The Waiting Game

It's a funny business this pregnancy thing. You know, waiting...knowing that at any time your body may kick into gear and your baby will decide it's time to make an out of the womb appearance! And there are days when you can't believe it will actually happen - even though you know that one way or another baby will have to come out!

I've been fortunate in that my first two babies came early. I never had to go through the post 40 weeks waiting, which I'm sure is so much harder mentally and physically (because let's face it, whether baby is or not, a pregnant woman is well and truly ready by that stage!)

So who knows what will happen this time around, but I feel myself already in the 'waiting' mindset. There are a few things I could do around the place to further prepare, keep myself busy, but to be honest I'm just doing this one thing at the moment...Well not quite true, whilst I wait, baby grows, gets more and more cramped and I guess eventually decides they've had enough of the cramped quarters...

Anyway thanks for all your kind comments on my belly shot...I suspect this new angle gives you a more complete picture of my growing girth!
