different these past couple of days. In a good way :)

Kind of like an acceptance has washed over me. I was a bit nervous before, just of labour starting, not of the possible pain. But now I'm very calm, collected and surprisingly still very mobile, walking, bending, chasing my chickens and waiting for eggs to hatch (cute chicklets sometime the end of this week), walking the dog twice a day (although those hills are getting tougher and I'm getting slower). I've even had a couple of nights good sleep, where even though I wake to wee a fair bit, I've slept soundly and not woken with hip pain or cramps (might be something to do with the bananas I am scoffing).

I'm not nesting, but I am getting cleaned up as I'd hate for the MW's to arrive here and the house to be overly dusty or the porch floor to be covered in muddy wellies as it normally is :roll: Poor ladies need to be able to see through the chaos that is our house and not run for the hills :lol: Plus we have a houseguest on Tuesday so another incentive to get organised, much as I would rather leave it :lol:

I've also been sleeping in the day the past few days, which I don't often do. MW said to listen to my body and rest when it needed it as it was often a sign.

I've also stopped flumping round the house trying to get comfy. I seem to be beyond that now. I am just, I don't know the word, but I just am 'it' whatever 'it' is.

I guess I am just ready, and whenever it happens now is fine by me.

:)
 
great news, hope baby arrives soon x
 
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

YAY! Sounds like mini-Sherlock might arrive soon then! I think the calm settling over you is your bodies way of saying 'nearly there now...' lol.

Glad you're sleeping better! I've not been too bad sleep-wise recently - it is just generally the wee thing that gets me up. Lol.


And AWWWWWWW for chicks. They are my favourite little animals ever! I normally go to the local kids farm this time of year so I can cuddle them but i'm not allowed in this year :(

Maybe you can post some pics when they hatch!!
 
I have read a few people saying that they felt "different" in the days leading up to the birth, so maybe your Lo will be here soon.........................lets hope :cheer:
 
That's great news-maybe your Lo will be hear soon! YAY!!! :cheer:

Will you post a picture of the little chicks when they arrive?-I love them too!!! :D :D
 
What a wonderful way to feel, hopefully the birth will be such a lovely calm affair, I think it will be for you :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
 
thats great hun! Im a soooo jealous of your mobility though :lol: bending :shock: walking :shock: chasing chickens :shock:

Lets hope your LO arrives soon while you are feeling serene and ready! :)

Im really happy too, just falling apart at the edges body wise...but my mood is quite unshakeable at the mo :cheer: :cheer:
 
Make the most of the good nights sleep - they won't last once baby is here LOL!
 
Sounds like a really nice place to be in :) i'm jealous i'm just worry worry worry! xx
 
It sounds like your body is gearing up for something and I'm glad you're going with the flow. I'm hoping you get the home birth you want as it seems like just the right place for you to be. Not long now... :cheer:
 
Just looked at your ticker Sherry...Seems like days ago that I saw the happy full term thread for you!2 days until dues date! WOW!

You have always had the best of attitudes towards your pregnancy. I really feel you are gearing up for a beautiful birth experience.
 
Thanks ladies :) :hug:

You know the strange thing is, I almost forget I am due to give birth anytime now. Just the Bump wriggling reminds me from time to time. Its a really strange thing but I'm just not dwelling on it as I thought I would back a while. I am also feeling good and able to be mobile lots still which I think is helping.

I thought I'd be fretting at every twinge and keep wondering when it was going to happen, but nope, I'm just carrying on almost like I'm still a few months away :lol:

Its making for quite a peaceful life :) Going to clean some windows now and then take the dog for a walk round the fields. Might take the camera with me so I can post some pics of it all to share. Looks gorgeous here atm and lots of tiny lambs running round the field right behind the house :)
