I have woken up feeling very nervous about today... I think the reality of actually having the baby has hit me, before it was kind of like, Im pregnant- take baby home get use to all of that then a bit of a blank spot for labour, now i guess its hit me, I WILL go into labour and it WILL be by monday... I am going inot the hospital today to get a mambrane sweep to try and move things along, I wish Kieran could of come with me but he has to work, same as tomorrow :( but only half a day, I would of loved our last weekend as just us to be the whole weekend but like we talked about, if he wants to take time off to spend with me and Beanie when she gets here, he has to work as much as possible before hand to make sure we can afford it. I couldn't sleep last night, Maybe I was thinking about the next few days in the back of my mind but I had so much energy! I kept waking Kieran up to talk to me, I dont think he was very impressed with that, poor boy I should of let him sleep considering we are in for such a hot day and he will be copping the heat in a shed! I get to lounge about the house with the air con. So as usual i woke up when Kieran got up for work, made a bacon sanga and watched some tv, then went back to bed and had a big sleep in!... Well thats the day so far I'll write how the hospital visit went.

So, Of course, another day without the baby! this makes me 40 weeks and 5 days!  I had bad lower back pain last night and thought that maybe it would be the night that i wake up all excited with the baby coming, But nooo, infact i had the best sleep i have in ages! after dinner i went for a walk, Kieran stayed on the couch being a lazy bum, then when i came home he gave me a massage then we went to bed at about 8 or so! i slept all night woke up for 2 minutes when Kieran said goodbye to go to work then fell back asleep until 9. beautiful :). So yesterday i went out for lunch with Erryn, one of my friends, we went to the bretzle and had chips and gravy, lovely but it was so hot yesterday! i didnt realize until i started walking to town (From mum and dads) so jeans and a long sleeve shirt was a bad idea! but that was about the excitement of yesterday, nothing much else happened, we came home and watched youtube videos for a long time. Today has been very uneventful, mum and dad have the day off so mum has been busy cleaning and dad frolicking about the shed doing god knows what. Josh is getting better, turns out to of been a bad tummy bug. Kieran is finishinging at the shed he has been at all week, so he will hopefully be home soonish, he seems to be happy about finishing there as the shed is a shit box apparently, He has been good a bit exhausted after yesterday in the heat, and getting a nail go into his thumb! nothing a bit of detol and a bandaid can't fix :) Im feeling a bit nervous about tomorrow, going to the hospital for the start of being induced... I wish Kieran could come with me. It's a strange feeling, Im so excited to have her come but i'm so scared aswell! fingers crossed that she comes herself because I decided to do some research on being induced and the main thing i got from it was how much it hurts! but im gonna stay positive, there is a purpose behind the pain.

So that seems to be about everthing happening so far! Keep you posted

Suprise suprise still no baby... Very sick of waiting! Fingers crossed she decides to come today. Being very bored with my days of sitting on the couch doing Tafe and cleaning the house, I decided to go to work yesterday with mum and dad, I had the same conversation with every single customer... "When are you due?"  "Last Saturday"  " Oh thats ok I/My daughter/ My mum/ My friend/ was so many days late and this happened and that happened...blah blah blah! "  Or "oh your late! that means your having a boy!" Hell no I better not be! not with a purple room and hundreds of cute little girl clothes! I think i know everyone in Mount Barker's birth story by now! But i guess it could be worse, everyone is being very helpful and positive I was so scared of all the judgement i would cop for being a young mum but no one has said anything, Not to me anyway :). I decided to go and see the owner of the health shop to see if she had any hippy ways of bringing on labour ( I did say im willing to try anything!) she gave me a massage oil that is for using when you are acctually in labour, and she said it contaions all the oils that you arent suppose to go near earlier in the pregnancy because they can bring labour on... Perfect for me! so Kieran gave my back and tummy a big rub with that last night, ill keep using it and see how we go! As for kieran, he is busy at work and loving it, they decided to have a big seafood cook up for lunch today and everyone was bringing something to cook, Kieran was in charge of yabbies so we went and chucked in the nets last night, Kieran go up at 4.30 so he could go and get them before work only to find them all empty! Poor boy :( Im sure they will forgive him tho! Yesterday morning I met the wildlife carrer at the vets to take my Rupey, We were so upset to see him go, but she told me we can go visit him and she can keep us updated. He will be happier there im sure :) Hmm what else, Josh (My brother) got very sick yesterday and was rushed to the emergency room in Albany hospital with suspected appendicidise, thankfully all results came back with good news and they think it is just a bad flu or viral infection.

