Trying desperately not to let the impatience entirely take over and ruin what is my favourite time of year... For the most part it's not working. Most of the time I am being grumpy, impatient and all the while totally loosing my hypnobirthing inspired faith in my body.
However, times like last night are being toted up on a list of bonus enjoyments that would've otherwise been denied to us with a newborn. So with labour feeling literally decades away I circled town in a tour de Supermarkets the day after Halloween for something resembling fancy dress. Unsurprisingly pickings were slim and I just about scooped up these 9-12 month (good job my 19 month old is a dinky one) Halloween themed pyjamas. Teamed with her new "dox" hat, that she refuses to remove, we're ready to hit our friends' for joint Halloween and Guy Fawkes celebrations! (I remember from last year that a lot of readers have never heard of Guy Fawkes so peek here.) Spiced pumpkin soup, spider-web cupcakes, a few (toddler terrifying) fireworks and lots of friends with sympathetic faces for the bump... Wonderful!
Nerves are setting in. I'm questioning my body. I know it'll be worth it, I know it'll happen and I know we are so so lucky to have this "complaint" but living those beliefs is hard right now... Stay focused family A. We are so so close...
