Another appointment with the midwife today and everything bub-wise is fine and dandy. I just wish the rest of me was! Now on anti-biotics to get rid of a UTI and possible ear infection and taking cough medicine to battle my awful cough. Thankfully not Whooping Cough, got tested for that on Monday and got the all clear. Having lots of little naps now to try and get better.
Things have been moving along quickly in getting the house renovated in time for Bunny's arrival. I'm sitting here with the computer on a camp table, sitting in a directors chair in an otherwise very bare lounge room with a concrete floor. New floorboards arrived today and will be installed on Monday. Hopefully we'll be ready to move back in and redecorate by Wednesday.
Bunny's room was painted the other week, and has now been almost completely furnished. Bassinet is nearly done and will be the final touch in the room soon. I've even been hanging and folding all the little baby clothes. Any more has been put on hold until we have finished with the flooring, as both bedrooms have turned into storerooms for the time being! Have to give a big hand to Adam for all his hard work at shifting stuff, ripping up floors, painting and generally being an awesome guy. oxxo
I even installed the baby capsule into the car today after is finally got here from the USA. (Thanks Dad!!)
In other news, we start our Calmbirth classes on Sunday, looking forward to those! Also I had a wonderful surprise baby shower morning tea with my craft girls on Thursday. I was very late to the group and they were worried I wasn't going to show up! I walked into a room decorated with pink and blue balloons and a table full of yummo food and didn't even twig for a few minutes that it was for me!! hehehe. Was spoiled rotten with a big basket full of pressies, including some absolutely divine handmade things. My craft ladies are the bestest ever. :)
Thanks all from Bunny & Me for now, Bunny sends lots of kicks to everyone (in the ribs, in the middle of the night) xooxxo

26 weeks down, 14 to go....
The really exciting thing now is...my belly moves when Bunny kicks!! Yup, you can see my belly wobble and ripple wherever he/she's kicking. Totally awesome. Soon we'll be playing Maltesers Football!
Time for another belly pic to, taken this morning :)
And for a quick look inside the belly...
All seems to be going well & nothing major to report. Off for my GD test tomorrow which hopefully comes back negative. Midwives and scan results say that bubs is growing nicely and on schedule so I'd better get moving on getting the house ready. We still need to paint the house and put floorboards down before bubs arrives, and then there's the birth classes as well as finishing everything up at work! eek!!

He/She'll be a tap dancer!
Wow, I'm feeling kicks like mad right now. If I sit forward, kicks, Lie down, kicks, eat something, kicks. Either this little bubba is going to be a champion footballer, or a tap dancer extraordinaire! Working long hours and not sleeping much probably doesn't help. Working on the Victorian Floods right now which is interesting. Adam has been flying over them constantly too.
I've been having a bit of practice playing mum to 2 very young kittens. These little loves need feeding night and day, and come with me everywhere until they are old enough to fend for themselves, then they'll go up for adoption. I'll miss them but it will be nice to know I've helped them find a good home.
It's certainly helping me get used to sleepless nights too! Maybe it'll be a little easier when I don't have to go to work and can have a nanna nap when bubs is sleeping. Am I kidding myself?
Oh and we had an ultrasound which went great. Report back says that everything is fine and dandy and Bunny is growing well. Phew! Didn't find out the sex, but that leaves it to be a nice surprise when Bunny arrives. Also had a tour of Sunshine hospital and got to see the rooms we hope we don't have to use. It's not as bad as I had imagined, in fact the rooms were nicer than many private hospitals I've seen! So if we end up there, at least it won't be a strange experience. All the midwives are adorable too, and we got to meet some other mums to be going through the homebirth program. All of them surprisingly normal and un-hippy-like. I felt like I totally fit in, and Adam too!!
