Or so im told! No seriously, i am pretty enormous these days, my pelvis is really struggling under the weight of it all. Baby Tyler is very boisterous lately, i swear im bruised inside!

Went to my antenatal appointment yesterday after having my bump painted by Sarah! The clinic starts at 2pm and its first come first served, and when i got there, there were 6 people already waiting! And the midwife hadnt even showed up yet! So i was panicking about getting Leah from school, i rang Pete who was working in Leighton Buzzard! Luckily Aimee's mum Jane said she would grab Leah for me.

Anyway the midwife eventually showed, and the doctor said he would see us as well, lucky me, i got the doctor (groan) He is so un-thorough (if thats a word). He was more worried about smudging the paint on my bump than feeling the baby or listening to the heartbeat. In fact i know the heartbeat we heard was mine and not Tyler's! He didnt even measure me! Luckily Tyler is very active at the moment, or i would have been worried!

My blood tests came back fine, he said my iron levels are really good (must be all the kitkats!) so he has no idea why i keep feeling faint. Marvellous!

8 weeks to go now, and i must say im a bit fed up! On the one hand this is my last pregnancy ever so im trying to enjoy it, but it isnt easy! It might be easier once i dont have the school runs to do but i just want Tyler out now! Having said that, we are still not ready! So he will have to cook a bit longer!

Am feeling very weepy and emotional today - a big change is coming and its making me nervous!

So Im 30 weeks pregnant now! Three-quarters of the way there! Which has led me to panic slightly that we arent ready for Tyler yet, so have made a list of things we still need:

Blankets

Pram/Carseat

Bottles

Dummies

Nappies

Milk

Bouncy chair

Bath toiletries

A smaller car seat for Ella

My toiletries to take to hospital

A couple of new pairs of jim-jams for me!

Seems like quite a lot when you look at it like that doesnt it? And with 9 and a half weeks till my due date and 8 and a half weeks till the c-section, it doesnt really leave us a lot of time. Im sure we will get there, we always do, but im still panicking!

First of all, we have decided to call the baby Tyler! He doesnt have a middle name yet, but i will slip James in when registering him if we havent thought of one by then hee hee!

I have noticed that Tyler has a daily routine already! It is as follows:

6.45am - 7.30am - hiccups!! Varying in strength, but usually milder than what im used to from the girls!

7.30am - 10am - playtime, ie kick mum as hard as he can and see if he can throw me off balance while doing the school run!

10am - 1pm - quiet time, although i can wake him up if i relax and poke him a bit.

1pm - 4pm - fidgety time again. Tyler seems to hate travelling and protests violently when im on the bus or in a car!

4pm - 7pm  - quiet time, which im grateful for as im most busy at this time of day, with dinner, bath and bedtime.

7pm - 10pm - playtime again. As im having a bath he does gymnastics and while im watching TV he gets excitable. But around 10pm i can feel him getting ready for sleep again.

10pm - 2am - sleep time thank god!

2am - 4am - party time! Much to my dismay, he seems to enjoy a bit of disco dancing at this time. Im as yet unable to calm him!

4am - 6.45am - sleep time again thank god!

And then he starts again with the hiccups!

So im guessing i need to do a few tweaks when Tyler is here, but at least there is some sort of pattern, unlike his sisters!

I cant believe how quickly this pregnancy is going! In one respect i am pleased because i cant wait to have my son safe and sound. However, we are totally not ready for him yet, and although i moan about it, being pregnant is quite nice really. Its nice to have a secret special bond just me and him, especially as im droppin off to sleep, i can feel him getting comfy too. I also quite like the attention my bump brings (mostly) and i also enjoy not worrying about how fat i look! So im going to make the most of the next 12 and a half weeks!

Having said that, i am super exhausted all the time, and my pelvis feels as though it is cracking under the pressure. I cant walk very far and get quite out of breath. Im also not feeling very much like myself, im moody one minute, happy the next, bawling my eyes out the next, i cant keep up, so i dont know how anyone else is supposed to!

Name-wise, baby is likely to be called Tyler (i know, make up your bloody mind!) I like it, and so does Leah, Ella would be happy whatever we called him, i suggested Ernie to her, and she was so thrilled, talking to her brother Ernie! (i was joking on the Ernie front, i once had a turtle called Ernie, i just wanted to see if she would say yes to anything!) Its Pete thats not 100% on Tyler, but i think he will come round.

I think baby is head down, i will hopefully find out on wednesday, i have blood tests then as well (ick). Leah thinks she is psychic, and the other day baby was hurting me, so i asked him to stop kicking. She told me he wasnt kicking, he was headbutting me, and when i thought about it, she was probably right! She felt the baby kicking for the first time the other night, i think it shocked her how strong he is! She went all giggly!

Anyhoo, that about all i can think of for now!