Well thats about all for now, I will put the pictures of Rupert up on here as they didnt work last time!

ITS THE 15TH and still no baby! this is getting cruel! I just want her here right now! the size of  my tummy is beyond a joke, I cant sleep at all i have terrible back ache and i want to ride my horses! so that means she has to hurry :) Yesterday we had a good day Kieran had alot of wood to do so him and his friend steven went and did that all day, whicle me and Jazmin went and saw a friend and her new Puppy, we then went to Albany and watched Jackass 3D which was good, ten spent the night at mum and dads, where im staying until this bloody baby makes an appearance! Rupert is going well, he is eating lots and is getting use to all the people being around him, we have been warned my lots of people that once they get bigger the boys normally turn on their owners and can attack, and we thought of the risk of him making the baby sick so we made the very sad decision to give him to a wildlife carrer, so he is going there tonight :( its supprising how attatched you can get to them in a few days! but its for the best. Kieran is back at work for a busy week after having half of last week off due to wet sheep so he is happy to be back working and making lots of money! I had a big clean of the house and we had the boys out for 1 night and the place is a mess again! so tonight we will go home and get it sorted, its not to bad jsut want all the rooms vaccumed.
Well other than that, not alot is going on for us, Hopefully next time i write i will of had miss Beanie!

13th of November... the date we have been counting down to for the last 40 weeks is finally here! and nothing is happening... not a single twinge of a contraction, no waters breaking... This baby is never going to get here! mind you its only 1 pm so maybe, maybe she will suprise us! My last doctors appointment on Thursday went well i guess, she said the way my pelvis is shaped seems to be stopping her from moving down any further, and to go to the hospital in barker on next friday for a check, then Sunday night we will go to Albany hospital to be induced... so Im really hoping it happens naturally for me! but im not holding my breath, we havent been waisting any time with sleeping as Kieran got me a pet joey on Thursday night which need feeds every 4 hours so i guess this is good practice for us! he is very cute, named Rupert (Roo-pet... Pet-roo...Kieran thinks it hillarious) he is a bit of a handfull as he is still a bit scared of us and crys for his mum sometimes, which breaks my heart! we are still waiting to see weather we can cope with the baby and Rupert at the same time, or we will give him to a carer, so its a bit scary to get attatched. We had Beth, Charlotte and Rosie come for a quick visit yesterday afternoon, the girls were very excited to see Rupert and the horses, but they didnt stay for long as they were on their way to Albany for the show which is way more exciting than our boring house! Me and Kieran then went out for dinner at the pub which was lovely, although every single person in there had questions about the baby! I think i will get a shirt made saying NO BABY YET, YES IM EXCITED, YES WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN SHE IS BORN, that should cover the conversation!

Well better get going and feed Rupert, Keep you posted!

Well here we go again! i have forgotten to write for a very long time haha,  but not alot has happened so far in the way of the baby exept my last doctors appointment went down the line of basically WOW this baby has a huge head!... oh your pelvis is very shallow, that might make things a bit difficult... Yepp she is definaltly spine to spine... i think you will be having a cesarian. she wants me to come into labour naturally and see how i go, but everything is against me at the moment! so she will keep an eye out for an un progressive labour. I know i have been saying this for the last few weeks but SURELY i cant get any bigger! there is just no room in there for her anymore! I cant wait for her to come we are very excited to meet her :) Last night we cleaned the house from top to bottom just in case she comes soon, and then came and stayed in town, Kieran has been working lots, although he had last Thursday off to come to my appointment, he is loving work, and he is shearing today which is good, give him something different to do! On saturday we went to Albany to pick out a new lounge suite which we have decided to buy eachother for christmas yay :) hmm what else has been going on... mum and dad are getting very busy in the shop coz of christmas and school orders for next year, Josh got his loan approved to buy his new house so he moves in on the 6th of December. And that seems to be about everything that has been happening worth writing about!
