The count down is now on. With only 10 weeks to go I feel like I want to get a bit organized. I guess the first thing will be to get bubs room sorted properly.

Looking at the photo I don't look as big as I feel although I must admit I definitely felt bigger with Caleb at this stage. It will be interesting to see what weight this baby ends up at. I have had a big variation with baby weights 1) 7.10lbs 2)9lbs 3)6.15lbs 4)8.7lbs. My third pregnancy had some problems with a placental abruption in early pregnancy, I think that is why she was so small in comparison to the rest. My husband David was a 10lb baby so I have been waiting for a whoppa, I don't think this one is shaping up to be that at this stage but with 10 weeks to pile on the pounds, anything could happen.

I have really enjoyed reading the pregnancy.about.com calendar. The early stages were great to look at with the kids as there is a scan to see for each week and a bit about what is happening to bubs and to Mum. Here is a link to 30 weeks at pregnancy.about.com.

We have a new tenant moving into our flat next week. It has been a time of pulling in the purse strings lately as we no longer have a boarder and the flat was empty. It was a good time of fully relying on God. Its amazing what wonders you can come up with in the kitchen when you think there is no food. God really is a great provider. It is too easy to fall into the trap of self reliance so it has been good for us to re-evaluate who is our true provider.
