About Me

My photo
For five years I went through hell and back to become a Mummy! I had three miscarriages from natural pregnancies, five IUI attempts, five IVF attempts, and three operations to remove endometriosis, a polyp and a fibroid. I have been with my 'almost perfect' Husband since 2003. We married in 2009 on Valentine's Day and we are extremely happy together. I decided to start a blog because I needed to write down my thoughts and feelings to show myself and others how I was never going to give up until we got our forever baby.

Since having my baby, I'm inspired to create: Baby Blankets by Me & Mum

Baby Shower #2 - 36 Weeks

So I had a second baby shower at home for my friends and a few neighbours and it was lovely to chat to them all and show them the nursery. Luckily my Mum came to stay and her and Hubby helped me get everything ready and tidy in time. I got some lovely presents for me and the Baby - we're very lucky!
One of my friends had special cakes made:


So here I am at 36 weeks:



I only have 3 days left at work. I know I will miss it at first and be bored so I have started making a list of what I need to do before Baby arrives. I also know that it is time to finish as I am quite uncomfortable now - I have a permanently stuffy nose and that doesn't help my breathlessness, my bump is tight quite a lot of the time and I have started getting period like pains every now and then. Plus my groin and hips have started to ache - must be all this baby weight as I have put on 1 stone 4 pounds now!

I have packed my hospital bag and there is one for Hubby but I still haven't packed Baby's bag - we have so many lovely things for him/her that I can't decide and want to pack most of the wardrobe!!

I am still seeing the consultant but don't need any more scans now as they are happy with Baby's growth and position, which is great. I did have a gestational diabetes test as I had sugar in my urine sample at the last two  appointments but it came back all clear which means I can stuff myself with Easter Eggs!

I'm so excited and feel ready for Baby to come whenever they feel ready now!
