Calm before and after the storm!

Its been 5 months since I blogged!! What has happened in that time?.....Just a few things. Four months ago we left sunny Australia for.....ever, years, a long time? I honestly don't know. It was very emotional and obviously quite stressful. I, of course, chose to do this whilst being 5 months pregnant! DOH! Her is Little E sulking in Abu Dhabi, our stopover, because she was over it. 

Here I am now, back in grey, dreich Scotland, 9 months pregnant but feeling like we might just be settling in at last. Big M started school 2 months ago and Little E started nursery. Our shipping consignment from Australia arrived last week. YES last week, 5 days before my due date. Two months later than expected. I spent four days franticly throwing boxes into cupboards and toys into the girls room as neatly as I could. A few short panic attacks later and its done. The house is ready for baby.


I feel ready but I am soooo scared of labour this time around. Its my third time and my last labour was great but...Its just the waiting.... I am reminding myself constantly how lucky we are to conceive and bring to full term a third baby. What a gift. I cannot wait to meet him/her and for the girls to meet their new sibling and watch the family dynamics change once again. How am I going to cope? Little E still likes to get up at ungodly times for no apparent reason, but you just do dont you. Lets begin this magical and crazy time!

Calm before and after the storm!
