This week has been one of the hottest weeks I can remember and I've had to go without aircon ;( It's been a constant 42-45c (107-113f) all week but I must say I coped pretty well considering I baby sat 2 out of the 5 hot days and had to have the dogs inside the whole time (out of the full sun).
But on a happier note, we had our baby shower yesterday (I'm writing this on Sunday) and it was such a fantastic day! I usually plan these big parties and I end up stressed out over making the food and setting myself decorating tasks that I know I could never complete. And then of course the morning of my parties I end up with 10 text msgs off people cancelling for one reason or another and then half the people show. So basically most of my parties are epic fails! This time I was incredibly organised and very calm. I decided to take short cuts where I could, packet mix cake mixed with my own ingredients to make one very tasty cake, pre making what I could days before, set the main table up the day before ect. And then a large amount of people I didn't expect to show up, did! Most of them I hadn't seen in years so it was so fun to catch up! Ill tell you all about it in my next blog post plus a present haul of all the amazing presents we received.
Week: 32 weeks
Pregnancy symptoms: I've had a boob-spurt in the last few days. Suddenly my maternity bras from my last pregnancy don't fit! I'm having quite intense braxton hicks now. They take my breath away and almost feel like the start of labour. Apparently they get worse with each pregnancy :(
Moody/happy: I've been a little sooky this week but I put that down to the heat and all the things that have been on my mind. Although I have 8 weeks to go, I'm starting to want to have everything done like wash all jelly beans stuff, pack my hospital bags and clean up Mjs car seat to turn back into an infant seat. I think my impatience is stressing me out a little. I hope it goes away soon!! Tom bought me these beautiful flowers today to cheer me up!!! :)
Total weight gain: 73.3kgs again this week. I guess my weight gain has stopped for now.
New stuff: So I didn't know what to title this, obviously lol, but I did some shopping today and would like to share! Most of the stuff I layby'd as I don't need it just yet. I got a black 3/4 sleeved feeding top as the one I currently own is all stretched. I plan on using this after the baby is born. I got 2 tops that have a deep vneck to make it easy for breast feeding but they go loose under the breast so I can wear them as soon as bubs is born and not have to worry about left over belly flab! I got a 3 pack of singlet suits as I'm not the biggest fan of singlets but these are expensive compared to singlets so I'm doing half and half. I got all the minis for the hospital, a Johnson's pack for bubs and deodorant, shampoo, conditioner mouth wash and body wash for Tom and I. I got a toiletry bag for the hospital. I got a 3 pack of muslin swaddles and 3 pack of stretchy swaddles. It will be the end of summer, start of autumn here in Australia so although I like stretchy swaddles, I have muslin ones as well so he won't overheat if its a warm day. I got an extra towel as I only have one for him so far. I got some orthodontic dummies just incase. And I think that's about it!!!
Looking forward to: It's Tom's birthday in 2 weekends and I'm looking forward to spoiling him! I'm not sure what were doing over the weekend but I think he will be very pleased with his presents :)
