So 39weeks tomorrow and I have already started having prelabour stuff. I know this means nothing women can have a whole week of this teasing and nothing!
Today is thursday so starting Tuesday afternoon omg my hormones went into over drive: all I wanted to do was crawl out of my own skin. I was so angry at everything. I honestly just wanted to punch the living daylights out of someone and for absolutely no reason. Poor B copped it. Once I realised what I was doing I just sat quietly and tried to not pop from sheer rage.
This continued through yesterday. One of the mums in my 2011sept mums group mentioned this is normal as it's the surge of hormones u get the week or so leading up to labour. Sure enough I went back through my blog and 4days before i had Tyler I posted Grouchy Grouchy Grouchy and my feelings were pretty much identical.
This brings me to today. I woke up feeling a bit off. Tyler had his last swimming lesson so off we went to that. I started feeling really crampy in the tummy and back on the way there. It started to intensify and he felt like he was trying to push out the wrong hole while there. It was going in waves but I just assumed I needed to go to the bathroom and had an upset tummy. I got home and tried to empty my bowel but couldn't. :(
These waves of pain continued for around 4 hours or so but have now eased off :( i still have period type cramps and lower back aches but it seems it is staying put for now.
In saying that though sitting here now i am feeling some intense pains again. Please let him come sooner rather than later a week of this prelabour stuff especially with a 14month old always wanting attention will do my head in!

Belly shot comparison
Doesn't appear I have expanded at all, perhaps maybe even shrunk? Definitely doesn't look like he has dropped! Poo!
38+2
12 days to go!
Pretty boring and uneventful here. Simply just waiting for bubba boy to arrive. Everything is ready to go.
Extremely tired and just generally off but B had been stepping in and taking up the slack with Tyler which has really been helping and it's also giving him more confidence to be able to take care of him while I am in hospital.
The house is a bit messy, I am trying to keep on top of it but it's just not happening. A 14month old cyclone is hard to keep up with!
My sister and her little man arrive Tuesday week. Really looking forward to that. Be nice for the boys to spend some time together and also means she will be here to take Tyler when I am in labour. One big stress off my mind!
Bump wise it hasn't gotten any bigger at all. Bubs has certainly dropped. I had a really intense sharp pain this morning I really thought my waters were about to break :( they didn't!
Hopefully my next entry will be introducing bub. Lol some how I doubt it!

Full term!!! Yay!
Things haven't really improved much in terms of well being. I'm still really exhausted, headaches are really bad. Muscles are just aching all over, sciatica is playing up etc. Insomnia is in full swing, I think I am lucky if I get 2 hours solid sleep a night. A new thing is extreme heart burn. It was easing off and I had only needed to take 1x150mg once a day. The last
2 days I'm in extreme pain. It never goes away even after a tablet. It was never this bad with Tyler. I have started taking my morning one in hope it helps.
Maybe bub is going through a growth spurt? I really didn't think there was much more for him to grow. He has been super super active of late but is really quiet today only the odd movement here and there so a growth spurt seems likely.
His hiccups are driving me bonkers. He has then 4 maybe 5 times a day. I know it's really good for lung development but because he is so big they can actually get painful, especially when he gets annoyed in the end and gives me a mighty kick.
Only 20days to go and honestly if I am going to feel like this the whole time it's going to be a very long 20days. I have started the iron tablets again so hopefully that helps but it's too the point where if I don't sit down i know I will fall down.
Started packing my hospital bag today. Lol better later than never. I very much doubt the little man will arrive early but seeing as B certainly wouldn't be able to pack a bag for me I thought i should get it done. Best part has been packing the clothes for bub. :)
My body has decided to suck in a heap of fluid of late. I have notice my feet and legs are slightly puffy and my face certainly is. I have put on 2kg in the last week!!! I know it will come off in the couple of weeks after bub is born but still seeing those numbers jump up so much is never enjoyable! Even though dr A said it's unlikely for my BP to jump now the fluid retention and increase in weight is something to keep in mind and i am going to monitor my BP just to make sure the hypertension isn't becoming an issue.
On the Tyler front he has been really good lately. It still amazes me how much they change in such a small period of time.
Well enough procrastinating I really should get back to the house work and finish packing this bag. Damn heat today is making it very hard!! Please let it storm or at least rain.

Bad day!
Having one of those absolute shockers today. I am so tired its not funny I just want to lay down on the floor and cry myself to sleep I am so tired. :( doesn't help that Tyler decided to only have a 15min nap today which was in the car on the way back from mums so I haven't even been able go have a nap.
Turned 30 yesterday. Had a lovely morning at the beach with the family and then a relaxing afternoon before heading out to dinner. Was a wonderful day but it's probably the reason I'm so exhausted today.
22 days is far too long right now. In this completely exhausted frame of mind I don't see this baby ever coming.
Ok that's all I got going to sit here staring into space while Tyler plays with his toys. :( yep such a bad mummy!

