An amusing picture to show how the bump has now completely engulfed my body - although contrary to first impressions it hasn't actually turned my bust neon pink. That was a game, at my baby shower. Aren't my girls hilarious (!).
So here I am - showered, in both senses of the word - and ready to rumble. Mentally, I think I'm as ready as I'll ever be and baby has it's head right down and fully engaged. This sounds extremely promising (the midwife couldn't actually find the head - that wasn't promising - but her senior came and felt it down in my pelvis, phew, the baby has a head), but you can actually be fully engaged for several weeks, so don't pop the champagne just yet.
Anyway, I'm walking as much as my heavy pelvis allows and I'm having a lovely time meeting friends and family and generally being a lady of leisure. Stupidly, I've just upgraded my phone, so am now totally un-contactable for 24 hours while things transfer over. This probably wasn't the brightest idea I've ever had. I mean what happens if I need to get DH tomorrow and he isn't on email.... mmm, didn't actually think about that when I saw my lovely new iPhone 4. Ooops.
Actually, I had my appointment today at the birth centre and a woman was labouring as I was being examined. I couldn't hear her or anything, but the midwife told me, and it made everything rather, er, REAL. Then I saw a woman who had given birth yesterday. She looked pretty good actually, that gave me a bit of confidence. Eeek, you can be ready but you can never be ready, hmm, I suppose that's what adrenaline is for!
