My Blog Post About My Lack of Blog Posts!!

So, as I'm sure you are aware by now, I'm pregnant. In fact as I write this, Bumpy is now 5 days overdue.

We've been ready for his arrival since the middle of August (due to me being super organised with everything in my life and also him measuring 2 weeks ahead since week 28 so me stupidly assuming he would run out of space and come early!!)

Since then, it has just been a waiting game. As a first time mum I'm not really sure what I'm waiting for and I think this is part of the problem. People who have 'been there, done that' tell me that I will 'just know' when I'm going into labour. I reply to them saying I imagine I will have a different feeling or discomfort that I've not felt before and will assume that is the start of labour.

I think the other thing that doesn't help is that there isn't an exact process. There isn't a timeline or series of events that happen in a specific order to tick off as you go. Things happen in different orders and at different times for different women. Thanks to mother nature for being super helpful!

I can't settle and concentrate on anything (hence the lack of posts). I'm finding myself literally just sitting and waiting for something to happen.

Now he's 5 days late I feel like we have tried all of the old wives tales to get him out of there; raspberry leaf tea, bouncing on my gym ball, baths, walking, curry etc. etc. I even drank an entire litre of pineapple juice the other day because it was suggested that might help! Anyone with any other ideas, please feel free to let me know!
