Before you ask, I'll tell you - I'm feeling great! A little anxious, sometimes tired, still overwhelmed, super excited and overall, happy!
It's four weeks until the due date of my first baby. So, that makes me 36 weeks. Ahhh!
My husband and I have prepared the nursery. It's all ready. We've had 9 months to prepare! It's been a beautiful transformation to what was formerly our guest room. We painted the walls in a natural, warm colour. We replaced the blinds and fitted the light bulb with a glass light shade I had in my room when I was a child. We repainted the cot, which was given to us by my sister and her husband. And, we made our very own shelves which now hold books & toys - all waiting to be read and played with.
I love the nursery, I'd have to say it's my favourite room in the house. It makes me feel content, relaxed & happy - all feelings I hope our baby will feel too. And, lucky for me, the rocking chair is perfectly placed next to the window. I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time is this chair. Being able to see outside and watch my chooks wander through the grass is important to me. And, there's a spot next to the window for my two dogs - they like to listen in when I'm reading to the bump!
I have to admit, this whole pregnancy has gone so quick and I'm hoping this last month doesn't feel as though it's dragging on forever. As I'm technically on "maternity leave" now, I'll have to take advantage if this time and I suppose, relax. Lucky I'm into the summer sports (can't wait for the Aussie Open to start!).
While things may be a little quiet now, I'm sure they'll be super busy in the next few months. And, we'll be bringing you more pictures from our weddings we have from mid March.
I'll keep in touch,
Chris x
