Day Two Hundred and Thirty Four

Another achievement today after months of waiting, finally we have a bed. If only I could sleep, I'd be a bit more excited! Now we just need some lamps and pictures to match..  Guess we'll have to go shopping!

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Three

After about a month of nagging Trevor to put the capsule in the car, my Dad finally put it in for me!! It was the last thing that needed doing before the baby's arrival. I think Trevor was secretly avoiding it because he isn't ready, not for the baby, but for the birth! Hopefully now that we are all ready it will spur this baby into action! Thanks Dad! xx

Day Two Hundred and Thirty Two

I thought I wouldn't subject Bella to any more Chicken Pox pictures. 

This pretty much sums up our day today. They have now spread to her legs, face and scalp. She is very miserable, and it's no wonder when she didn't get to sleep until 4am! I hope the Claratyne and Phenergan I bought today helps, and fingers are still crossed that Jada stays pox free!

Day Two Hundred and Thirty One

My beautiful sister ready to go out for our cousin Glenn's birthday. 

Wishing I could go with her instead of staying at home with sick kids and big bellies, but I guess staying home and watching Mrs. Doubtfire with a big bowl of popcorn isn't all that bad!

Day Two Hundred and Thirty

My poor Bella came home from school covered in Chicken Pox. Even though she has been immunised, it has taken a pretty strong hold over her body already. Her whole upper torso including neck and scalp are covered in the angry blistery spots. She is being very brave and showing a lot of self control with trying not to scratch. I just hope the symptoms will ease quickly for her, and that Jada manages to avoid getting it. Not a great start to our weekend.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Nine

Baby bump at 37 weeks. Now measuring at 40 odd weeks, and not a stretch mark in sight. Not long to go now, "you can't stay pregnant forever" has become my new mantra. At this stage all the lovely symptoms have taken full affect; heart burn, itchiness, insomnia, back and pelvic pain.

Jada has been talking to her and trying to coax her out. She tells her how much she wants to meet her, and she also kisses her goodnight everynight. Bella is convinced that she will be just like her. Trevor is nervous about the birth, and I ... just can't wait to hold her in my arms.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Eight

Jada refuses to be defeated by her pre-school boredom and continues to invent games that Mum can play from the comfort of the lounge! Yesterday it was Snakes and Ladders, today it was a cafe/nail bar on the coffee table. She made me a nice cup of tea and painted my nails and toe nails while I relaxed. I think she might be onto something with this business idea! She did such a good job pampering me that I fell asleep! She then took herself downstairs where she made her second get well card for Nana, Bless her!
