I know, I know - my belly is massive! Baby Dragon sure is getting squishy in there and I struggle to walk 350m without getting breathless! Guess it's to be expected when Baby is about the size of a rockmelon. I'm counting down the days to work. I have 12 days left. Working at a hospital is getting more and more exhausting especially given the physical nature of my job. So many of my patients are quite elderly and not very mobile and they need more assistance than my poor body can offer right now.
In my mind, I forget that I'm heavily pregnant. For example, I have a whole list of jobs that I want to do in the garden and it's not until I actually get out there and try to accomplish said jobs that my body quickly reminds me that I'm being utterly out-of-touch with my physical limitations. Craig has been wonderful though. He goes along with my madness and quickly does all the jobs that I can't because I either can't bend low enough or reach high enough! My nesting is just about done. All the basics for Baby Dragon have been organised - ie cot (Thanks to Mum for buying this!), pram (now unpacked and in the boot of the car) and I've booked a baby capsule through the Queensland Ambulance Service. Speaking of the cot, check out this piccy below. Until Baby Dragon arrives, it's currently being occupied by other residents. ^^ PS - that cute little cushion to the right of Elmo is a painted pillow by my good friend Hayley! I love its expression. I reckon Baby Dragon will pull lots of faces to match.
Sleep is becoming more difficult, not just becuase of my growing tummy but also because I'm unfortunately snoring. While the snoring doesn't wake me, poor Craig isn't as fortunate. He says he's tried to wake me up a couple of times but to little avail... see, it's not just the Mums-to-be that have a difficult time of it. Oh well. Hopefully we'll be well trained and used to the lack of sleep when Baby Dragon arrives.
That's it for now. Cheers from Demi, Craigus & Baby Dragon.
