2 More Sleeps

Wow I cannot believe we have reached and passed the half way mark, how time fly's!

It is now only 2 more sleeps until my Morphology Scan I guess I am nervously excited and a tad anxious that something may be a miss. However I will try to stay positive unless I am given a real reason not to be.

All in all our weekend away was nice. Racing was a bit of a waste of time as firstly the gear lever snapped so they had to do a mad dash into town to have it re-welded and then rush back to fit it before the first race, and then the gearing was all out so they were underpowered and the bike couldn't get any drive off the line, and then lastly the back tyre was ready to pop! So they ended up calling it a night before the last race.

At least it wasn't bitterly cold like last time.

Still it was lovely to get away and spend some time with family, especially Cooper he is just precious. All weekend when he would give me a kiss he would give me two and say one for the 'baaaby' was just so cute.
Mum tricked him into giving her 2 kisses by saying and one for the baby, after he did he said "you silly Nana, you don't have a baaaby'

Every time I see Cooper it doesn't matter what may be happening in my world, he never fails to bring a smile to my face and make my heart melt, I can't imagine how I will feel with my own, to think that I will feel stronger love in a different way for our own child just blows me away, I think also because I was there when Cooper was born and have been there a lot ever since he is just so precious to me.

So here is a couple Cooper pics, just because.
These were taken at the motel.

And here are a couple belly pics. I forgot to take one at 20w so here is one at 20w 1d on Friday morning before we left. Ignore the goofy expression.

And this one was taken Friday night in our motel room.These pyjamas hold a great deal of significance to me. My SIL brought them for me when I was pregnant with our angel baby, they have a lovely roll down waist and are ideal pregnancy pyjama pants. By the time she gave them to me at Christmas time I was no longer pregnant and I didn't want to wear them until I was again pregnant with a baby belly. So I popped them away in my pyjama draw and each time I opened the draw to get something out I would gaze at them and dream of the day I could wear them, I have tears welling in my eyes now thinking about it. To see that photo of me in those pants just makes me so happy, my dream is coming true I am going to be a Mum. Ok I will stop being dramatic now!

People comment to me that I have quite a big belly for the stage of my pregnancy, but do you know what I really don't care, I love my bump and I love it when people look at me and smile or pass a nice comment on my bump, I am proud of it and I am never alone because I am very blessed to be carrying our baby and I hope I am not seperated from our baby for many, many years to come.

We had a couple of special moments on the weekend. On Friday night we were laying in bed and Cameron had his head resting on my belly, listening to the going's on in my belly. I felt a big movement, but didn't say anything as I was unsure of if Cameron had felt it or not. Cameron then said to me 'honey I think I just got booted in the earhole' I burst out laughing it was so funny and special that Cameron could feel it also.

Bubs was a little quiet yesterday, I wasn't very concerned as I know they have lazy days just like us. So again last night Cameron was laying with his head resting on my belly and I felt a really strong kick, so strong it made me go 'Oh'. I don't know if it was so strong because Cameron had pressure on my belly or if bubs is just getting a lot stronger. Cameron also felt it. I just love this time it is so special, I intend on relishing this time as much as I can as I know it is going to pass very quickly, and before we know it we will be nursing our precious bundle. I cannot wait I hope time continues to pass quickly.

So in 2 more sleeps time we get to see our baby again! I bet s/he has grown a lot!

Up until now I haven't had any feelings as to whether there is a baby girl or boy growing inside of me. However the past few days I have begun to feel that we may be having a boy, it is going to be SOOO tempting to find out on Wednesday but I will try to be strong, I really do want that surprise. At least if it is a boy we have a name decided on...... for the time being!
