I'm now 36 weeks and things are going well...
.

Yup - we bought a new car.
.

Sorry this took so long to get up. Pictures will be forthcoming.
.

Had a midwife appt this morning and discussed a few options around having a vaginal birth and what to do if baby decides not to be head down...
.

Ugh. This morning, for the second time, I tried to go get some early morning groceries with Moira and ended up feeling very unwell.
.

So we were planning on moving Moira into the spare bedroom, which we previously referred to as the "forbidden room", sometime after the baby arrived. However, I think our plans are changing. We've been cleaning out old stuff, readying baby clothes/items and have moved the crib to our room. Now we think we'll try and move her, if she's up for it, this weekend - moving the spare bed to the nursery for a little bit as the baby and crib won't be moved there for months yet.

I'll post again later about how it goes.

In the meantime, there's a *lot* of stuff stored in that room that needs to get packed away and moved into the madness that is the basement :)

Having a few odd cravings with this pregnancy. With Moira it was mostly KD (mac and cheese) and Japanese food.

This time I've found a particular preference for:
Curry - especially a good Mattar Paneer
Sundried tomatoes
Ice cubes
Decaf peppermint mochas (from Starbucks usually)

With Moira I drank decaf tea, with this one it's decaf coffee - for a while I drank a lot of lemonade and then switched to ginger ale for nausea. I've also been consuming lots of milk chocolate. Bagels are my breakfast of choice, with cheese, though Moira tends to demand a portion for herself when she sees me eating one :)

Lately, I've been wanting spicy Thai food too. Something with tofu in it like a vegetarian Tom Yum Soup or Pad Thai. Mmmmm, maybe I should hit Darcy up for some take out this week - especially since our microwave has kicked the bucket and we can't reheat anything easily...

So my appts are coming closer together now as I continue through the 3rd trimester. This time, things were mostly the same - I'm bigger, baby is very mobile, and so on.
.

Yup - so it's a bit late. Our New Year's Eve was pretty low key here. Darcy's mom and friend are visiting and brought gifts from that side of the family. The evening was filled with gift opening, cleaning up, warm mulled cider and quiet conversation.

(Oh, and Nikki? You rock. You rock. You rock, you rock, you rock!)

We headed to Grandma's house on Boxing Day to see my side of the family.
