Still in one piece...

Trying to be better at this blogging lark, so a more timely update this time around. Pot is still firmly in place and personally I don't think it's moving for well over a week, but who knows - things could change any minute and I could end up in labour later today! I don't think I will though. Famous last words...

So what have we been up to, other than just getting bigger and heavier? Well, this weekend we went to Mark and Sandra's wedding at Mark's place in Dorset, which was good fun. Saw loads of friends which was lovely, including L & S and Miri, who was a model of good behaviour. Pot, take note please! We stayed at Claire and Neil's on Friday and Saturday nights, which was great as it meant I got a chance to catch up with Claire, which doesn't happen too often. She gave us some Baby Play toys from Mamas and Papas - so cute! And my other orders have arrived, so we have the Baby Bjorn, and the rocker chair... I think we're all set in terms of stuff, just need the mental preparation now! Hmmm - not so easy!

Last night all the NCT lot came over for the bra and beer night, which was really good fun, apart from slight embarrassment of bra fitting, but we all bit the bullet and took the attitude that we're all going to go through much more embarrassing things over the next few weeks so might as well get used to it! Bought a few things, so feeling more prepared. Really nice to be getting on so well with everyone from NCT, we are starting to feel like friends now I think, which is really nice. I think N really enjoyed his boys' night out too, as he doesn't get a chance to go out without me very often and it's probably quite a nice thing! Plus they're all going through the same thing, like me and the girls, so it's really nice for him to be making those friends. Maybe they'll all start meeting up to go and watch Andy play footy! Who knows... they're a really nice bunch though, and it's great to feel I'm going to have friends within half an hour who are all going through the same thing as us.

Today is our 2 year anniversary - hurray! Had a lovely day - apart from being really tired, which is thanks to spending all day tidying yesterday, and then having a late night. But started off with pressies this morning - Pot gave us a card! And a book of PC fairy tales, which is very funny. Then Nick got me some lovely perfume (Chance, Chanel), an audiobook CD of No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, and a really good book on watercolour painting, which is just about the right level for me - i.e. very basic! So have spent the last couple of hours painting, which was really fun and relaxing. Paul's in doing some decorating as well, so it's nice to know things are getting done. Not sure when we'll get around to doing the flat, but hey, all in good time.

In terms of how I'm feeling, generally I'm OK apart from being a bit tired today. My feet really hurt if I stand up for very long, and my lower back is starting to hurt more too. The bump is definitely feeling heavier, and the stretch marks are rather unpleasant, though not as bad as some I've seen. Don't like them though - oh well, they'll fade. On the whole in good spirits, and hoping to have a nice easy week, as I don't really feel like doing a lot. Maybe will perk up once I've had more sleep. We shall see!

Right, off to do more useless and relaxing things. More updates as and when any news happens.