36weeks
4weeks/29 days to go!
That really isn't very long at all but wow it seems to be dragging!
Lots of bubs are being born at the moment all early! Give me this hope that maybe bubba boy might come early but I doubt it! No more than 2 weeks early but 2 weeks would be nice.
Not much happening, still have headaches, all the pains aren't too bad, they have certainly eased off. I'm starting to think bub has dropped. Or has started to at least. Maybe going up and down? Certainly feels like there is more room to breath but strangely I can't really eat anything at all. I eat about 1/4 of what I normally do and I feel full. Eat any more and I feel ill.
Started the epi-no 2 days ago. Oh what fun that is lol. I have no idea how anyone gives birth without using one of these first!! Up to 8cm already which I figured would be the case 2nd time round. At least it hopefully means no tearing again this time. Certainly made recovery so much easier.
Well my brain is fried mush and I can't think so I am going to leave it there for today!
Belly comparison. Not much difference really!!

So today I am going to post about something different :)
So since B and I moved back in together 4 months ago things are finally started to look up.
At first it was really hard and challenging but in the last couple of months things have really started to change. The change in B is incredible and I really don't know where it's come from. He is really loving, caring and attentive to me. He is working so hard at his business and helping heaps around the house, spending lots of quality time with Tyler. He hasn't touched the drugs or done any gambling. He is really trying so hard to be the husband and dad this family needs.
It's really nice to have our family happy! I don't know if it's because we rarely see my family and it is just us. No outside interferences and negativity. What ever it is it's so nice to have my husband back. I guess he just got a bit lost for a while there but he is back and it's wonderful. We still have things to work on but the change is so incredible. :) he is now the man I thought I married. :)
I have been thinking more and more lately that I am content with my family. That I am done. I can't wait for this little guy to join our family and I really do think that is me done. I picture my family doing things a the boys grow up and I just see the 4 of us. I don't get that urge and longing for a girl that I used to. I don't know maybe this will change in time but for now I am happy :) and wow it feels nice. Its been a very long time since I have felt happy and contented with life :)

35weeks
35days to go!
Warning this post is a really vent as I need to get it out somewhere so if ur not up for listening to a full b*t*h and whinge close the screen now!
So where do I start?
Firstly I am so sick of being sick and tired. The headaches are becoming too much, the nausea and exhaustion are simply pushing me over the edge!
I had so much to do today but I had to sleep when Tyler was down. Unfortunately I didn't really sleep and don't feel any better! :(
My neck and back are so sore :( I'm super uncomfortable and just over it.
Add to this Tyler is cutting his incisors and molars and u have a very grumpy, whingy, screaming, non eating and non sleeping child! Agh! He is super naughty at the moment and when he gets told no or naughty he keeps pushing like it's a game. When I go and pull him away from the naughty thing he is doing he completely cracks it and screams the house down. Seriously child wtf? My head can't handle that decibel of screams right now. This goes on all day at the moment. At the shops he lasts about 10mins before he cracks it there too. I'm not sure if he can sense something is happening or that things are about to change or what but wow I wasn't expecting these tantrums until at least 2!
I have no one to help me out or just give me a break. B is working heaps which is great but it also means he is gone 7-7 most days. My mum isn't interested in spending more than an hour with him. She has her own more important life to attend too. I'm not even going to get started on that because I won't be able go stop.
B and I spoke briefly about the plan while I am on hospital. No one spends any time with Tyler or even knows how to look after him. No idea on routines or food or anything. With only 5 weeks to go I seriously can't be bothered forcing people to give a sH*t when clearly they aren't interested but it does stress me out as I will be in hospital with a new born and worried sick about Tyler.
I am so over carrying this extra weight! I just want to be able to change my diet and start exercising.
As I was driving home today I was thinking about things and I realised I am done. At this point in time I am happy with my 2 boys. I don't want any more kids. This may change is 4-5years but right now I am done. I want to get out there and start enjoying life with my boys.
I want to get this weight off, get fit again and get out there. I know it's because I am heavily pregnant but Most of the time I can't muster the energy to do anything at all let alone take Tyler to the park or the beach or the pool or anything :( I do realise this feeling won't last forever but I do feel like such a bad mum!
I found out a couple of weeks ago not sure if I mentioned it already but they do little nippers about 20mins from me. So excited as I have always wanted to get the kids into it.
On a different note had an appointment with the OB yesterday everything is great. Keeping the appointment fortnightly as it's all routine. Just twiddle our thumbs until bubba boy decides it's time to come!!
Well I need to muster the energy to do something! House looks like a bomb hit it.
