Too much effort

For some reason it seems like blogging is too much effort nowadays! I think I've also been putting it off because I haven't taken any pictures of the kitchen to put on here and really need to do that. It's lovely but still a bit bare - need to get a mirror up or some pictures in there or something but just about everything that should be in the kitchen is in there now so that's good. I will take pictures soon!!!

My mum arrived yesterday so all those things that live at the bottom of the washing baskets for months at a time because I don't know quite what to do with them are all dealt with. I got chance to sort out the clothes that need to go back in the loft and also tidy the toys in the living room and various other things that had needed doing for some time. So between my mum and me we are getting on top of the house!

On Sunday morning I thought I was in the early stages of labour - turns out I wasn't which was good since we were speaking at a church 50 mins from our house (we had gone last week thinking we were speaking last week but weren't so had to go again this week - note to self: always check the diary!). I'm feeling pretty stretched now probably more so than in previous pregnancies and everyone keeps telling me how low I am! I get Braxton Hicks just by breathing so it seems so hope it's not too far off! Thursday (my due date) would be a good day to give birth but I know whenever it happens it will be the right time! We've checked and we can just about squeeze the 3 car seats across the back of the car, all we need to do now is get the Moses Basket out of the loft and I think we are set!

Ryann threw me a great 'Anna's having a baby' get-together with delicous fondue on Saturday night. She asked me if anyone was givign me a baby shower but I said I'd feel a bit guilty having one for girl number 3 so she suggested the party instead. It was alot of fun and I think we all went home stuffed full of chocolate though I still maintain I made it quite a way into my 5 a day with all the fruit!

Ben has just come home with a tumble drier for us - thank you Liz and Travis! We haven't really had one since our other one broke the day before we had Esther. Since this week is rainy all week I'm looking forward to getting good use out of it!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!
