Things have been picking up with lots of Braxton Hicks contractions now. Yesterday I went to the supermarket and it was a real struggle to get round the whole place with them happening quite often. But having a trolley to lean on whilst I walked was good. Trying not to wonder if it is the real thing as obviously it is not, but last night had a few stern words with Maru chan about hanging out in there until Saturday afternoon, pretty please with a cherry on top. Other than that, I feel fine and Maru chan is kicking away nicely.
Roxy the chocolate brown Labrador is going home tomorrow and my sister and her partner are arriving, then DH on Saturday so it is going to be all go around here. Today is our last quiet day for a while I guess and may be the last chance to blog for a while.
Roxy has been entertaining us but also has a bad habit of eating socks and then vomiting them back up. We have been hiding our socks but she still seems to be able to find one even then! I am not happy as my small supply of socks is now even smaller as some are MIA. Yuck. Luckily she seems to be her usual self and eating and pooping normally, so I guess all socks have been ejected successfully.
Sam looks quite exhausted. I think he might be being kept awake by Roxy's snoring at night.
So that is all for now. Hopefully the next post from me will be announcing our new arrival! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers please!
So excited for you that the baby is almost here!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, I hope maru chan holds out until her daddy arrives and you can 'enjoy' the birth together!
ReplyDeleteI never experienced Braxton Hicks in any of my 3 pregnancies, what are they like?
Thanks for your messages Pixie and Achan.
ReplyDeleteMy BH contractions feel like my tummy getting really hard and tight. It mostly feels uncomfortable, especially if you are trying to walk or do something.
I had BH contractions, but your tummy will get much harder when the real thing arrives. I do hope Maru Chan hangs in there until DH arrives! Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jayne - hope Koichi gets there in time!
