Daisy

Very quick update, Daisy Kathryn Grace Dewar born 25 May 2009 at 1.22am. Weighing in at 4.86kgs (10lb 11oz) and 61cm tall.
Everyone doing well, we are besotted with our gorgeous girl.

39 weeks

Ive deliberately left the lights low so you can't see the rash and stretchies and veins all over my tummy!

38+ Weeks.

I've been chopping and changing which due date I go by, but with either one I am now well and truly full term. This baby could come anytime from now on. (In theory. I woke up with a nasty feeling she's going to be REALLY late)
I'm feeling very tired and heavy, baby is now 4/5 engaged and boy can I tell! up to pee every night a minimum of 4 times, and lots of pressure whenever I stand up. She's in a good position which I'm really happy about.
A friend from antenatal class who was due on the same day as me has just had her baby! We were all convinced she'd be overdue and I'd be early, but looks like it could be the other way round.
I have been reduced to wearing track or yoga pants, and NONE of my tops fit, not even the big maternity ones. I want to buy some Mens XXL clothes but can't be bothered going shopping.
Here's the photo, Its not very good. I think I had just finished trying to pull my top down over my belly.

Easter Weekend etc

Mum and Dad came down, and we went to Akaroa for a day. I managed a bit of walking, and a full 18 holes of Mini Golf. Unfortunately this meant for the next few days my back was aching. A trip to the osteopath, combined with bubba dropping down to 2/5 engaged has meant that my back has been a whole lot better recently - Thank goodness!
We've got the birth box all ready to go (well, boxe's plural - couldn't fit it all into one), with all the bits and pieces needed for our homebirth. I've split the stuff into 2 boxes, one for during labour, and one for after bubs comes. I figure if we need to transfer to the hospital we can just chuck the 2nd box in the car, to save the hassle of packing a hospital bag.
Getting really excited about everything thats going to happen in the next month or so!




The walk to Onawe Pa on Banks Peninsula. Awesome coloured rocks!
