Time is flying by. I cant believe I am nearly 31 weeks pregnant. Baby Olivia Grace, the name we decided to call our precious little girl, is growing right on schedule. Her latest thing to do to pass the times is kick my ribs really hard on one side, and then punch and head butt me on the other. Although Chris finds this very amusing to feel, I am in complete pain! But only 9 weeks to go and we get to see our little girl. Im so excited.
A few weeks ago we went with our dear friends Ian and Rebecca Joy to York. We were able to visit Bettys, a really cute tea shop, and have afternoon tea ( a dream Ive had since living in England). It was a nice day, although my pregnant body was slowing everyone down, and by the end of the day I was tired.
Chris and I started our NCT, national childbirth trust, classes a few weeks ago. they are wonderful, and we really like them. There are 8 couples who attend the classes. so there is potential for some good friendships to develop out of them. Ive also been spending time with another pregnant friend, Jess Brown, who is due in 3 weeks, and Lynne Carr who is also due in 3 weeks. Jess and I had quite a fun time Christmas shopping at the Metro Centre last week... which included a long break sitting on the couches at Marks and Spencers with pretzels and percy pigs. What a site we must have been.
Im really enjoying being pregnant, but look forward to having our Olivia in December. God has truly blessed Chris and I with so many supportive friends! I am very excited to start Mums and Babies group and the other fun things having a baby brings. But until then, I will just have to deal with heart burn, and a kicking baby.
