still pregnant

ok so i know im only 2 days over due but im so fed up and uncomfortable. ive got the midwife tomorrow so hopefully that will help.

anyway lets hope the next time i blog it will be to say how lovely our new arrival is!

due date

ok so today is the 'big day' its my due date today.

i know the chances of him coming today are so slim but the fact that i have reached it safe and well is good.

the end really is in sight now.

i cant wait to meet him and spend the rest of my life watching him grow.

being a mum to jorja is a real pleasure and delight. i love her so much.

i cant believe we are going to have a boy this time! one of each, its going to be amazing.

but for now i am going to enjoy my last few hours/days of pregnancy and eat a zillion pancakes!!!

sunny days

these last few days have been gorgeous weather. we have really made the most of it.

i love the freshness of spring, giving the home a good clean, fresh air, sunny walks. fantastic.

we have just come back from a really lovely walk with my mum, dad, sister and dog meg.

it was lovely playing on the beach, walking sitting in the sun and then having hot chocolate and chips in the cafe on the beach.

i feel so refreshed and content. nothing like a good walk to clear your head.

jorja loved it and seeing her have so much fun from something as simple as being out in the sun with her ball and my family.

i am very happy, the smiths are in a good place and things are getting better daily. each day is better than the last. its excellent.

soon noah will be here to join in the fun.

perfect.

contractions

ok, so today is tuesday the 17th of feb and i have been having contractions on and off since the 13th. i'm tired and ready to meet our son now. i know he will come when he is good and ready. im just impatient!

the whole house had a major clean yesterday, i mean windows and everything! i was at it for 3 hrs just couldn't stop! i did look a sight! especially scrubbing the kitchen floor!

well i have 7 days till he is due so lets just wait and see.

13 days

ok so the count down is really on now and i am hoping and praying that noah arrives early.

i cant wait to give him a cuddle and watch him grow.

reflections

i cant believe that im nearly done being pregnant for the second time in 3 years! where has that time gone?

im sitting here on the sofa watching my gorgeous girl sitting at the table with her daddy eating her dinner like a 'big girl'.

it seems so hard to believe that just over 2 years ago i was at the end of my pregnancy and awaiting her arrival like i am with noah.

jorja is an amazing girl (bias i know). i am so proud that she is my daughter. she is something that me and james have made and to be honest being a parent is the best thing ive done.

the love i have for her is so strong. 

she is doing new things each day, it is such a joy to watch and be part of it.

i have 15 days to go till my due date and i cant wait to meet noah and give him a cuddle and watch him grow.

i got married over 3 years ago to james and in that time so many fantastic things have happened. 

i know how blessed i am to have james as my husband. he really is great. he brings me happiness even if he does sound like a warthog when he snores!!!!

i feel safe and secure in who i am.

i have everything i need and more. 

so here is to another 50+ years being married to the man of my dreams watching our children grow.

 

20 days

ok so i have only 20 days to go and i cant wait to be on the other side and just get on with being a mum. jorja has been brilliant but i miss the nice cuddles and carries. my belly is just too big to support her. that and the "trapped at home feeling". it is agony to walk to far and way too painful to drive. i am always such an active person and me and jorja are hardly home. always meeting up with people and playing out and just fun things like that.

i find it hard asking for help and i am having to do it a lot at the moment. my family and friends are really great and supportive so that helps, just cant help but feel like a burden.

still not long and it will all be back to normal and i can enjoy the future with my 2 precious children and amazing husband.

sounds good to me!
