OK, maybe some small signs

OK, my feet have suddenly gone all swollen. An evening with the feet up in front of the Wii sounds like a good idea. :)

Still no sign!

Well, it's now 2 days past his due date. There is still no sign of him moving out. Feeling bigger than ever and are having the odd cramping sensation - perhaps this is a sign after all?

After a few more drinks, Bernie and Pat were comparing guts, as you do, and we decided to have a spot the pregnant person competition. So I'm 40 weeks, how many weeks do you think Bernie and Pat are? (Compare to my weekly pics.)

GameOn!

To celebrate Andrew's birthday (prematurely) we went to the Plough at Southbank for lunch with Bernie, Patty, Matty, Sarah, Jason and a few other friends of Matty's. We followed this with a hands on tour of Game On. Was really cool to play some of the computer games of our childhood: bubble bobble, sim city, populus, prince of persia among many others. This was followed by drinks at the Fox and curry (it's rumoured this helps bring labour on but as it's my 3rd curry this week I'm not convinced) back at BPMs place.

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.
