The waiting game...

After 3 weeks on maternity leave, boredom is well & truly setting in. There is only so much cleaning & tidying that you can do to occupy your time before your house is as spotless as it is ever going to be... and let's face it, daytime TV is nothing to shout about.

So at this point I'm 39+2 weeks and even though baby Fleming is not due for another 5 days, mummy & daddy are starting to get a little impatient and just want to meet our little man. I live in hope each day that those first pre-labour signs will start to put in an appearance but as of yet, no such luck!

Ok, so maybe I'm being a little optimistic in thinking that there is any possibility that munchkin is going to arrive early, or even on time for that matter, but I'm sure gonna try and do my bit to help him along. I'm dealing with my aversion to spicy foods, my fridge is full of pineapple and my cupboard is full of raspberry leaf tea. Along with a few other *ahem* suggested methods I am determined to shift him along.... let's hope they work :-)

Daddy Fleming says he's going to be on the edge of his seat at work from here on just waiting for that call saying it's started........

The Nursery

All the clothing and bedding has been prepared for my little man and his room is now all made up and ready for his impending arrival.... fingers crossed this will be in 19 days time :)

36 weeks, the final stretch!

Ok, so there is only 4 weeks until the big day now...   that's a mere 28 days!!!! which makes it sound even closer :) and needless to say my belly is looking rather stretched now as poor baby Fleming has less and less room to move about.

Mummy & daddy took a trip to Calderdale Royal Hospital last week to have a preview of where it's all going to happen. Thankfully there were no women in the birth centre screaming in pain so it wasn't too scary but it did make it feel that little bit more real. Standing in one of the delivery rooms just thinking that in a matter of weeks I'll be in one for the main event. Yikes!!

Maternity leave has now officially kicked in so now I can prepare by getting all my little man's clothing and bedding washed and set up properly in the nursery ready for his arrival.... exciting times.

Here we are at 36 weeks...
