La,de,dum,de,da….. I know I do not do a lot of really personal posts on Depict This! but I just have to get this off my chest. I hope you do not mind. If you do, well, you can always come back later when we are back to normal if you like! The topic is pretty predictable anyway.
It’s all about Baby at the moment.
Baby was due Friday, 20th of May 2011. But Baby has decided that it is too predictable to be born on his/her due date so at the moment we are essentially over baking!
It’s funny because my midwife thought from very early on that we’d never make it to our due date. There were a lot of signs that we wouldn’t! Practise contractions were happening regularly from 24 weeks onwards {I would have five days without them, and then five nights in a row with them}. The baby dropped into my pelvis at 34 weeks which is early for a first time baby. And then of course there’s been all the fluid scares. 
Four incidents ~ three visits to the hospital {one while we were in Perth!! 0 . 0 } to check that everything is alright. My midwife thinks that my hind waters have been leaking. It’s a good thing that it isn’t the main waters, or the baby might have been too early/induced. But the last time was last week and well, it would have been great if it had of been the real deal. At 39 weeks we were so ready for it be!
I think poor Husband and I are getting worse sleep at the moment than we would be if the baby was actually here. The reason for that being that most of the false alarms are occurring in the wee hours of the early morning and lasting for up to three hours or more. Add that to the fact that they are occurring every two or so days and it just equals tiredness. Oh, and healthy dose of “meh”.
Example: Saturday night was another false alarm with fluid leaking, but I didn’t bother to tell my midwife because a). it was much less than the last two times and b). it was 3:00am in the morning. She would only tell me to try and get some sleep. So that’s what I did. Although I had to be in the bath for a few hours before I could get said sleep! Husband kept me company {amazing, darling man that he is} and we had a late night chemistry lesson.

I learnt that chlorine in solid form is salt, and in it’s natural state is gas. I also learnt that rust and tarnish is always caused by oxidisation, and that hydro fluoric acid is so dangerous that if you get any on your hand or something the safety procedure for dealing with that is to chop your arm off….
Mmm. Fun times.
So that is where we are at at the moment. Playing the waiting game. Of course, I am ever so glad that Baby is healthy and happy and really, I would put up with all of this and a thousand times worse to keep it that way. But it does mean that my mind is sort of AWOL; hence the random blog post.
In the mean time, I will go eat a pineapple. I hear that’s supposed to bring on labour!
xox,

P.S. ~ Here’s a random picture of Spongebob Squarepants. Because I can.
