Its been a while but I have been on Holidays :) I got back yesterday from visiting DH's home town.  The trip down was fine, but the trip home was hard.  15hours in the car is a long time.  I was so completely out of it last night, I felt like the walking dead.  After a great nights sleep though feeling much better :)

The week visiting his family was great.  We don't get to see them very often, usually once a year when we head down there.  It will probably be twice a year this year though :)

We went down for our Godson's Christening.  It was so fantastic to spend time with the kids.  They are hard work and need attention 100% of the time but its so worth it.  It just made me even more excited to meet peanut.  I seriously can't wait until September.  The kids are nearly 2 and 4 so great ages. So much fun. Although definitely get grumpy at times. Its a crazy week though, DH is one of 8 kids so its always go go go. This time we did get a bit of a chance to relax though.

We will probably be heading back there in Nov/Dec ish to get the baby baptised. His family are the religious one so it makes more sense to have the ceremony down there.

Baby wise peanut is being REALLY active these days.  Feels great though. Getting real big kicks now and constant. My belly button isn't far from popping, its almost completely flat.  For some reason I hadn't given any thought to this at all.  I still have my belly button ring in, still deciding if I should buy a pregnancy ring or just take it out. I wouldn't be able to get it re-pierced though as I have already had it done once before.  Too much scar tissue building up. I just feel completely naked without it as I have had it since I was 16.

It was so weird to think yesterday on the way home that the next time I see all of them we will have a little baby.  So exciting.  I have 3 very flat out months coming, non stop at work, company wrap up and roll over, conferences, training courses, manager on leave for 4 weeks, so its all going to go by in a flash. August will be here before I know it.

Two more days holiday left before I go back to work, going to make the most of it and relax.  Will probably try and sit down and do a list of baby stuff I still need. Which is most of it lol.  For someone normally so organsied I have been so slack.  Not sure why really.

I have my OB appointment tomorrow, going to try and get a better shot of bubs seeing as the last tech was so crap.  Will find out about the back issues and placenta issues too.

Well probably should go do something :) Will post a belly pic later.
