Here's me and the Monty Bump at 33 weeks, on 2nd January 2009.The bump just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and I do wonder how far it can go before I actually pop!
And strangely enough I've actually lost weight over the past couple of weeks, so who knows how that works... maybe Monty's eating me! If he is, I wonder if he'd mind taking a bit off the thighs...
Anyway, only 7 weeks to go, assuming he comes on time (which only 5% of babies do).
I think he's going to come a little bit early, say 39 weeks... anyone else want to take a guess at when he'll make his appearance?
Dan's been busy with the birthing pool - blowing it up and filling it, then taking temperature readings every hour or so to see how well it holds its temperature, so he can work out whether the water tank will heat back up in time to provide adequate top ups to keep me nice and warm.
He's very organised - I'd not even thought of most of that!!!
We've also washed most of Monty's clothes and bedding so they are ready for action. I only just found out you have to wash them before they're worn ... who knew? I'd have put him in them straight from the shop!
The only thing now is to decide which of his fabulous wee outfits to put him in when he's born. It's no easy choice, especially since he's had so many lovely things from his aunties and uncles (real and adopted) in the UK and NZ.We worked out that he has now got over 70 outfits age 0-3 months! He could host the Oscars with a wardrobe like that!
I suppose, for his first outfit, we'd best make a few choices in different sizes, since he could be a little thing needing 0000 (newborn) size or a whopper needing 0-3 months... who knows?
I guess it'll not be that long until we find out ...
... as long as his head's not too big I don't mind! Jeepers!

Wow! eat your heart out Demi Moore. (It was her who posed nude in the mag? Or was that Patrick Moore? Never eat a polar bears gall bladder...)You look lovely. i predict that Monty or stanley, still holding out hope, will appear on ...mmm january 9th! Tee hee. Love deb
I think it was Ilkley Moor (do note that I am indeed 'bah tat')... January 9th you say - an auspicious day for births, so I hear, but I do hope he can hang on in there just a wee bit longer than that ;)
Funny - I saw those pictures and I thought straight away that you'd lost weight and then the blog confirmed it! You and the bump look fabulous :-)
Oi..... I should have put my name on that comment cause it makes me sounds like I could be a dirty old perv trolling the net and spotting your photo!
