This is my 400th post and unfortunately it won't be too exciting....
Sorry this is all baby talk but there is nothing else going on in my life at the moment.
I continue to wait for our little guy to arrive. I feel very calm and am just waiting for him to be ready. I'm not trying all the traditional myths (raspberry leaf tea, pineapple, spicy food etc) to get labour going as I feel there is no way to actually prove they work. I am taking long walks because I need to keep moving. Well actually, yesterday I did mow the lawn with hopes of bringing on labour but to no avail. It was really hot out and I struggled big time! After I had a cold shower, I was out for the rest of the day. Lesson learned...
My hips have taken a turn for the worse and are so sore when I sleep. I've been having warm baths before bed and it seems to ease the pain a little bit.
I'm now just 4 days off of my due date. But due dates really don't mean much as babies usually don't arrive on that date! Barney is hoping for the baby to come on Sunday so he can call in sick to his second job. Haha.... I'd laugh if that actually happened but I highly doubt it.
Hopefully the next time I blog I will have more exciting news! I have my 40 week check up on Monday so hopefully the doctor tells me I'm making some progress. I'll pack my bags just in case :)
Until next time!

Getting There....
We are now 38 weeks pregnant!
I can't believe that the end of my pregnancy is so close. I have been off work for the last month and time has just flown right on by. The baby could come at anytime really which is so exciting and a little terrifying at the same time. I'm excited to have our own birth story and have those first cuddles with our baby.
At 36 weeks baby was back to being transverse but I had a check up this morning and he is head down again thankfully. I was starting to get nervous that I would have to have him manually moved or end up with a C-section but things are looking good. He is still moving around a lot so things could change, but we are very hopeful he will stay this way and I can have a natural delivery.
It's been quite muggy lately which has made things uncomfortable and sleep has become difficult. I ended up spending a few nights in the spare bedroom so I could toss and turn all night without waking Barney. I've started having warm baths and massaging my legs before bed and this has really helped me sleep better. I slept five hours straight one night and woke up excited because I had "slept through the night".. haha! My body is clearly preparing me for motherhood.
We have booked our flights to Canada and will be home from August 2 - 21! We have a mini family reunion for a few days which will be good to have all us kids together. Even better, all my family gets to meet our little one! Well, besides my parents because they are coming here for 3 weeks in April to meet bubs.
Sorry for the lack of pictures but life really isn't too exciting. I spend most days keeping the house tidy, watching movies/TV and napping! Oh, plus walking Jessie. I'm hoping the walks will help bub move south.
Not much else I can do at the moment.... he will come when he is ready!

36 Weeks
Barney and I got up at the crack of ridiculous to do our own maternity photo shoot. We wanted to get some good morning light and I am glad we did.
We drove around to a few different spots while popping in to garage sales along the way. We got some great bargains!
This picture below of Jessie and I melts my heart.... she is the best companion (besides Barney!) I could ask for. She is loyal, loving and mischievous.
My sister wrote on my facebook: "Ben (my three year old nephew) says that Jessie looks like a fox. Then he smiled and said to me... He must love the baby in auntie Lynn's belly". He breaks my heart that little boy! He is so sweet....
I had a check up this morning and baby is back to being transverse. A little disappointing but I still have lots of room for him to turn and the doctor isn't concerned. I'll go back in two weeks to see if he has turned. For now I will do what I can to turn him.
I woke up in the middle of the night with severe leg cramps. I may have scared Barney a little bit! He thought something was going on with the baby. Poor guy....
So the waiting game continues on... more organizing and cooking to be done!
Until next time....
