The One About Bump Week 38 . . .

I'm a little late in posting this because tomorrow we'll be exactly 39 weeks!  I've put the 36 week photo up too, so that you can see the difference that two weeks has made.  Bump did drop a bit on Tuesday after Baby did much wriggling, but unfortunately you can't see it as clearly as I'd hoped in the photographs.  She hasn't dropped nearly enough for my liking either!  I would be quite happy if Baby decided to put in an appearance now as I've had enough.  The main problem is my feet, everything else I could live with, but my feet are now constantly swollen so I can't be up and about as much I'd like or even in a seated position at my desk as that causes them to swell even more too.  So, I'm now trying anything possible to bring labour on!  That's how fed up I am!  I'm drinking Raspberry Leaf tea, eating fresh pineapple, and rocking about on the exercise ball.

At 37 weeks if anyone suggested we go anywhere I would say 'oh it's too close and my waters might break', now, I'm saying yes to outings in the hope that it does bring things on!  I'm past caring now if my waters go in public!  I just keep a spare set of clothes and my hospital notes with me in the car whenever we go out.  So last night we went for dinner at Pizza Hut and the cinema with our friends, and today I have been out for lunch with M's sister.  Both were nice outings, but still no sign of Baby!

So if anyone has any other tips please do let me know!
