The end is finally in sight! Now that I’m 37 weeks and
officially classed as full term *scary right* it seems as though my due date is
just around the corner. It’s crazy when I think back to when I first found out I
was pregnant at just 4 weeks along, since then there’s been so many milestones.
Throughout this pregnancy I’ve always been counting down to something; my first
scan, the end of the first trimester, my 20 week scan so we could find out
whether we were having a girl or a boy. In some ways it feels as though I’ve
been pregnant for ages, and realistically I have I mean it’s been nearly 9
months! But on the other hand, it feels like the pregnancy has whizzed by and
now it’s just a matter of weeks until we get to meet our little bundle of joy
and I honestly couldn’t be more excited! I had always expected the final weeks
of pregnancy to drag and go really slowly but I’ve recently moved out with my fiancé
so I’ve been rushing around like a headless chicken decorating, putting up
furniture and trying to get everything ready before the baby is born so I haven’t
had a chance to sit and count down the days.
So in the past week I went from not gaining any weight in months to gaining
5lbs overnight! I can only put that down to my suddenly increasing appetite.
As I’ve said before I’ve been wearing maternity jeans throughout as my
superskinny Topshop jeans stopped fitting almost straight away. In the past
couple of weeks I’ve been struggling as my tops have started getting a little
bit short but I’m so near the end that I’m not going to bother buying any new
ones.
I’ve got quite a few of them now but I’m honestly not fussed, our gorgeous
boy will be worth it.
While waiting for our carpets to be fitted me and matt haven’t been able to
put most of our furniture together so we’ve actually had to be sleeping on our mattress
on the floor! As you can imagine getting up and down is quite a struggle, so
that as well as heartburn and Braxton hicks has meant little sleep for me
lately.
The only thing I’ve been missing lately is having my belly to myself so I can
eat what I like.
Food
cravings/aversions
My food aversions have calmed down a lot lately but I’m pretty much
constantly craving cheese spread, I must have it at least three times a day. I’ve
also had a weird craving for roast dinners and gravy!
