Pregnancy Part II

I am almost 9 months pregnant (36 weeks)- where did the time go and how come this pregnancy went so damned fast! I can still remember the shock i felt when I realised we were expecting a second baby - I was still breastfeeding Scott and he was still so small. Now here we are 4 weeks to D-day and our little girl is already such a part of the family. Today I was sitting in the sun upstairs in the lounge and she started moving about - my whole belly was jostling and bouncing and I felt this lump in my throat that this pregnancy was coming to an end. I am so lucky to be able to enjoy this time and to experience this change in my body - we are not sure if we want a third baby so I am trying to savour every moment of the last weeks just in case this is the last time. I went to the midwife on Mondaya nd Saba is in position, head down and ready for launch! I can't believe it .. 4 more weeks!!
I am also slightly annoyed with myself for not enjoying more - its difficult to take some alone time when you have a one year old running about and discovering all his abilities - actually why am I moaning? That too has been a pleasure - being home with Scott in this special time and being able to just be pregnant! The afternoon naps have been great and I love nothing better than having Scott lean against me while watching another episode of the teletubbies ... his little head resting against my big belly! He would also try to stick his tiny finger in my navel and laugh hahaha not to mention hitting what he must see as a big skin drum! I tried teaching him to kiss his sister but he just tried to bite me... what can I say he is a true boy!

thankfully, Mart and I are more prepared for Saba than we were for Scott with the room painted, the maxi-cosi (very girly) bought and I have washed her first outfit. Thursday we get the cot and move the furniture around so that the room is completely ready - I'll make an album of the before and after when everything is done.
For now though I am going to marvel at my gorgeous stomach and enjoy feeling this new little person moving about. I am going to enjoy our home without worrying about how tidy it is and I am going to give Scott ALL my love and attention while I still can!!
