Like the scene from Finding Nemo where the fish all work together to avoid being trapped, my husband has been telling the baby to SWIM DOWN!
Due date +5 now. We had a false alarm on Monday but it's all gone quiet. There's the occasional wriggle but no big contractions. I'm hoping to do a post at some point very soon saying 'hurrah, the baby has arrived' but I shall be moaning until then so you'll have to put up with me ;)
I had a fantastic birthday weekend, my sister and her fiance came up from Cardiff to surprise me and they brought this gorgeous chair with them! It used to be in our childhood home and was my 'Dad's' chair :) It doesn't really fit anywhere in her house and we needed more seating so it's perfect. The children love sitting on it together (their legs are never still!!) but as soon as my husband sat in it he declared it his! It is so comfortable, so nice to sit and lean your head on.
The other picture is my children chasing balloons around, which is what we've mostly been doing everyday! You can also see the TV in the fireplace we had knocked out... it's not totally finished and I'll show another picture when it's done but it really has opened the room up and I'm so glad to be rid of the fireguard.
We've had a little bit of snow, it settles overnight but then melts with the lovely sunshine in the day! Another thing floating in is these gorgeous Bee feathers. I had a few drop in last week and saved them to open on my birthday (sad?! maybe but I had fun!)
They are gorgeous and work so well together :)

Ah flipping baby! I thought it was going to be an announcement post! Glad you had a lovely birthday. Fingers crossed for you...
You must be so fed up, but how nice that everyone made sure you had a fabulous weekend. Now, swim down little one indeed!
Will keep sending "baby out" vibes, hope your wait is over soon! : )
Oh I feel for you. I remember how totally uncomfortable I was and how disappointing to go past the due date. Hang in there girlie, little baby will be here soon. I'll be praying for you.
Oh shucks! I was really hoping I was right! I wanted it to come off your birthday, oh well, maybe a little charmer will make its appearance later tonight...or maybe I meant January 15th in the United States! lol. I am SOOOO sorry you are uncomfortable though.
ha - we just watch Finding Nemo the other day!! SWIM DOWN Baby Charm. :)
The chair looks great and seems very popular. I had to smile at the 'swim down' message. Good Luck!
Swim down, ha! Swim down baby swim down!
Swim down baby!! We want to meet you!
My goodness... I was apparently 2 weeks late... Sorry!!! thats not happening for you, we're all wishing it out now ;-)
Fabulous chair and the fireplace looks brill! Gorgeous feathers, too!
P.S. Hurry up, Baby Bee!
Now I have the song stuck in my head! Glad you had a good birthday x
Happy Birthday!! Love that chair!! It'll be a perfect cuddling a new baby chair. Those feather blocks are so pretty!
I was thinking what Rachael was - the chair should be your nursing chair! That baby of yours is just shy- all this attention is just too much! ;-))
I am sending strong "baby swim down" thoughts
If we al say it together.......swim down!!
'We' have been chasing balloons? I'd have loved to see you doing that at this stage ;o) Love your feathers so far!
Now, that chair looks perfect for feeding the baby! So s/he needs to come NOW!
Does this baby not know that there are rather a lot of people out here waiting.... oh maybe that's the problem (I'd stay in, if I knew!) xxx
Oooh the feathers are looking fantastic. Now hurry up and have that baby!
Oh my gosh ! I love those blocks!! Lots of babies are born during the full moon...here's hoping a full moon is coming ASAP.. :)
The full moon is the 27 so I hope 2 babies are here before then. Love the chair looks comfy! The feathers are beautiful. Swim! Baby! Swim! Lisa
I love the chair, and your kids look like they are having so much fun. I have my fingers crossed that the baby will arrive.
I'd your midwife not concerned that Baby Charm does not want to join us? I know here oin South Africa you are not allowed to go over 40 weeks.
Come on Baby Charm: get a move on!
fab chair! Giggling away at "swim down" :-D
Oh you poor thing. My kids say the "no eating here tonight" bit from finding memo all the time. And I LOVE your chair!
How cute are your kids in that chair with big goofy grins? Super.
Looking forward to that Hurrah post! In the meantime relax and have a lovely day (days) :)
oooh belated happy birthday and mine will be winging it's way to you in a day or so! xx
