Sheepishly

I am probably the worst blogger around at the moment!

I don't know if I can really blame pregnancy on not blogging or if it's just laziness. I can tell you though that I spend a lot of time THINKING about blogging and the longer it's gone between posts, the guiltier I feel and the more it feels silly to come back and do a post like this. All the things I was going to talk about after the last post are kind of old news and no one probably cares about a trip recap from a trip that happened 5 months ago!
Another thing is not a whole lot has been happening! We haven't gone on any other trips, gone on any long weekend excursions or day trips. We're both basically working (virtually opposite days off), coming home, sleeping and going back to work again. There's the occasional midwife visit thrown in there and the regular Sunday dinner at Glen's parents and really... That's as exciting as it's gotten around here!

With regards to the pregnancy, everything is moving along as it should and I've had a pretty boring and regular pregnancy thus far. I'm incredibly thankful that my only major complaint is being so incredibly tired (the major reason I haven't done much of anything - my days off are basically spent in bed asleep). The baby (as far as we can tell, it's a girl!) is growing as she should and has looked and sounded good at all our appointments. I'm edging up to 29w so only 11 to go until my due date! It's coming up VERY fast! I've definitely moved passed the "is she fat or pregnant?" stage and am enjoying being visibly pregnant. I'm also enjoying all the kicks and flutters and things. A lot of people find it weird or don't enjoy the kicking but honestly, I love it. Sometimes it's a little uncomfortable but I think it's pretty cool.
We have my mum's plane ticket booked and she'll be here two weeks before the baby is due so as long as I don't go early we should be ok! (the baby can come early as long as it's after September 7th!).

I'm still doing my project 365 photos but taking actual photos with my camera has taken a bit of a backseat - mostly due to not being able to get out and do things. The weather here has been pretty cold and miserable and like I said before, Glen and I haven't really had any days off together -- the days we HAVE had off together have been due to one (or both!) of us being sick - so we've spent the day in our PJs watching TV.

I kind of wish I'd kept up a bit with blogging during the pregnancy but honestly there hasn't been a lot to say. I'm going to make a concerted effort to keep up with things - and even post about the baby knitting I've done.



This is pretty much how I feel most days!
