Still here, still pregnant. I have never been this pregnant before, what a trip. I was so worried I wouldn't make it to December, and now here we are nearly halfway through!

I am feeling great, yep, I said I am FEELING GREAT. Why can't I feel great? apparently I am supposed to be "over it" and I am a "poor thing" etc etc etc.

What is UP with that? I feel better than I did a few weeks ago. Life is good. I don't do housework (I am too pregnant - well, okay I do still do some but only because I am a fusspot and Steve doesn't do it right), I don't cook - haven't done for ages, Steve looks after Baden as soon as he gets home from work, while I rest after a hard day of resting.

It's great!! Bubs is still moving around in there and I am still carrying quite high, not that that means anything but he has stopped bouncing off my cervix which is nice.

I am looking forward to meeting my baby, but I am not feeling particularly impatient, I am enjoying myself too much. I go for massages and pop out and buy lunch and meet my friends for coffee and swim in the pool and watch TV and knit. Now that my back is fixed I feel much better. That was my main problem before, I am so glad I went and got it fixed.

The only thing I don't really do is go shopping, and that's only because I have already bought everything I need and a lot of things I probably don't need. The baby has a lot of outfits. Second babies are much more low maintenance because you already have everything like the bassinette and the cot etc but all babies need brand new clothes, I am not re-using any newborn stuff its all brand new.

I am buying a new topper for the bugaboo, a red one. I have a blue one and I want a red one, so I am getting it this week.

Midwife visits tomorrow. Or "Farmer wants a midwife" as Baden keeps calling her.
