I skipped my appointment at the hospital this week because I’ve had a cold and really just wanted to stay in bed instead.  The midwife was great, she asked all of her normal questions over the phone and is happy to wait until next week to see me again.

As you can see from the photo, my little Nudgie-bear still hasn’t dropped.  And I’m still wearing my regular bellybutton bar because I still have an innie!  Besides plenty of braxton hicks contractions, there’s really nothing else to report.  I’ve been feeling sad with the inevitable end of this journey getting closer and closer, and I’m finding it rather boring to be just sitting around at home all day.  I spent the first week of my maternity leave cleaning.  I cleaned everything that needed cleaning and everything that didn’t, then went back around and did most of it again.  The highlight of my day today was making a raspberry and honey semi-freddo.  It was a bit fiddly but dead easy.  The best part was getting to lick the bowls myself — that’s a treat usually reserved for the husband!

My grandmother came to stay last week and we spent a lot of that time visiting with other family, celebrating my niece’s second birthday and working on our family tree.  My brother and I have been working our way along different branches and have discovered all sort of interesting things.  Firstly, we’ve discovered that we are 6th generation Australians, and have some interesting connections to explorers, convicts and a bigamist but so far, no long lost inheritances!
