38 weeks & 1 day
Last week was my first week off work which was a nice sigh of relief not having to get up early. I still ended up doing chores around the house but as the week went on I seemed to get very very tired which has made me nap (that sounds old). Thursday evening I started to get twinges in my left side and lower belly which scared me as I thought something was about to start but it dwindled until Friday morning but still nothing to report on so I'm not feeling as scared. Most of Sunday night and this morning I have had a belly ache feeling so haven't been able to sleep very well plus to add to it i've had awful heart burn, but baby is very active and i've heard movements decrease before labour starts. It's going to happen some day soon maybe in the next 2 weeks if i'm lucky so i've gotta be prepared.

37 weeks
Oh my only 3 weeks until due date, i'm having strange dreams I dreamt I had the baby early and it was a boy (we've been told it's a girl) plus celebs keep popping in to wish me well - maybe I watch too much tv.
Finished work on Friday which was a relief but now i'm wondering if i'll get lonely these next few weeks before baby is born - i'm sure it is just nerves towards all the changes that will be happening as i've been longing for the rest. Moods are up and down again one minute i'm happy and excited the next I feel sad and angry - what is going on.
Baby is still very active in my belly which is becoming more and more uncomfortable as well as Braxton Hicks they are happening all the time and make it hard to catch your breathe. I also keep thinking of the birth and if I should consider the water pool or not, I really don't know what to do.
Not long now and at 37 weeks i'm classed as full term so it could be any day from now OMG!

36 Weeks & 4 days
I'm feeling heavier than ever now which is a struggle. I saw the midwife yesterday and my bump measures as it should and baby's head is down but not engaged as yet, heartbeat fine, my blood results fine as is blood pressure, so all looking good.
My last week at work and must say it's been a stressful and tiring one as found it harder to get up in the morning maybe because I haven't had much sleep. The 30 minute drive to work has been a nightmare so i've been late everyday this week due to road works plus the day is long and it has been so uncomfortable sitting the whole day but the end is near as just one more full day to get through.

30 and 8 months Pregnant
Wow what a weekend turning the BIG 30 and being an uncomfortable 8 months pregnant. I never thought i'd spend my 30th having a party and not being able to drink plus I was exhaused by about 10pm.
It was a good one though a bit of pampering in the day having my hair cut and coloured (probably last time for a while) then having family and friends fussing over me the rest of the evening with balloons, banners, party popper, presents and my favourite food.
Now I have approx 4 weeks until pop day, which is making me feel rather scared now - My life is going to change big time what a start to my 30's - Bring it on.

8 Months
Just one more month to go woohoo!
I must say I've had enough now, this week hasn't been pleasant at all as I just feel exhausted, my hips and lower belly ache so much plus i've started to get those dreaded red stretch marks I have used cream everyday but nothing seems to prevent them.
Just 6 more days at work then I can look forward to lye ins and just relax before the baby is born - Hopefully. Even though I work in an office I am able to sit most of the day it's still difficult as belly feels rather uncomfortable in the same sitting position and the movements make it hard to concentrate.
Oh well not long to go.

35 Weeks & 1 Day
35 weeks oh my these weeks are suddenly going rather quickly, apprently I'm now carrying 5lb of baby - no wonder I feel so heavy. Bedtime is becoming a nightmare everyway I turn is uncomfortable and achy so constantly waking up. I wish I had one of those body pillows but it seems a bit late now I only have approx 5 weeks to go.
Not much else to do now but wait, nursery is pretty much complete, hospital bag is packed and ready to go. Just got to get passed next weekend as i've arranged for my hair to be done (last bit of pampering for a while) and a bit of a party to celebrate my big 30 so baby needs to stay in the belly.

34 weeks & 5 days
Friday yet again and i'm nearly up to 35 weeks with just 5 weeks until my pop day OMG! that gave me a nervous pang as the thought of not knowing when labour will start, where I will be, how it will happen, at what time etc so scary but no way out now - i'm actually going to be a mummy, something I have wanted for so long is actually going to happen.
My belly is so itchy today I guess it's growing even more. People have noticed the difference in a week how much bigger I am - I wouldn't normally like those comments, but luckily I have a very good reason.

34 weeks & 3 days
Lots of kicks and punches today it's actually rather uncomfortable, I wonder what baby is doing in there, it would be nice to have a little window to see into babies world.
I've been told the times the baby is active in the belly means thats the times they will be active outside - omg I will not be getting any sleep at all, baby is always poking me throughout the day.
Other than feeling like something is rumaging through my insides I feel like i'm growing by the day and getting more aches here and there. Plus getting braxton hicks more frequently so I'm not sure what that means.
Anyway another day closer.

34 weeks & 2 days
Packed my hospital bag at the weekend just in case of an early arrival as have been getting twinches and achy hips the last couple of days feels a bit like a belly ache.
Well if anything happens I think I am ready although would like a break from work before becoming a mummy 2 and 1/2 weeks to go and i've got my 30th in between that - it's all go so looking forward to some time to relax and forget everything.
These long working days are hard especially early mornings when you have actually been asleep after feeling uncomfortable most of the night and tolilet trips and then suddenly woken by an alarm.
Bring on the new beginnings.
