Yes, Pot is 4 days late so far and not really showing any signs of moving anywhere at all! Oh well - we are having a lovely week regardless, and am trying to look on this as bonus Us time, rather than being late. So - the due date itself passed without incident and was very calm and relaxed. On Wednesday i was feeling a little cabin-feverish so we drove to Ickworth house in the afternoon and went for a lovely walk around the grounds. Weather wasn't great, but we walked about 3-4 miles or so, which was great. Got lots of nice photos too!
On Thursday the weather was fantastic so we decided to drive to the beach at Walton on the Naze. Took about an hour and a half to get there but we had lunch and wandered a lot, and again walked about 3-4 miles or so. Then went for a curry at the pub with P&T, but that had no effect on Pot either.
Yesterday was a bit weird - I got all upset and emotional in the morning because we had a stupid argument over misunderstandings, and it left me feeling a bit odd all day. Still, I went out in the afternoon to meet the NCT girls for coffee and chocolate cake and a good natter, and that was really nice. Charlotte and I then had a wander around a couple of crafty type kids' shops in Halstead and I bought Pot a Cheeky Chops bib and a toy... very cute. Came home and N went to pub with P, and then we had a lovely bbq. Felt much better. Was feeling extremely despondent a lot of yesterday - part of me was hoping that was the hormonal weirdness signifying the start of labour, but don't think it was somehow!
Today's been great too - firstly, Nichola and Ben had their baby! A boy, called Samuel William Jack. We don't have photos or details yet, but so exciting that the first of the babies has arrived. I reckon Tori will be next, but could even be Charlotte. I would love it to be me, as am starting to feel very ready now, but all in good time. It'll be sometime in the next 9 days anyway, so am not panicking. Just would prefer it to happen naturally.
So anyway, after that we went to the garden centre and got a new eucalyptus, 2 x blackberry plants and a fig. Came back, ripped up the massive plant over the side of the shed, had a tactical dash to Focus, then sanded, primed and painted the front of the shed! It's green now - looks very cool, though needs more paint, and we'll do the planting tomorrow. All very productive. Was feeling incredibly energetic all day, but feel shattered now so have just had a bath and am now feeling all relaxed and cosy.
Time for bed, or some games before bed. Feeling much better than yesterday, and looking forward to finishing the painting tomorrow.
