Apparent Size is all about Posture

People have commented that my bump looks quite small altho it certainly doesn't feel it!! I've decided that it's all down to posture and abs - yay for the transverse abdominal muscle! :) Thanks to Nic, our chiro, for keeping my spine in check throughout the pregnancy. Thanks also to Briony, my pregnancy exercise physio, for helping me keep muscle tone and a relative level of fitness. You're such a bright spark in my week!
Over the last few weeks I've taken two sets of bump photos - good posture and letting it all hang out. Here is the difference it makes.

1. 

   40 weeks - hanging out

D-Day

Well D-day is here but there are no signs of him moving out yet! Will keep you all posted when things change.

Firestorm Training

Andrew's started up frisbee again with Firestorm training. He's feeling a bit out of form having had quite a long break since Mixed Nationals. Hopefully he'll keep trekking in for it each week altho it's quite a trip now we're out at Dayboro.

Bernie, Matty, Pete's

Over the last week we helped the boys move into their new place. Andrew helped with all the heavy lifting stuff while I packed small things into boxes. We spent a couple of nights camping out on their floor. The new place is much nicer than the old one at Leander Street. Nice upgrade guys! They've been going a bit nuts with the new appliances too - new fridge, washer, tv! It's looking good.

These shots are of the old place.

Filling in Time

Had Grill'd burgers for lunch again today. Soooo tasty! We followed this up with three different flavours of Cold Rock Icecream which we ate at Erin's place. Erin is back in Brisbane from Alice for at least a year - woohooo! Saw the new bond movie which I struggled to understand since I napped through roughly the middle third of it.

Aerobics starts up again & fines

Pregnancy aerobics started up again tonight after the xmas break. Was great to see everyone. Unfortunately I was running rather late. Decided to txt Briony to let her know so that everyone wouldn't be thinking I'd gone into labour. Unfortunately I was spotted by the cops and fined $300!!!!! Can you believe it? :( The pregnancy lines didn't get me out of it although they did offer to call me an ambulance. Never touching my phone in the car again. So if I don't answer, I'm driving. :)

Obs Appoint #10

Everything looks good. The obstetrician wasn't prepared to estimate when he thought the baby would come. He says it's impossible to know. If he's not out by next Tuesday he suggests we book in for an induction on Wed 14th or Monday 19th. I suppose it's fair enough that he plans to have a weekend, altho I'm sure he doesn't get many.
