes and had the baby shower.
Stress is saying it mildly.
I'm still trying to recover from the weekend and baby shower.
I am forever grateful to my mum. Everything she does for me and my growing little family.
There is nothing I can ever do or say to repay her. Pretty much everything we have for this baby and all my maternity needs are taken care of by her. She has never let me go without and she continues that even today. And for that I will never be able to thank her enough.
All the money, time and effort that my mum put in to the baby shower was simply amazing.
We did have a few people not turn up (most I heard from but unfortunately some I didn't) so we were alittle over catered for which I wish we could have known and saved some money there but either way it was so beautifully done!
Again, I can't thank my mum enough for everything she did.
We were also able to pick up the pram and car seat. I have spent the last 7 months working my butt off to work towards having the pram I really wanted and paying off the layby. With the help from the in laws I was able to finalize the layby and pick it all up. I had paid the pram off but still had the car seat left but with the help was able to pick it up alittle bit earlier then I thought, which is a huge weight of my shoulders as there is still so much left to get before our Little Miss gets here.
This week I am hoping to get myself organised and work on packing my hospital bag - everyone says its better to be prepared and have it packed early.
I have been thinking about the birth plan alot more since finishing our birth education classes. Although I can't really feel confident till I have my appointment with the anesthetist at 34 weeks to discuss my options because of my back, I do know that I want to try my absolute hardest to have a natural labor.
Alittle surprise that I did get from my amazing mum today was this gorgeous bassinet - I was blown away!
It's simply gorgeous!
I'm starting to get to the stage we're I can't wait to meet our little girl.
It's all getting very exciting and overwhelming at the same time.
My exhaustion levels seem to be sky rocketing along with my emotional levels as well. Sleep is back to being a big luxury for me. And little sleep means little patience and tolerance in my day-to-day life which them creates crazy hormones. But I'm getting there and handling things as well as I can.
