So, the count down begins! Well nearly anyway as today I entered my 35th week of pregnancy and also started my first day off from work. I must say things are getting a little uncomfortable with all the baby movement being that touch stronger than before. It’s weird to be able to look at my tummy and actually see the baby move…..

It also feels like we’re being prepared for the long sleepless nights ahead as due to all the activity I woke up at 4am and found it impossible to sleep again and Mike being the night sensor that he is, also woke up! So after a couple of games of backgammon and an episode of “scrubs” we made it back to sleep.

Last saturday we went to Gibralter with the aim of going to mothercare and doing a blitz on baby basics only to find it was shut for the afternoon – it’s meant to be english opening times. Anyway to salvage the potential waste of a journey marks & sparks was open as was safeways so we went there instead. Undetermined we went back on wednesday and bought all the things I was having a hard time finding in Spain, so I feel we’re slightly more prepared and have started putting the hospital bag together. Just need some valium for Mike……
