Its my DUE DATE today!

helloo :)

Well, i cant help but feel excited and full of anticipation today, because Friday 13th April 2012 is my baby's DUE DATE!!!

I haven't hopefully got long to wait til i see my baby son, and i must say I'm getting eager for things to 'kick off' and get cracking, labour-wise!
I have heard all of the old wives tales about bringing on labour, and although that's just what i think they are - tales - i have been given some raspberry leaf tea which i have been drinking since Wednesday (one cup daily, not sure how many, is meant to 'get me going' so i may live dangerously and increase it to 2 a day!)

My OH and i decided that if the baby didn't seem to be showing signs of coming anytime soon, we would go to the Cinema tonight to see a new release Horror film, (to scare him out, maybe?!) then, time permitting, for a spicy curry (to smoke him out, hehe!)

I realised that i didn't have many pictures of me with the bump (probably because i look and feel ENORMOUS!) having gained around 2 and a half stones since pregnant, but i knew i would regret not taking any later, so here are a few of me and the bump over the last 2 weeks or so, making me 38 - 40 weeks pregnant in these (and feelin' it!)

Hopefully, the next post i do will be to introduce my newborn son :) but, if he stays snuggled up inside my tum, i think I'm going to do a 'Whats in my Labour bags' as i love watching those on You Tube, and it will be interesting to do one after, to see what i actually use from them (there are 3 in total!)

Fingers crossed that Friday 13th will be a lucky day for me!!
