Wow.  so 4 sleeps.  and then none.  at all.  weird weird weird...  Spent a magic spring day pottering at Piha. 

 Kimmie got creative with the camera.  Peanut's growing - she definitely enters the room first now...

Can't believe this will be the last weekend ever without Peanut.  It's a very strange feeling.  I'm just a touch (!!) excited now. :)

And deep breaths.  Otis got very excited when i told him it was only 5 days till she came out.  And then he practiced being gentle for when the baby arrives.  Bless.  She's going to have the best cousin EVER!

Most ridiculous purchase so far...

... but i couldnt resist!

All together now... 'she wore an insy winsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini...'

Yes, she won't be able to wear it for another year, but HOW CUTE IS THIS!

So...

... this time next week little Peanut will be in my arms - all going well ;)


Now that my friends, is TRIPPY!

This is what Aunty Kylie has christened mini-mess.  Meet Peanut.

Goodbye working Mondays...

... I would say it's been fun, but, to be honest I'd be a big fat liar.  Can't believe I don't have to get up after the weekend for work for more than a year!  Happy days :)  Oh I know there will be other, much more important reasons to get up early on Monday's but they'll also be a cracking reason to get up!  4 working days and counting!


Have had a weird day of belly rolls.  Not sure whether she's moving down, up or sideways.  Lost track of which is her bum and which is her head, but i think she's planking in there...  And i have a feeling it's my bladder she's resting on.  Choice.  (it actually is!).


So this is my little project for the next two weeks...

Anyone care to take bets on a) whether i finish it, and b) whether there will be even a passing resemblance to the photo?!!

It's a verrrrrry weird feeling (being the planner that i am) not knowing when's she is going to decide to come play.  Or where i will be when that happens.  I had a moment driving on the motorway today when i felt a kick? a twinge? while driving in the inside lane in rush hour traffic.  Crap.  what happens if she picks that moment to peek out and say hello?  what to do yani?

i guess you just have to go with it and know you will laugh about it later.

3 week countdown folks!

Bubs does the RWC Opening Ceremony...

...  Thanks random man at Mo's.

So apart from idiots on the tracks meaning getting stuck in a line for the train for an hour and a half, and then stuck on the train for another half hour, I finally made it home for the rugby...  There's something to be said being 8 1/2 months pregnant and trying to hail a cab with hundreds of others.  Mr Taxi Driver, you're one brave man to say no to everyone but me.  You do in fact rock.

Thanks to the three WICKED chicks who guarded my belly for me from the thousands of angry commuters at Britomart, and kept me smiling with their awesome songs.  As much as i love the three of you, I'm afraid i just can't bring myself to name her Ursula in your honour.

Legs, it will be ok - I'm sure we will find you under all that swelling somewhere.  One day...

It was worth the wait for the haka :)

So.  She's currently building a hut and hiding out under my ribs. I think she's using my ribs as the roof but keeps forgetting its a low roof and banging her head on it.  Ribs are over-rated anyway.

I swear she was doing the mexican wave while i was doing yoga last night.  Even the instructor could see her moving.  Maybe she's practising for the rugby???

All the pregnant ladies...

This is absolute GOLD!  Love it - thanks Loops :)
