Still plodding along..

I'm still here, still pregnant, still plodding along.

I'm only 3 days overdue but it feels like 3 weeks overdue.

My OB has scheduled me to come back in on Wednesday next week and then he will discuss an induction date, so hopefully the little tacker decides to grace us with her presence before then, or else!

40 weeks and 3 days 

The bump still looks so high but it's definitely dropping and the stretchmarks are gathering under my belly like there is a stretchmark convention in town. Oil does crap all, let me tell you that much right now. 

If you are going to get stretchmarks, rubbing oil into your belly twice a day will not defeat them. 

Here is how Cat and I have been passing the time:-

Eating the Alice in Wonderland Surprise at The Pancake Parlor. 

We love us some pancakes, yes, yes we do.

Watching movies, and yes this movie went forever but was good. 

My mind did wander during some parts which makes me wonder how the kids would go with watching it and not getting too bored. 

Walking around Southland and Chadstone for some incidental exercise in the air conditioned comfort.

We walked into T2 and you better believe that the girl behind the counter knew what I wanted. 

She did advise me not to drink it if I wasn't in my third trimester. Sister, believe me, I am beyond that. 

Come one tea, soften my uterus or whatever you are meant to do. Just do something.

Royal Albert 1990's 'Hartington Lane' tea cup and saucer.

Slowly getting through my Royal Albert set and loving them all. 

Watering the garden.

This Just Joey rose bush is back in bloom after being hacked pruned by someone who does not live in our household and took it upon themselves to help us out. 

Drinking boost juice and walking around the shopping center some more, very slowly.

Okay, ignore my face in this photo and just focus on the Alpaca puppet to the left.

We found this puppet in Jasper Junior at Chadstone which is the best toy shop I ever been in.

I will return for this puppet I tell you.  

We also trekked to Baxter to have spicy Indian food with Joey and Emma and before I even started to eat I started to have contractions 20 minutes apart but apparently it was a false labor which is no fun and a let down.

We also went to Seaford beach for a swim with Joey after work that day and he looked at my big belly with fear in his eyes and said "What happens if you blow your waters whilst swimming?!!" 

Yes, he thinks I am a whale with a blowhole. 

This place had the best Butter Chicken, it was amazing. 

Remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram as I will announce the baby being born on one of those before I have time to blog about it!!
