39 weeks

39 weeks

Little one still in belly.

I'm not fed up yet. In fact, I'm still very happy just pottering about, enjoying the kicks (mostly) and carrying this precious load. I think K is finding these last few weeks hard though - and is getting mighty impatient to meet our little one. We've met some teeny newborns over the past few weeks and I can see that he is aching to hold his own baby. I guess it must be hard for him, not feeling the little one's movements so intimately, to feel that same connection - and that's where the eagerness for this baby to be born comes from. But not long now....

We're still hanging things in the nursery and adding little treasures - but I'll post some peeks soon, Little Sister (and others who have been asking). K and I will go in most nights and just look around, flicking through the books on the shelves, smoothing down blankets or holding up the outfits and carrying on about little arms and feet that will soon be sticking out of the rompers. Such the dags.

But you can't blame us for being excited.

  2. I'm kinda jealous that you're nearly there. And Ben's exactly the same as K...i think it must be difficult for those boys not to feel the baby all the time. I keep getting baby bits out and having another look at them. I can't believe that in just over 3 months a teeny thing will have arrived to use them!
    Enjoy the last week (or so). You're looking blooming gorgeous xx

  3. Wow. Almost time.

    Enjoy these last few days, hours, with baby on the inside.

    I remember those final checks, refolding tiny suits, fluffing blankets and rearranging toys and books.

    Looking forward to your post about bub's arrival. And the name too, I love baby names!

    xx

  4. I used to sit in the feeding chair in Grace's room all the time before she was born, just picturing things and imagining life with a bub :) I know what you mean about savouring these last few weeks of belly kicks, I've been trying hard not to complain about feeling so big but instead, to remember that this will probably be the last time I'll feel those movements seeing as we don't plan on any future additions to our family after this bub. Love the silhouette belly shot above :) Take care x

  5. I love this post, there's something so profoundly beautiful about those final days/weeks of waiting. I often think back to that time... that life. So precious.
