This last week has been a bit of a struggle. The bum steer "you'll definitely deliver early" from my doctor was clearly a royal bum steer and resulted in a very frustrating week of symptom watching which alas, has lead to sweet FA in that department, obviously.
I've never been much good at waiting for things. I find it a tortuous process. Which is surprising really considering I've had SO much practice waiting for my eternally late, but oh so wonderful (ahem), husband who FYI takes the longest showers in the world. Does yours do that? God it annoys me. I thought us women were supposed to take longer to get ready. Not in this household. No siree. I think it's something about men and bathrooms. Toilets, even. Something primal. Like they need to make their mark. Where the 'action' happens. Whatevs. Just hurry up!
I digress. My point being, there's not much to do in this last little bit of pregnancy, but wait, which is tough and exciting all at the same time.
All I want to do is meet my little baby and the anticipation is killing me! Bags are packed. Pram, car seat, hardware is prepped. Nursery is good to go (I'll show you shortly). Phil is answering every phone call on the first ring (you don't know how rare that is). We're just well and truly ready.
I'm still to buy the grandma black undies that my friend very wisely suggested I buy in bulk. That's on my to-do list for today.
And FYI the clacksickles have been a hilarious topic of conversation for my girlfriends and I here over the weekend. If you don't know what I mean, have a read here. Fun-ny.
But now, all there is to do, 4 days before my official due date....
....is wait.
Tick, tock.

Sooooo so so exciting! Time must be going so slowly for you at the moment. I'm a shocker when it comes to waiting as well, especially when I'm waiting for something exciting, so I can only imagine how you must feel! Can't wait to hear some exciting news oh so soon! xxx
PS My boyfriend takes for-ev-er in the shower too. Annoying!
I'm feeling your pain - and impatience.
The universe is waiting for you to get those grundies - God knows you'll need 'em!!
:-)
Yep - Hubby hides out in the loo/bathroom here too. Is it a 'cave' thing??
SOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!! I keep checking my phone in anticipation!!! Thinking of you tons my special friend. Speak later tonight if poss?? xx

EEEK! Good luck mama, I'm a new follower but loving the read so far. all the best for bubs arrival :)
Oh you look so ready Bridget!! Come on out baby!! Have you been told if you're going to be on time (nice old cervix question) as my first didn't want to come out. I was so keen to met her & become a mum, 41+ weeks, tick tock & finally i became a mummy. Patience, you learn it, you have to, you can't rush a baby - best lesson i ever learnt, even with a teenager, i don't rush her (plenty of warnings) as it can all go pear shaped. Plan, organise, patience, you'll be on fire!! Love Posie
You look so wonderful, and I have to admit that it has been quite a while since I popped by your blog, but i am glad I have returned.
Looking at your pic I think you will probably go to your due date and past it a way - bump is still looking pretty high to me - you should notice a big downward shift in the position of your bump when baby drops right down and is ready to 'pop' as it were, so I would take it easy, relax, enjoy the last few days of having baby peaceful on the inside because your world is about to change beyond all recognition - its a fantastically good change, but it is a real change, so a little extra you time beforehand is a wonderful thing!
Wishing you all the very best
Lou :-)

WOW! YOU ARE SO CLOSE!
This is so very exciting!
I laughed out loud when you said husband was picking up on the first ring. I too, have a bigger relationship with my hsband's voicemail, but during the 39th week, he would literally run out of ANY meeting on the first ring :)
So excited for you!
And so much love xox
Hello, just on a clicking spree and landed over here. The waiting is the WORST! (You look terrific, if that's any consolation.) Best of luck for your labour. So much love just around the corner. Kellie xx
He has to come out eventually! The minute I realised that and stopped waiting my waters broke. Enjoy every last minute. Fingers crossed he gets here soon x
