Settled In

We are finally living in our new place and are loving every moment of it. After living in a house with no carpet anywhere for 2 years it's soooo nice having carpet in our place. Air conditioning is such a luxury and we dont know what to do with ourselves living in such a quiet area... something we've never had. It's so nice and peaceful + we have a garage to park our car in too!

I still have 2 boxes that need unpacking but they are full of random bits & pieces so I'm procrastinating the unpacking of them.

I've got my 34 week check up tomorrow at the Hospital which I'm excited about. I'll get to hear the babies heart beat again, see if the baby has moved positions or not and I'll also get to meet my Obstetrician AND talk about pain relief!! I've been having a lot more Braxton Hicks contractions lately and my feet have become very sore and swollen along with my hands! The warm weather here doesnt help a lot either!

Will post some more photos soon.

Love Meg

The Baby Is Ready....

Went for a check up at the doctors yesterday and my doctor was quite surprised with the position of the baby being that its little head is fully "engaged" ready to go. Apparently its unusual for the baby to be fully engaged at this stage, usually it happens in 2 or 3 weeks time. He did say though that the baby could float back up and re-engage later on. So we'll just wait and see. I said that I can manage another 5 weeks and then the baby can come at 37 weeks that'll be fine with me!

Still packing up the house and are getting ready for the big move.

Jeremy is taking me away this weekend to an unknown destination which will be a nice surprise. It will be good to get away and relax for a weekend together before the baby comes.

Not much else is news here at the moment. The weather is suppose to heat up to 32+ tomorrow and again next week. Summer is definately on its way!

Drop us a line if you have time.

Our New Home...


Today we found out that we have been accepted to move into this awesome 2 bedroom townhouse. We're actually downsizing for the next year but will hopefully move from this place to our very own house which will be bigger! We have to go in on Friday and sign the lease, get the keys on October 17th and will move in that weekend. Moving house is such a pain but at least we get to throw out a lot of junk that we've accumulated over the last 2 years...and we can get ready for our new little arrival.

Is everyone happy?

So it's been over a month since I last wrote on here...I have reminded Jeremy to update this blog but obviously with no luck.

Things here in Bendigo are good. We are both still flat out with work, we're moving out of our rental property in 3 weeks time and dont have another place to move to yet and we're expecting a baby in about 10 weeks time!

So life is very busy for us right now.

I'm still working at Victory Church 4 days a week but will be going on holidays from November 1st and then dropping back to 2 days a week, which I will be maintaining all the way through but working from home when the little baby arrives.

Right now I'm 30 weeks and 4 days. I really have no complaints about the whole pregnancy so far, its been amazing and I really am extremely blessed for being so well. I have an overly active baby moving around in my tummy who quite likes playing as I'm about to fall asleep!

Movements can be seen by all watching my tummy but the baby is very shy when it comes to anyone else but 'Mum' putting their hands on my belly!

Jeremy and I just finished our Pre-Natal classes and are feeling so much more relaxed and calm about birth/labor (especially me!) and am really really looking forward to meeting our baby very soon. 30 weeks have flown by so before we know it our lives will be changed forever!

We're starting to get a nice collection of baby stuff in our place and just cant wait to find a new house so they we can set it all up!


For all of you who have not seen a photo of my belly so far, here you go. Hope this makes you happy as I'm not fond of taking pictures of this ever growing belly!

It was taken tonight at 30 weeks and 4 days, so I'll post another one soon so you can see how much the baby has grown.

That's it from me, I promise I'll write again soon.

Meg
