18 weeks tomorrow!

Well I'm 17 weeks 6 days now. This pregnancy really is flying by. It seems an age ago since I found out I was pregnant, yet it's going by so quick! I can't believe I'm 18 weeks already (well, tomorrow).

The little blob seems to be growing well. I'm still not feeling MANY kicks, I think because I don't have the time to just lay down, relax, and concentrate on them!! I've had my last midwife appointment until the middle of January now, when I'll be almost 25 weeks. I have just three weeks to wait til my next scan, which while I'm itching for it NOW, I'm sure those three weeks will whizz past just like the previous 14 weeks have (since I found out I was pregnant). And I really REALLY want to know the sex of baby this time round!! Yes, I'm hoping it's a girl. But I'm not holding my breath, and I am thinking it is most likely a boy. But if it is a boy... then I'll get to one day, get this (or get it made) for all three of the boys...


And plus the boys will have another brother to share their fun with and grow up with :)

There is just so much on lately. I am trying to fit in more housework. Which is very much needed. I so badly want a tidy clean home. And I know the best way to do that is to gradually work it into my routine to do more around the house.

In addition there is decorating, and also work has started in our kitchen. We are three days in, out of a maximum of ten days work. The old cupboards, oven, sink, etc are all out. The horrid lino has gone. The new laminate tiles are down (and look lovely!!). The plumbing and electrics have been adapted to accomodate the new position of the sink and the addition of a dishwasher. The new kitchen is all in, in boxes or ready built in the case of the floor cupboards. The floor cupboards are all roughly in position. That is roughly where they are up to at the moment, and tomorrow I am expecting him to make sure all the floor cupboards are fixed in, and to start on cutting the work tops. It is all exciting seeing it all come together. :) And very much looking forward to it all being done and having a brand new shiny kitchen! Once the kitchen is finished, we will have 12 days til the scan. And, it being December, will mean we are focussing on getting Christmas preparations done. And before long it will be the scan, then Christmas, and then comes the next part of the preparations, that is emptying out the old study, and sorting out that room.

I like having projects, seeing things getting done in the house. It makes me feel like I am accomplishing things, and that breaks up the daily monotony. Things certainly are moving forwards, and I'm looking forward to what the future holds. :) Another precious child, fun family times, making our house our HOME finally, making it uniquely ours and painting this blank canvas :) And keeping this house as somewhere pleasant for all of us to be proud of, and enjoy!

Oh! I almost forgot! Most of you will know this as you have me friended on facebook, but for those of you who don't... I am not diabetic this time round :D Over the moon!!
