One week to go...

Been a while - time has been going pretty quickly of late, which is great. I only have one more week of work, thankfully - the end can't come fast enough. Not really interested in it anymore, just want to be at home now getting ready for Pot's arrival. Very excited. We're still torn between names - well, I'm torn, I think N is more convinced by one than the other, but I'm starting to prefer the other name - so we shall see. Maybe we'll just know when we meet him or her. Maybe it'll be a girl anyway and then it's not such a problem, as I think we're pretty much set on the girl name, though not necessarily the middle name. We shall see.

Things at work are pretty rubbish but with only one week to go I can't really complain. Also have lots of meetings next week so that should make the time go faster. It's weird - I'm really looking forward to meeting the baby, but that's not what I'm impatient about - it's purely work. Am then really, really looking forward to just being at home and having time to do things, sorting out the nursery, getting things for Pot, enjoying the new kitchen (flooring delayed by 5 weeks though so just hoping it goes in before Pot arrives!) and relaxing. Hopefully will get to do some writing too - really need to get on with that, I have neglected it for over a year now and it's not going to write itself, sadly. We shall see - maybe I'll get my study all nice and tidy and then have a stab at it again. Hopefully once I get on and start, it'll all come back pretty quickly.

Feeling OK at the moment though get tired quite suddetly - am feeling quite stretched some days, and Pot can take me by surprise sometimes with a sharp jab in the ribs - can actually be quite painful. It's lovely to feel him / her moving around a lot, and wouldn't swap that for added comfort! Just would be nicer if I could enjoy it at home! Still - not long to go.
First NCT is tomorrow - quite looking forward to it. Hope it's interesting and useful - slightly nervous that it won't tell us anything we don't already know - but we shall see. Maybe we'll meet some nice people - who knows.

Right - work time. Joy!
