36 Weeks and "I Am So Over This"

Okay..I have not updated for quite awhile. Life has been very busy...firstly two weeks ago I went into Prem Labour, booked into the hospital and put on a drip from Thursday through to Monday. (What Fun!!!!!!). Dr RvR managed to stop contractions and let my little Angel grow a little bigger

Today, I went for my 36 Weeks scan. Jada weighed in at 3.4 kgs with another month still to grow. (Little Lotta in the making). Dr RvR showed us that she has lotsa hair...I was so happy.

I am so over being pregnant at the moment. I am up 19.5 kgs (gloat sisters gloat). I have started getting the whole "heartburn", swollen ankles and have developed two best friends in the shape of hemroids....yahoo...!!! I am so heavy...I walk at a snails pace. (I am becoming the kinda pregnant woman I used to hate - get over it, you are just pregnant and not dying)

I was hoping that Dr RvR was going to book me in for a Caesar sooner than later...but, alas, he smiled and said "You are beautiful"....so my Caesar date is the 18th of November 2010....

I already had a plan. I am going to start walking soon....I am going to rub my tummy...and I am going to have lotsa "Nookies"....maybe all of the above will encourage Jada to come a little sooner...What do ya think? Hee hee.....

Anyway, enjoy the plenty pictures...

32 Week Update

Can you believe it? I am thirty two weeks..I have six weeks left...to be exact 43 days today. I am officially in the third trimester. I am expanding daily. I am amazed at the human body...it is pushed to its limits in pregnancy. I have not been one of those ladies that stays "nice and small"...I am huge...I have put on 18 kgs so far and I am still growing. But...I am not stressing...If you do not like what you see, then turn away...smile. My Darling B still thinks that I am the sexiest woman in this world

Last week, my B and I got to get away for a few days. We left on Tuesday and spent two night at Welgevoden Private Game Reserve. It was awesome. We got to see lotsa buck, birds, Rhino, giraffe, leopard and warthog. We got to relax for a few days. We had good food and an awesome room. The bathroom was open plan onto a verandah overlooking the reserve...the whole "wall" was a window. My B and I took advantage of this...and had a "romantic" candlelit bubble bath at 10 o'clock at night.....

We then left on the Thursday for a few days in Ballito. I have been craving the Durban smell since I have fallen pregnant. We were like real "dutchman"...we were at the beach at 8:30 in the morning....and I bought a bikini specially for the trip. Nothing like a huge pregnant woman in a tiny bikini waddling down the beach to the waves........ah well....good thing I did not care...hee hee

So I am now back at work and looking forward to our Little Jada being born. Being pregnant is alot harder than I thought it would. Yupp, it is an amazing experience but wow, is it tiring. I am finding it very frustrating being so "disabled"....

The one thing that I have really found amazing in our pregnancy is my love for my B...Before falling pregnant, I did not think I could love him more....however each day that goes by, I love him more and more...There is this most amazing feeling in my soul when I look at him. I have been very blessed to have found him. I am spoilt rotten......I thank the Universe daily for sending me my soul mate..I never knew life could be so good. Love you my B

Anyway...I am going for my 33 week scan on Wednesday. We are expecting our little donkey to be weighing in at 2.3 kgs...I will keep you updated...

Until then...stay safe

Introducing Jada Grace

Today was our 3 D scan...and it was awesome. My B, sister C and I were all present to witness the "unveiling" of our precious Jada's features.....and if the scan is anything to go on, our Jada looks like her Mommy with her chubby cheeks. It was amazing....I cannot believe that I am going on 30 weeks....62 more days left.

Below is my B and I waiting to go in for the scan....then our precious Jada..

We also got some good news today...my B's work have arranged for us to be booked into their private game reserve for next Tuesday and Wednesday...we then leave from there for our long anticipated weekend away....I am so excited but I am also starting to feel the nerves kicking in. This is the fastest, slowest period I have experienced in my life (I know that I am contradicting myself..but it is the only way I can explain how I feel)

Today, I give thanks to the Universe for my precious precious daughter, loving husband and family.

28 Weeks - Third Trimester
