Far out this pregnancy has been weird. Well, only weird in my mindset. I just can't get over how different this pregnancy has felt - how, for the most part, it has just been there in the background. It's amazing how having two energetic little ones can make a whole pregnancy pass without you even realising. I am enjoying being pregnant now, but there are only passing moments through the day when it is at the forefront of my mind.
I am so unprepared for bubba bump. Today, I finally pulled out some baby clothes I have stashed away from the two kidlets, and there is actually not much there. Heaps of singlets, but hardly any suits - especially newborn/winter suits. And because I don't feel confident that bubba bump is in fact a girl, some of the stuff I pulled out may not even be suitable. So... looks like I may have to at least a little bit of shopping for bubba bump over the next few months.
I feel like I have heaps of time left before bubba arrives... but in reality it is going to get here very soon. I really need to get into preparation mode and mindset.
We had a crazy-busy week this past week. I spent much of the week restoring my old dollhouse, to give to the little miss on her third birthday. It was a huge project in the end. All week I shipped the kids off to my sister for a couple of hours in the morning, and then would work on it for another couple of hours after the kids had gone to bed. It was just repainting it and cleaning it up mostly, but very fiddly and time consuming. We finally finished Thursday night, ready to give to the little miss on her birthday on Friday. She loved it though, and I'm so happy with how it turned out. That dollhouse was made by my Morfar (grandfather on mum's side) who was a carpenter. I'm not exactly sure how old it is, but around 20 years would be my guess. It has been passed around all the cousins on that side of the family, and now back to me for my children. Pretty special really. Then once the dollhouse project was completed, I had a massive party to plan for for the Saturday. It all went well, but it was exhausting, and the kids, hubby and I are still recovering. I wanted to do a big party for the little miss though, as she has never had a big one and the little man has had several! I also wanted to do it before bubba comes along.
I am very, very happy to have everything relatively back to normal now though. Big sigh of relief.
And while the hectic week was going on, I ate pretty terribly and didn't exercise at all... so, yeah.
But anyway, here we are - my 28 week belly pic. I think my belly growth has slowed down a bit maybe? It's hard to say. Mind you, at school drop off this morning I had the teacher and a school mum both comment on how much I had popped out over the holidays.
And just quietly, because I'm not saying anything to anyone in real life just yet - I'm hoping to have a professional maternity photo shoot soon. I have contacted a photographer, and hopefully I can convince hubby we have the money for it. This is my last pregnancy, and it something I always wanted to do! I hope I do, and I hope they turn out amazing.
