8 days to go!

The countdown is well and truly on now. Eight days until Cupcake arrives. This morning we went and registered with the new doctor here in Blackheath. With Tobes I had lots of home visit after he was born and it was really nice. They would come to our flat to weigh Toby and check on me every few days during the first two weeks after he was born. Then the Health Visitor would come to answer any questions or worries that I had. I hope it's the same here.

I'm still feeling pretty rough. My back has improved but I'm still housebound. I can get around the flat and do small jobs like sort out a simple lunch and do some tidying. J has gone back to work today and Tobes and I have been fine so far. Thank goodness for DVDs. We got cozy on the couch and watched The Incredibles which was a nice chance to rest.

Cupcake has been very active. I keep looking for signs that she's on her way but my radar is all skewed with the back pain. I'm still having some show and very firm contractions most nights but nothing new. I do feel a bit woozy at times and have started going hot and cold but that could be the pain killers. I'm starting to think that she might just wait until the 1st now.

We (and by that I mean J) have been working hard on getting the flat sorted. It's all coming together for the most part and I'm making plans for when Mom and Dad are here. I've been organising a grocery order and J is setting up the thirs bedroom for them. I know the week is really going to fly by.
