Update

24 weeks!!

This last week has been really busy with lots of sanding, puttying and getting ready to paint on the weekend. I have been walking to and from work most days and went to the gym 3 days last week. I am really enjoying the walking and it seems to be helping me sleep. I have been having these bizzre nights where I wake up at 2:30am and am wired! I feel wide awake and ready for a day of work, then I feel exhausted and ready for sleep about 20mins before the alarm goes off. But with the extra walking I seem to be sleeping a bit better. Mother Nature is getting me ready for things to come.

I am feeling really great and I think that the belly is getting bigger....which I am loving! I find myself rubbibg my belly or just walking along with my hand on my belly. Bub is really active and I love to feel the kicking. Ray finally felt a few really strong kicks a few nights ago and his face was priceless! It was pure shock and amazement... "wow did you feel that??"

So on Saturday my wondferful sister came down and helped Ray to paint the baby room. I was shattered from doing sanding and painting the undercoat during the week so I was very thankful for her help. We painted a lovely pale green and I am glad it is one big job out of the way. With Ray training for Fitroy falls the next 6 weeks he will be pretty pooped and then it is the marathon, then a few weekends of birth classes and then it is almost show time. So I spent a great day with my mum and little Alex and they did all the hard work :-)

Sunday morning it was pouring with rain and while Ray went off to meet the girls for a long run I opeted to stay in bed. It occurred to me that I have 16 more potential sunday sleep ins, so I should make use of a few!! We then had a really realxing day and went to see Die Hard 4.....pure action and I suprisingly enjoyed it- a mature Bruce was not to bad to look at for a few hours either! Bub was going crazy in the movie....mut have been responding to all the noise.

So we are now 24 weeks....16 to go!
