We get the keys to the new place on Friday, so this is the last week that we’ll be in this house as we know it. Next week it will be all hands on deck packing and moving. I’m getting so excited about it that I could burst.
Today marks 26 weeks gestation and to celebrate Rach and I went to drinks at the hospital. Well, it was me doing the drinking actually – that yucky glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. Mmm Mmm!! Then I had my antenatal appointment and the baby was so skittish from the drink that it was jumping all over the place and we could hardly pin it down to check it’s heartbeat. All in all, everything is fine and both baby and I are on the right track and feeling well. It was so lovely to have Rach there to share in the experience – I can’t imagine what she was thinking when listening to the heart beating, but it was probably something like “Thank God that is Franny lying there and not me!!!”.
A few congratulations are in order. Firstly to Rach for having her amazing Layout accepted for publication; then to Moira for having her brilliant wallhanging accepted as a project for a Scrapbooking Magazine and for landing a DT job at the local scrapbooking store; and finally to Rowena for telling me last night that she is expecting her first baby in December. Woo Hoo to all of you. I’m so proud of you all.
Rach had a challenge on her blog where we had to complete this sentence. Here is my answer.
At this point in my life I am….. blissfully pregnant and a new home owner.
I think that just about sums it up.
Catch you soon 🙂
Hey Fran! Yay that everythings going well and Yay that all is good with the house too! I hear I’ll be seeing you this weekend?! Yay!!! Can’t wait 🙂
Thanks Franny! And congratulations Rowena!!!
I’ll be in touch Fran re helping out for the move. x
Hmmmm the things I was thinking, sitting there, where do I start!
– Wow that is such a miracle.
– How amazing it is to hear that little babies heart beat even though it is jumping around like it is at a rave because you had the glucose test!
– I am so glad I am here and getting to do this with you closely followed by, jee I wish you had been able to see my hugeeeeeeee belly with a gazillion stretch marks and heard Eric and Zara’s heart beating and felt what I was feeling sitting on the couch.
– I was glad it was you and sad it wasnt me all at the same time and feeling the need to slap you as you dont have one single solitary stretch mark after 4 children AND you look as good as you do at 26 weeks!
LOL Oh and so much more!
There is no where I would rather have been!
