Week 37: The End is Near!

In fact, it's tomorrow! Due to my obstretric cholestatis, slightly raised blood pressure and baby slowing down, it's been decided that tomorrow - 20th Day - at 38 weeks pregnant , its D-Day for Baby Pedro.

I am in a mixed state of emotions - excited, scared, nervous, relieved! At the moment, the relief has taken over. After 8 weeks of going back and forth to the hospital it's nice to know there is a resolution, however, I'm also petrified of the fact that by the weekend, I'll be a mum. Oh, it sounds so grown up. Does that mean I'll have to start acting my age and stop binge drinking, watching Gossip Girl and being addicted to all things social media?! They actually wanted to induce him last week but all I kept thinking was I haven't shaved my legs, or had a pedicure - you can see the kind of mum I'm going to make!

It is however also MEGA exciting to think that hubby and I will soon get to meet our lovely newborn son. For 9 months now, he's been an abstract concept so it will be really nice to actually see him and start discovering his personality and what he looks like. We've already had bets on whether he'll have my nose or my hubby's ears - it's hilarious to think that he will be a mix of us. We know he's got long legs, so I'm hoping he'll be tall, handsome and most of all healthy.

So, I won't be posting for a while as I get to grips with this little fella and his needs, but once I'm back on track, I'll be back here blogging about the ups and downs of being a new mum. I'm sure, knowing me, I'll find myself in all sorts of situations - as my mother said, I never like to make anything simple. So I'm leaving you with the last picture of my hubby and me pre-baby - eek! Life will never be the same again...
