Now 37 weeks pregnant! Hasn't it zoomed past. Working full time helps with that! I finished a couple of weeks ago, and Jayson and I are now beneficiaries as he hasnt been able to find work. I get my paid parental leave from next week, and a nice bonus from IRD for a tax refund so money will be a bit easier than it has been for the past 3 weeks. Its hard to go from a decent amount of money each week to barely enough to cover rent! And Im much to proud to ask for help so struggle through it is. :)
So we are all set for babys arrival, the bassinet is made, nappies on the change table, bags are packed and the carseat in the car...and Libby has been prepped but it will still be interesting to see how she copes with someone vying for her mummys attention! She has been extremely clingy lately and I kinda put it down to so many changes this year - dad moving in, me back at work full time, moving house, not living with Nan anymore...its a lot for a little girl to cope with.
She continues to amaze me daily, she counted her fingers to 10 yesterday, she knows and can identify certain letters (L, O, R, T, I, B, Y, M) and of course numbers - she quite often looks at my digital clock - "look mum a '2'!!" and knows heaps of songs which she loves to perform. Shes only 2.9!! I think she will do well at school, and kindy. She is toilet trained now, we ended up doing a 3 day every half hour potty session and she finally got it. She is nearly out of night nappies, as she is only doing a little wee each night, and is occasionally dry too. Quite exciting! She is a very active girl, and going through a growth spurt at the moment, eating us out of house and home! I honestly dont know where she puts it. Hollow legs like her dad! The photo above is taken by Suz Bolitho, at 26 weeks. Ill put some up of Libby and me and Jayson taken by Suz - we are so impressed by the photos she took!
So hopefully we will have some news of the new arrival in a few weeks time - due date 2 August :)
