nesting, creating, livin' & learning..
After my midwife appointment yesterday I've been feeling a whole lot of things, tired mostly. It's ever so exciting knowing that we are now only 6 week away until madam is due, and hearing her little heartbeat thudding away is as amazing everytime as hearing it for the first time. Can't believe these 9 months are almost up!! Just wish the next few weeks will hurry the hell up and for everything to be a-ok. Turns out, she is very comfortable lying sideways, even with the midwife trying a little bit of gentle pursuasion, she was wanting to stay put.
I'm not sure what the guidelines are back in the Uk, as it was never an issue with Maia as she was engaged from very early on, but here madam has until week 36 to turn the right way else it will be a more than gentle pursuasion to try and get her the right way. Funsies. Cue then, an already emotionally charged mother, thinking the worst and imagining all sorts of worst case scenarios involving a c-section! gaaaaaarrrrrghhh!!
Now it all feels rather silly, trivial even, seeing it written down in front of me. I do know that the main thing is that we are both happy and healthy and growing as we are ment to. But I figure, an over active imagination never did anyone any harm ;) ...and anyway, life is about learning and living through whatever is thrown at you, and this can all be put away with the rest of the luggage we accumulate over time =)
Mark has been very much engrossed in his new bit of stuff...a Canon EOS 1100D no less ;) He's been out and about here in Holmsund honing his photography skills and having plenty of fun mucking around shooting pictures of Maia, who loves it as much as daddy does! With all these possible new masterpieces, I shall have to find some more wallspace to display it all. I already have a collection of frames waiting to be filled with pictures of our foursome...
Maybe this one will be one for the wall, we're also trying to get the hang of PS CS5 to be able to edit the photos all nice =)
Mark was very pleased with this shot, I call it beginners luck, he says its a latent talent of his coming to life ;)
I think this weekend will be devoted to taking more shots, perhaps I will get a chance to play too and try be all artistic like my wonderful husband. He really deserves an award this week for putting up with me! I tried making it up to him by cooking some dinner this evening, but I never seem to make it taste as good as he does?! Saying that, he enjoys it, and i endure it. It's one item on my to do list- not to necessarily enjoy cooking, or even like it, but to not hate it would be a start ;)
Maybe that will be a weekend project too!
Whatever you all may be doing, hope you enjoy your weekends! Mine starts tomorrow ;)
Take care & love to all,
