Six weeks


Give or take. My only complaint is the swelling. My left foot has no ankle, and I had to use lots of soap and dental floss to get my wedding rings off (thanks, mum!). My new sleeping partner is a collection of five pillows, and the baby is moving more than ever, especially when s/he hears Adam.

I feel like I have a million and one things to do before this new person arrives, but I'm taking it all in stride, and we're trying to enjoy the quietness of the next few weeks, looking forward to the change in weather (crisp air means sweaters and tea!!).

On Saturday, I had the opportunity for a day to myself, which I love. After a painless and quick trip to the dentist, I had a good look around the library, managed to score an excellent deal on nursing bras at 65% off, found some peppermint foot soak, bought some some organic cotton leggings for big mamas, and shopped around Sephora. Ah, the simple things!

Thankfully, Paul and I were able to meet up for lunch, where he snapped this photo:

  1. Look'in great! I can't believe that it is still so warm there. Things are really cooling down in Berlin.

    Must say I'm excited for Fall too. I love pulling out the sweaters and scarves!

  2. I love days all to myself. I remember having them once upon a time. Now I take a what I can get. Now even a trip to the grocery store by myself is blissful!!

    You look absolutely radiant and glowy!!

    Just an FYI - Sophia was born at 34wks and 3 days. So can you imagine having your water break in the middle of the night and being like what the?!!

    All the best in these next few weeks! Enjoy your leggings and fall sweaters! It really is the best time of the year!

  3. Amanda- I am soooo looking forward to fall, it's my favourite season. We're supposed to have temps in the mid 20s all week!

    Laura- I forgot Sophia was raring to go early! I really hope mine doesn't come early as I have so much to do still! I intend to enjoy the quiet time as much as possible!
