I made it! Today I am 40 weeks pregnant and have reached my due date according to our first ultrasound (remember our due date based on my LMP is actually tomorrow 28th October 2010). However, I am still pregnant, Addison has not arrived yet so therefore the wait continues! So far I’ve had two phone [...]

Well we made it to Friday, which is the date that we needed to make sure that Addison wasn’t born before, due to our private health insurance cover. This basically means that whenever our little boy is ready he can make an appearance and we will not be out of pocket thousands of dollars! We [...]

Not much can beat the feeling of knowing I’ve come this far and there is only 1 week to go (there abouts). Plus not forgetting that our private health insurance kicks in on Friday, so only have to make it through today and tomorrow without having a baby! Everyone is probably sick of hearing me [...]

Off to our weekly appointment and check up with our obstetrician this morning. We are 38 1/2 weeks pregnant and everything is smooth sailing. Fundal height measurement was 37 to 38cms, exactly as it should be! And my blood pressure was normal at 115/70, which is great news. The count down now begins for us [...]

Today I have reached 38 weeks of my pregnancy and am getting more and more excited about the arrival of our baby boy! Not long now with only two weeks to go, I can’t wait. I’ve been feeling quite tired recently and have been doing my best to get as much sleep as I can [...]

Today we had our appointment with the obstetrician to check on my and Addison’s progress. Everything is going very well with the pregnancy. My blood pressure was 120/70, which is great – he did take it twice however as it was a little higher than normal when I arrived but had gone down after I [...]

Today I am 37 weeks pregnant which is just incredible! My head is spinning with excitement as my pregnancy has now reached full term and I can expect the arrival of our baby boy any time now. I can’t contain my excitement that soon I will get to meet Addison. I am now looking very, very [...]

After having my 36 week blood tests on Thursday it was time to see our obstetrician today for the results and this weeks check up. We will be seeing him every week now up until our little boy is born. Not long to go now! Good news, the blood test results were perfect and the [...]

Today I am 36 weeks pregnant and am totally excited to be entering the last month of pregnancy and the third trimester. It was a bit of a rough start to the week with my lower legs, ankles and feet swelling up like balloons. They were quite painful too and a little worrying. I did everything [...]

It won’t be long now and we can start counting down the days to our baby’s arrival. Today we have one month to go until Addison’s original due date of 28th October 2010! It sure is about to feel very real as we enter October in a couple of days. We are both looking forward to [...]
