Week 38

Today Maru chan and I are at week 38! 2 weeks till my due date. 

This week has quite literally flown by. We have had lots of visitors and of course there is ROXY here to entertain us. She is a lovely dog. The other night she cracked us up by managing to get herself shut in the garage when she sneaked in there and because it was dark my mum didn't notice her. She was just hanging around the dog biscuit shelf hoping some might fall down. Then she and Sam were lying on the floor muzzles touching, but then they got a bit ratty and started pushing each other with their muzzles, trying to claim that exact spot of floor. She likes to get up at 7am, an hour earlier than Sam. 

So how are Maru chan and I doing? Very well thanks. In the last week or so, I have noticed a definite loosening of the hips. I get a lot of pinched nerves there now. That isn't so fun, but usually it happens when I am standing doing something at home and I can curse and no-one hears me. But increasingly it is happening when I am just sitting down and Maru chan is writhing around/beating me to a pulp from the inside. But honestly that is my only problem so far so really have nothing to complain about. In the last week 4 people have said to me that I don't look like I am 2 weeks away from my due date - as in my tummy is kind of small. Maybe they were just expecting me to be massive. Personally I am happy with my tummy size, but can't help but be slightly concerned that am now not big enough! Thighs and butt on the other hand, another story altogether. 

As of today my tummy looks like this:

A month ago it looked like this:
