How far along: 31 weeks
Baby bump: weighs about 3lb 1/3 and is the size of a coconut.
What's happening this week: this week I went to an Expectant Parent Event at Mothercare.
There were presentations each lasting 15minutes about feeding, emergency first aid, car seat safety & nursery.
It was all neatly arranged in the relevant sections of the store with seating ( very wise) and demonstrations during the talks. As a third time mum I wasn't expecting to find it so useful but it was. I feel so much more confidence and can be a lot more prepared for the baby after these presentations and the hosts of each section were so knowledgeable and ready for questions.
Throughout the rest of the store their were other organisations and companies offering services and products for pregnancy and baby and I was very happy to find Chantel a holistic therapist. I wish I had found her at the beginning of my pregnancy to help me with the Hyperemisis. I did take her up on her pregnancy massage offer she had for the event and I'm looking forward to that in week 32 :-)
There was also a little bit of food and drink available and I was given a gift bag with a 10% off voucher for the store! a little baby hat, box of cappuccino sachets, a baby on board badge and leaflets for various products.
I would definitely recommend the event in the future to any mummy to be, however I do think the advertising for such events is pretty scarce. I only happened to see it by chance on a friends facebook post. I have been to mothercare a lot in the last month and think they should be putting leaflets I my bag at the till or handing them out in the store.
Sleep: has been easy this week as I've been working extra hours and everyday, so come bed time I was out like a light, waking for the loo tho.
Best moment: putting the crib together, it's becoming real now I can see babies bits all around me.
Going to my clients wedding, it was beautiful. It was lovely to spend time alone with Stu we had fun on the photo booth and even managed a very slow, waddling dance.
Movement: started with the stabbing pains that make me stop in my tracks as I'm walking. He still moves high in my ribs, likes bouncing off my right hip and is making more movement down below.
Food cravings / aversions: fresh orange juice
Symptoms: lots of heartburn.
Emotions: i really have been so busy this week that I have been feeling exhausted rather than emotional
What I miss: the ability to work so hard and fast, everything is at a snails pace now, we even have to set off earlier to walk to school.
What I'm looking forward to: my baby shower next week! :-)
How the family is doing: my daughter is very excited about the baby shower, my son actually thought we were going to take a shower( explaining that's why only girls can come) bless him.
