Forever Pregnant

Here I am at 31 weeks and I feel like I have been pregnant forever. By the time I get to hold this baby in my arms, I would have been pregnant for 12.5 out of the last 15 months due to our loss last year. That is a long time to be pregnant but I am incredibly grateful to be pregnant with a healthy little boy. This pregnancy is just going ridiculously slow.

This is me pregnant with Myles at 36 weeks.

This is me pregnant now at 31 weeks. I think the bumps are nearly the same size and I still have 9 weeks to go!

I have had many comments about how big I am. It doesn't bother me, I cant control how much my uterus grows! I have also had many comments from guests at work asking me why I am still working. I generally feel pretty good so why not!? I worked until 34 weeks with Myles and plan to go a longer this time as I am casual instead of full time.


I have been eager to start moving furniture around to prepare for the baby but I have to wait until we paint. Instead, I starting rearranging what I could in Myles' room. His change table used to be where his dresser is but since it will be moving out for the baby, I swapped it over. Have I ever mentioned how much I love his room? I do... it is boyish without being over the top with trains and cars. It reflects the ocean and where we live!


The picture above the dresser is from when we went snorkelling in Vanuatu on our babymoon.

This is the other half of Myles room, which is very messy at the moment. The crib and the change table will be coming out and wardrobes will be moving into the space. I will do before and after pictures once it is all done. The crib is full of the stuff for the baby but don't have any space to put it until all the other furniture is moved around. It isn't ideal but space in our house is limited so we make do!

The picture above the crib is also from our Vanuatu trip when we were pregnant with Myles. I love having personal pictures hung on our walls.


Still more work to be done but at least it is a start. Although, I think I bruised my pelvis while moving the dresser by myself so maybe it wasn't the best idea as I am quite sore and now waddling around the house. Isn't pregnancy just glamorous!?
