Real Nappies - Wednesday 4th April 2007


Today I received my free starter pack of Real Nappies from West Sussex County Council. I am going to use these for Lennon during the night and when we are at home. This will save us a lot of money and will help reduce rubbish waste.


Holiday in France - Wednesday 4th April 2007

Wayne and I were meant to be going on holiday to Limogues on Saturday 5th May 2007, but as Lennon is going to be born on that day we have had to rearrange this as I didnt think that I could fit it all in!

We are now planning to go on Saturday 22nd September 2007. Lennon will have to have his own little passport, which can you believe is £45.00. I mean he is only little! not only does it cost loads but you have to make sure in the picture that he has his eyes open, I am looking forward to getting the passport photos done! Also when we fly he has to sit on my lap and the flight company charge £15.00 for that, I mean to sit on his Mum's lap they charge us.

I am really looking forward to our first holiday as a family. We are going to a fishing lake in Limogues and we have hired a cottage that sits by the lake. So we can just relax by the side of the lake and take nice long walks together.

My Days Are Numbered At Work - Wednesday 4th April 2007

After today I only have 5 full days left at work!

It is very scary to think that I wont be going into work everyday, seeing the same people that I have seen for the last four years.

It is very hard to get to and from work now as I get more and more tired by the day. Wayne has been very good and is taking me to and from the bus stop, which helps lots.

Once I have finished work then I can work on nesting in the flat. Currently we are doing lots to the flat to plan for Lennon's arrival and also so that we can sell it in the new year and get a nice house.

Developments for 35 Weeks - Tuesday 3rd April 2007

Your baby now weighs about 5.25 pounds/ 2.4 kilograms and measures approximately 18 inches/ 45 centimetres from head to toe. His elbow, foot or head may protrude from your stomach when he stretches and squirms about. Soon, as the wall of your uterus and your abdomen stretch thinner and let in more light, your baby will begin to develop daily activity cycles.
This week, your little one is now sporting fingernails and has a fully developed pair of kidneys. His liver can also process some waste products.
There's much less amniotic fluid and much more baby in your uterus, which has expanded to a thousand times its original size. You've probably put on between 25 and 30 pounds/ 11 and 13.6 kilograms and your weight gain has hit its peak. Even your belly button has got bigger and has popped outward. You may be feeling breathless now that the top of your uterus is up under your ribs. Try getting down on all fours to take deeper breaths. Although the pressure on your bladder will make the bathroom your second home, don't drink any less water -- your baby needs the fluids. But you may like to cut down on diuretic drinks like tea and coffee, which will make you have to urinate even more often.

Babies Intuition - Sunday 1st April 2007

They say that babies can sense when somebody is pregnant well this week I experienced this.

Firsty my friend Sarah Gumbleton came around with her 10month old baby Henry. Everytime Henry came near me he would rub my bump. He did this quite a few times and he did it again when he went to leave.

Secondly my friend Sarah Southgate came around with her 12week old baby Josh. He really enjoyed being in my arms and didnt want to go back to his Mums! she thinks its because he could smell my milk and because I have bigger boobs then her!

I have also experienced this with animals, Alfie (our cat) loves to sit on my lap at the moment. This is not something that he has done before. Also Grandad Micks cats don't like pregnant people, they kept nipping me!

Bath Time Movements - Sunday 1st April 2007

Eventually Lennon has started to move around when I am in the bath!

Just little kicks and wiggles but he enjoys having water poured over the tummy then this makes him move about.

I am going to try and go swimming this week to see if he likes that......
