Mum is 38 weeks today; a check up on Tuesday confirmed all is going well with the pregnancy, and even the blood pressure is well under control - 120/70 - can't get much better than that...
The reason I finally write today is that Mum has been feeling quite uncomfortable today, with a bit of cramping, but a little less pressure under the ribs - which may indicate baby has engaged and we are closer than ever to meeting our little princess! While our OB pretty much offered to induce next Tuesday if we wanted, we decided to hold off - at least for another week - as Carter's inducement was not a pleasant experience.
We have been absolutely blessed that the pregnancy has gone so well; the first eight months absolutely flew by, but this last month is really dragging on. It's certainly been a bit tough for Mum who has had to entertain two active boys who are well and truly ready to head back to school! Not to mention that on the weekend before the hottest week in over twelve months the evaporative cooler failed; despite my best efforts to get every last bit of cooling out of it (which resulted in periodic cooling of 10 minutes at a time after I was literally forcing the fan from on top of the roof!) the cooler motor finally ceased on the eve of a very uncomfortably hot night! A bit of charm with the ladies at Climate Master and we had big Dave the head technician arrive two days after my initial service request - not bad at all! $700 for a new motor (on top of $1100 for a failed rainwater tank switch three days earlier) is certainly very, very bad timing.
Mum is enjoying her time off work, and I have one more day to go before taking six weeks off. Can't wait...
PS- we just got the blog printed into a bound book for 2014-2015. The price must have gone up from when we got 2013 done.. it was $131, even with a 10 per cent discount!
