Baby Activity & A Soothing Bath

Baby was so active last night, I thought she was punching her way out. It was so uncomfortable, it took me nearly an hour to eat my tea. She only started to get excited when we decided to have chips for tea, must be one of her favourites! I can feel her lower down, so I think maybe she might be getting 'in position' ready for August. I didn't think babies got in position till about four weeks prior to birth, but apparantly they can start to get ready from round now. Without knowing anything else, I shall put it down to that, as well as her being an awkward little cuss at times!! Or as HK said this morning - 'A Madam!' He's given her her instructions not to play me up to much today........

Sleep is still a bit hit and miss, but last night wasn't too bad, once I got comfy. I was glad to get into bed last night, I was feeling proper sorry for myself and just wanted to be comfy. I drank a pint of squash once I got out of the bath. Baths are even getting a little tricky. It's been quite a while since I was able to pull the plug out whilst actually sitting in the bath, as normal. But I have discovered that if the bath is fuller rather than shallower, the the buoyoncy helps me get out of the bath itself. But the bath seems a little narrower these days........

I'm starting to gather things for the hospital. I might go out today and find a few more bits. The main thing is something to wear! I don't wear nightwear as such, although I do slob out of an evening in nightwear, nothing is appropriate for Birth or to wear around the hospital. So another trip out today may be on the cards.

I've only got 8 weeks (yesterday) to go. I can't really put things off anymore. I'm slow at doing things now, so when I've got the wind about me, I need to do what I need to do. There isn't too much to do, but the more I look, the more there is to do - isn't that just the way!!

Love the bouyancy in the bath. Wonder if it would work as well for overweight, not pregnant?
