The countdown is on

Well I am now officially out of the 30's (28 days to go) and it's all starting to seem real.

I am now 36 weeks and my weighin this morning (haven't reported it in a while as it was starting to climb) is 96.9kg. That means a 16.9kg gain in 36 weeks or roughly a 470g a week. Can't argue with that although there is still 4 weeks to go.

Picked up another bargain on Ebay yesterday. I really wanted a motorised swing for bubs as Bethany had terrible colic in the first 12 weeks and constantly wanted to be held and rocked. I had a brand new basic one on layby for $115 but really thought it was a bit much as all it did was rock and had some toys hanging down.

Well yesterday I won this one.



It has 8 speeds, music, lights, toys the baby can pull on to make the music go off itself and I got it for $41. BARGIN!!!!! I have seen this one in the shops for $175 brand new, $95 in our local 2nd hand paper and one sold on Ebay last week for $96. Was quite happy with myself. Picked it up this arvo and tried it out when I got home, but of course had to have one of Bethany's bubbys (dolls) in it. She loved it and when I turned it off she kept sitting there rocking her doll.

Now I just need a chest of drawers to put all bubs clothes in. But have that sorted too. Am getting a white 5 drawer chest for $50 on Friday from Pete's parents who have one that they don't need anymore. So come Friday night, should finally have baby's room ready for use. As long as I get my butt into gear and finish hemming the curtains.

Finally got Bethany's first dance costume on Saturday (it is 6 weeks to her end of year concert). They are running a bit behind this year as by this time last year I had them all done. So I got home Saturday afternoon and had it finished by lunchtime Sunday. It just needs to be sequined (mum's job, I can't handsew). Apparently her other costume is even easier so I hope I get it this week. I want everything done and ready for her incase I go early or am too uncomfortable in 2 weeks to do anything else. (What am I talking about, I'm too uncomfortable now to do anything! LOL)

Well am off to have a nice hot shower now (with my ear stuffed with cottonwool, still not healed properly) and then start some dinner. Just steak and salad tonight, an easy meal that doesn't take too much effort.

Hope all is well with everyone and hope that I get some sleep tonight. Was up till 2am this morning.
