Thank goodness I can see a light at the end of the tunnel now, I am so keen to meet my baby and now finally I have a date to look forward to, otherwise known as B Day. Sunday 19th at 4pm I am going into L+D so fingers crossed all goes well and I might even be lucky enough for things to start on their own before that date.
I am planning on going to DH's cricket dinner on Saturday night so maybe that alone will be enough to get things moving. I have also started losing my mucus plug so that is a good sign of things progressing but of course this could still mean I am a week or so away from going into labour on my own.
Wish me luck.

38.5 weeks and counting down
Sometimes I feel like I have been pregnant forever and other times I can't quite get my head around the fact that I will have a baby anytime between now and two weeks from now. In a lot of ways I would love to know when labour will start but I am sure this would make me very nervous. I am looking forward to it all starting, not the pain bit but to actually feel like its all started and I don't have to wait anymore, I am very impatient.
The last few weeks have been really nice, I have spent most of my time relaxing at home, getting the house organised, fixing up the nursery (which is such a nice room to be in now) and catching up with friends. I am getting pretty uncomfortable physically and try to get to the gym about four times a week to walk on the treadmill and do some light weights and that way I can escape to the bathroom whenever I need to. The pressure I feel sometimes is quite intense and trying to get to sleep can be a challenge because I seem to get BH whenever I am sitting/lying down. Yesterday I had BH all day so I know my body is gearing up and things will start happening soon. For some reason I feel like things will start progressing further next week and hopefully I will go into labour then.
I am really excited to meet my baby now, I know labour will be full on but I am not scared of it anymore and I guess that is natures way of preparing you mentally for the job ahead. Bring it on I say.
