Thirty Two Weeks & Three Days;

My beautiful baby girl,

Braxton hicks are giving me grief lately. I get them quite often and though they're nothing compared to my previous period pains, they're a nuisance! I wish you'd just come already and stop giving me all these false signs! I also know you love to stretch out. My rib is currently bruised and slightly dislocated thanks to your little foot! At my 31 week appointment Penny (my midwife) said that you're head down :) Let's hope you stay that way! I have a funny feeling that you're going to come early. Everyone else has predicted that you'll come late. I hope not. I want to see you as soon as possible, and time is dragging by as I wait to see if you  look more like me or Daddy! I'm seriously nesting. Everything has to be perfect for whenever you enter this world, and my mind is telling me to clean. So I do. Everything is dirty again within an hour or so, but I don't mind. I get pleasure out of scrubbing things lately. I'm less mobile than before though. I have to have breaks every so often, and even when I've just woken up I usually feel hot and bothered and have to have a rest as soon as I get into the lounge! It's a combination of the weather and you, I think. I'm beginning to get nervous for your birth. I can't wait to see you, I just hope I'm not terrible in labour - I don't cope very well with pain at all! I cry over every little cut I get, ha! I saw you have hiccups for the very first time two days ago. My stomach kept jumping and it was amazing. As soon as I called Daddy for him to look you stopped though. Typical! I just want you to come now gorgeous, I want to cuddle you and kiss you! I'm desperate to see you. My nights are sleepless and I never seem to be comfortable, whether I'm standing sitting or lying down. I never seem to be in bed later than 11am. Usually I'm up before 9. Ridiculous! I'm hoping you come as soon as I'm full term, so please listen to mummy and arrive! Ha.

All my love,

Mummy x
