When? Where? We know how....

So I'm really feeling heavy right now and the more movements we can feel and remembering the excitement last Thursday caused we're finding it so difficult to try and remain casual and adopt a 'it'll happen when it happens' attitude! We were chatting about the past ten months (because, really, it is ten months in total) and we discussed our decision to find out whether our wonder was a boy or a girl. A few advised against us finding out about the sex of our little one because it might ruin the 'suprise', but we're really glad we did and would, without a doubt, do it again. Aside from being able to plan, it really has helped us to bond as we've been calling the baby by their given name and it's helped with the praying thing too. It worked for us but it doesn't mean it would work for others. That's why pregnancy is so unique to each couple...we're both itching like crazy to meet our baby and am hoping if I sneeze hard, it might just fall out. Ha ha.

Wishful thinking.

We've been given so many suggestions on how to bring the baby on, not least from two of our baby's aunties who gave the baby strict instructions on how and when to arrive (sadly, the munchkin ignored Auntie Elle's instructions to arrive before she went back to university!). Friends and family have plagued us with ideas (eating pineapple, bouncing on the ball, taking a bouncy bus ride, eating curries and walking lots - among other things!) and while there have been plenty of signs over the last few days, we know the baby won't arrive until their time and God's time. But here's hoping it's sooner rather than later....!! And in the meantime, we'll try and be as prayerful as possible! I have been advised to visit Mothercare and Marks and Sparks often too, as apparently, if your waters break there you get a nice little goody bag!
