Warmer weather, more sunshine and longer days mean SPRING has arrived so it’s time for a garden and pregnancy update!

A Pregnancy Update For Baby #3

I’m just ticking over 35 weeks (at the time of typing this) so 5 weeks-ish to go. We are getting super excited and i’ve ticked off a few ‘must do before I go into labour’ things like:

• Packed baby’s bag for hospital
• Half packed my bag for hospital – need to add a few clothing items
• Washed all baby’s belongings and toys etc
• Set up bassinet in our room – still need to put the sheets/blankets in

Baby #3 is already head down sitting on my cervix. Slightly painful when walking but not long to go anyway. Gestational Diabetes is under control with diet still and I am super happy to not need any extra medication so far. All is well in the pregnancy department. 

SPRING: A Garden Update!

The boys have been out in the garden preparing the soil ready for our seeds. We don’t have any fancy tools just a pitch fork, shovel and lots of sweat. We start out with a small patch and plant as we go. This year we are planting tomatoes, capsicum, rainbow carrots, broccoli and pumpkin. We also topped up all our potted fruit trees with new fresh soil and gave them some powerfeed for a bit of a boost.

It has been lovely getting out in the garden, seeing the fruit trees starting to flower and taking advantage of the sunnier weather in amongst the rainy days and sneaking in a few beach trips in between. I’m slowing down in these last few weeks trying not to overdo it and resting when I need in preparation for our birth.
