Visiting the new baby!

Got the chance to visit my close friend Ibtissam for once, she is always making her way down to me so it’s about time I visit her for a change!

I told her on the phone on my way to her that tea is just fine and to not feed me as I am trying to watch my weight since I’ve gained so much since turning 8 months pregnant... But as usual she doesn’t listen! 

Got to see her adorable 7 month son Mounir again, Happy baby as usual and also saw her newest addition, Niyah! She’s recently turned six weeks! I feel bad since it took me so long to see her but she is so adorable, Looking like her mummy :’)

I spent the whole day with Ibtissam I also got hands on experience with dealing with a newborn and another baby, I honestly don’t know how she does it since her husband is always away for work she pretty much juggles everything on her own. I assisted her with naptime, Niyah is a very docile, quiet baby where as Mounir is an attention seeker and whenever ibtissam is breastfeeding Niyah or snuggling her he wants the same treatment too. 

Good thing I bought Mounir a bouncer, he highly enjoyed it and even fell asleep still bouncing away as Ibtissam was settling Niyah down.

Hard not to take loads of photos of her babies, they are so adorable and making me so impatient for my own to arrive :’( 

I know I am going to have a hard time not staring at my own baby while he naps, Don’t get how Ibtissam isn’t glued to her own with a camera in their face!

33 weeks!

I’m back onto my mumblr, Thanks to hubby for writing up my last post although the pictures of me look a little rough!

I am pretty much feeling good after my cellulitis fiasco. The skin infection has calmed down and so has the fever. Hubby motivated me to create this blogpost along with some more cheerful pictures of me and baby bump!

I am measuring up quite big for a first time pregnancy, the midwife says i am measuring at roughly 37 weeks. As Hassan briefly mentioned in my last post I do have quite alot of amniotic fluid. And baby is still sitting quite high. (which is getting really uncomfortable)

I have spent the last 3 weeks resting pretty much. And now I am pretty much recovered, I am still resting. Moving about is sooo difficult with this massive bump. I think it’s massive now..baby hasn't even finished growing. 

Although, I should be doing some sort of exercise.

I have been bugging Hassan to go on walks with me but he’s not willing since it’s really cold in England at the moment. 

Constantly getting braxton hicks, and my belly is feeling really tight. I am a little worried of premature labour.

How far along: 33 weeks and 2 days

Bump status: Still very high and massive.

Stretch marks?: Present.

Sleep: Still erratic.

Baby purchases this week: A new bassinet for the bedroom.

Best moment regarding baby this week:  Constant kicking and pushing his hand against my belly

Gender: Boy!

Hows Mummy?: Much better! Feeling really heavy and tight.

Movement: Baby hiccups! Constantly especially at night Food cravings: none Food aversions: Nothing Miss anything?: A good nights sleep (which will be extinct once baby is here) Belly Button In or Out?: Out Rings on or off?: On. What I am looking forward to?: Giving birth! Our baby in veggie/fruit terms: Durian♥

34 weeks, 4 days

The back pain today is almost unbearable. Laying down sucks because he's pushing up on my lungs. But some good news is that after our next appointment on Monday, I'll be 35 weeks, 2 days. Which means weekly appointments will start :). Which is nice because it makes time go by faster. And if this month goes by nearly as fast as last month (which I hope it does), then I gotta get a lot of stuff done very quickly. Because in reality after the 21st, he could come at any time. I know he could still come at any time but on the 21st I'll be 37 weeks, full-term, so who knows. Issac picks his own birthday. I just can't wait to meet him (:

Never have I wanted to leak water uncontrollably and have painful contractions so bad, lol.
