... I now feel well and truly ready for the baby to be here - and I've been telling it as much, describing the house and all the lovely baby things we have in it. To no avail. Raspberry leaf going down OK, had a clary sage bath today (lots of baby movement after that, but nothing else), curry, pineapple etc still to be foisted on my body...
Went down to Brownies last night, rounders outdoors - they're so clueless in a cute

way! One asked me why I was having trouble standing up (I'd been a seated spectator) and I explained it was the size of my belly. Queue the next question, why is your belly so big - sweet, didn't realise it was because there was a baby in there!
I still can't believe how relatively narrow I look from a front on view... this pic from last week (38 + 3).



Mum and I have been making fitted sheets too for the crib (well, I found the pattern, she's been sewing them) they've come out so well, I'm very impressed! And it'll make life so much easier making up the bed!
And the garden is looking great too - DH is well on track for little one's first solids to be home grown :)

And finally (this has been a long one!) latest bump pic 39 weeks...
