My Exciting News For The Day

Yep it's only 7:30am and I already have exciting news! No it isn't that I am currently studying for uni exams that I have on Monday and Tuesday.

My exciting news is that my body is preparing to nurture our baby...

I have read in one of my pregnancy books that by now our body is beginning to produce Colostrum and that if you squeeze your boobs when in the shower when they are warm you may see some.

Well guess what, I did!!! I was just having a shower and thought I would give it a try, and out of both breasts I got some colostrum! I am so excited maybe I do underestimate my body and myself, maybe, just maybe my body is capable of nourishing our child and producing a healthy, happy baby.

I guess I am still in a way waiting to have this dream, all that I want, cruelly snatched away from me, I realise that my fears are probably irrational, but I can't help but worry that this could all be taken away from me.

Don't get me wrong, these thoughts don't occupy my day, unfortunately numbers, figures and statistics do!

Generally I am positive and happy, but sometimes my self doubt sneaks up on me, but I squash it quickly now.

Onto more exciting news, we have ordered our cot and cradle! I am really happy with our purchases ( HUGE Thankyou to my dearest Mum and stepdad John for buying our babies cot)

They didn't have any of the cradles in stock so we will be collecting the cradle next weekend.

I just love the cot and cradle. Originally we were going to get a bassinette however when we went to the baby shops and were looking, I just love the cradles, they just look so, I don't know, traditional??? Does that make sense? Anyhow I just had to have it and it was a lot cheaper than I was expecting, I cant wait to get it home and set it up.
Cameron has already moved our bedroom around so that the cradle will fit comfortably next to my side of the bed.

We got to bring the change table home with us, which I was happy about, at least I could set something up!

So here is a pic of our change table all set up.

I have got the nappy stacker hanging over a folded up face towel on the change table, as I didn't want to scratch the wood. It looks a bit funny, but oh well.

Last Saturday night, so at 23w 2d when we were at Mums, Mum took a couple of belly pics, in the photos I look so tired and haggered so I will include just the one of my belly.So besides that nothing much exciting is happening, this morning I am going to spend studying for my exams, Cameron is at work, so hopefully he wont work all day, and we will be able to spend some time together this afternoon
