this little port: bump: 32 weeks

Tuesday, March 19, 2013

We took these photos last night, when the husband was tired from work and I was tired from the constant jack hammering going on in the construction pit next door. We were both a bit grumpy, which is why I'm extra glad that I have some lovely ladies who have offered to shoot my bump over the coming weeks. Husband can have a well-deserved break from being my photographer.

To be honest, it's not quite 9am and I'm feeling grumpy again thanks to those aforementioned jack hammers waking me up nice and early this morning after a terrible night's sleep. I think I'll make myself some tea and read through my Calmbirth book. Despite my whinging, we did have a lovely weekend. The two of us drove to Bowral on Friday night to attend Calmbirth with Peter Jackson. We stayed at the sweetest B&B, where we relished having a king sized bed, a body pillow, and the kind of quiet you only get in the country.

Saturday and Sunday were spent with a group of other couples, preparing for our upcoming births. Peter's wisdom and gentle encouragement was exactly what we needed. Husband came away with a greater sense of what to expect on b-day (as Peter calls it) and the tools to be a wonderful support person. I came away feeling excited to birth our baby. Eight more weeks...

p.s. Check out Jodi's blog today to see some photos that Luisa snapped of our lunch date in Surry Hills...

You are looking gorgeous. I like that polka dot top very much, and the evening light in these photos is lovely.

You look amazing!

I get grumpy. The husband takes all of my pics.....sometimes he'd prefer not to. ;)

Cheers.

Naw you're still a cutie! Did you feel more empowered from Calmbirth? We have ours the weekend of 20th April! I'm really excited.

Hi Gaby, I just discovered your blog and I'm so glad I did! Love the photography and low-key feel of this - and your bump :) I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have been trying to practice yoga, Pilates, and barre regularly because they are so fluid and calming while still being challenging! I'm really looking forward to following along with your story!

It looks like you are having a lovely time being pregnant... I know it's not always easy. Grumpiness is just part of the program sometimes. Hang in there and take some "you" time. xo
