We have been really relaxing to be honest, we have a mancave at the back of the house so Ant often goes in there and plays on his game and I watch tv or doing stuff around the house and then we meet up for food or chill together!
It’s actually been pretty lovely I won’t lie.
Oh we do spend a lot of time in the garden actually. The weather has been amazing and we love our garden. Ant especially loves it and takes a lot of pride in his now sprouting flowers.
Mum sent me an app where you take a pic of the flower and it tells you what it is. So I did this with Ant and he loved it! We are getting old... I have been spending most of my time bouncing on the ball in the sunshine. Trying not to burn.. which I haven’t mum!
Anyway I wrote like 3 different lists on what we needed to buy, do or change around the house. And yesterday we managed to tick the last thing off (carpets don’t count cos we can’t control when they’ll do it for us!). So we painting the decking which was the last job.. we did actually do this ages ago but ran out with 2 slabs to go and with the delivery times it’s taken over a month for us to get more.
So we can officially say that we are ready for baby to arrive now.. well in terms of materialistic stuff anyway. Ant keeps saying she can stay in my belly for a couple more weeks to which I massively protest!
On the note or pregnancy.. which is pretty much all I talk about soz!
I’ve been harvesting colostrum in the lead up to giving birth. This is where you hand express the colostrum out of your boobies. My mum hasn’t heard of this! I think that it used to only be advised for ladies with diabetes but now it’s pretty much promoted or just spoken about to everyone. A
This is referred to as ‘liquid gold’ because of all the nutrients and antibodies it has in it before your milk comes in.
So you can express this and freeze it for when baby is here. This also means you can feed them straight away if you have any issues with breastfeeding.
So I’ve filled my 5 syringes (1 has since been added to the packet) and I’m ready to take to the hospital with me. Sorry if this is gross but it’d be nice to look back on for me.
I thought it was going to be really hard but actually it was easy and I filled 2 syringes in my first sitting. Oh how proud I am haha.
I made banana and chocolate bread the other day and it was delicious! I’m really really not a baker... I’d much prefer to make a curry or a dinner dish. But I must say this turned out pretty well.
It looked burnt on top but it was just crispy and yummy. I added waaaaay too much cream *oops*
I have such a sweet tooth in this pregnancy. I really can’t stop with the sugar!
So I’ve also been watching TikToks a lot which I didn’t download for ages cos I thought it was too young for me.. but as I’ve not got much to do I thought I’d give it a go and it’s brilliant. It’s just people doing really silly videos or lil syncing to music and dancing etc. It’s just a good laugh and because we’re all in lockdown people are getting their families to do videos and it just so funny. People have such a great sense of humour.
Including my mum and Andy who got involved and did one of the popular dances:
There was also a dressing gown rope hair trick on there which I tried:
So that worked well! So easy and once I’d sorted out the front and sort of styled it, it looks really nice and like you’ve made loads of effort which I do didnt!
So that’s me caught up on life to be honest.
Antony and I are just waiting on a baby! I really hope it’s not too long now...
