Balancing Without the Net

Our new apartment is coming together slowly but surely and the belly is really getting heavy now with two months to go. We still don’t have the internet/phone line set up which is why I haven’t posted (thank you Italian customer service). The weather is, however, getting much warmer and thanks to my increased blood flow I find myself shedding layers like a reptile. But I do often get seats on the bus, which is a nice bonus.

Things are going really well here, and I am pretty busy these days with all of my courses. Drawing/painting, aqua fitness for expecting mothers, lecture series for parents-to-be and courses for only the mother-to-be. When I get home and collapse on the couch for a little rest I like to use my time watching tv shows that my friend has so kindly put onto my external hard-drive, instead of cleaning and organizing. I’m pretty exhausted after all of the running around, so the apartment is still in its early stages, even though we’ve been here about a month. This weekend is dedicated to getting things in order while Cazz is home.
Peanut is more active than ever and getting stronger. The kicks and punches often leave me wincing and I am very entertained by looking at the belly and seeing the rolling motions of a moving baby. Yet, as entertaining as it is, I can’t wait for the due date-otherwise known as the day I get to breathe freely again and stop waddling down the street. For now, I must waddle away from the computer and help Cazz make this nest more comfortable.

    Oh don’t worry about cleaning now !!!

    You need to save it up for when the nesting kicks in or you will be reduced to standing on a ladder trying to clean the tops of wardrobes cos you have run out of things to brandish a cloth out lower down in the house.

    I loved that “tummy as TV” bit. I could watch it for hours. By the end he could kick the Sock Dropper’s arm off my belly.

    big fat congrats and happy end of pregnancy days.
