It feels so close to having this baby but at the same time it feels far away. (what sort of statement is that?)
Bubs is still moving a lot and tends to have very jerky movements compared to the others, they tended to roll and stretch. It is not always comfortable when the little feet begin to kick but I would rather have a little discomfort than have hardly any movements and be wondering if baby is O.K.
I am still feeling good and my back came right pretty quickly.
I wrote out a list of jobs I want to do before baby arrives. We have school holidays next week for 2 weeks so it will be a good time to get those extra jobs done.
I have already cleaned the oven and painted the fire place. Yesterday I re-wallpapered Caleb's room where he had peeled a strip off. Its not a perfect job but better than looking at gib board.
I have the urge to pull out appliances such as the stove and fridge and give a good clean. I guess I am having early nesting syndrome so I will do a few things each day and hopefully by the time bubs comes I will feel clean and prepared.

David was great yesterday and hung out some washing for me while I was resting. Its lovely when you are expecting to do a little job and then find it done for you. He really is a great husband and I wouldn't trade him for anything.

Someone tried to break into our home a few weekends ago while we were home. David chased him down the road with a gardening fork while I called the police. They managed to get him and he is awaiting sentencing. I must add here that I am not that impressed with N.Z sentencing and would love to see convictions and penalties increased. There is a group called sensible sentencing which is lobbying for tougher sentences. I just think life should mean life.

The children are all well but I realise I need to be a bit more consistent with Caleb's discipline. It is too easy when you are pregnant to let them get away with things but you pay for it in the end. I am trying to make sure I follow up on instructions given and not to tolerate any grizzling. It could end up being hard work with a new baby if I don't remain consistent.
