So I officially started maternity leave as of Monday, a lot of friends have asked if I am enjoying being a lady of leisure, well i can tell you there hasn't been much leisure yet! Mark and I have been bust getting the house ready and doing a much needed spring clean and declutter.
But we are nearly there and then I will be a lady of leisure! I am planning a couple of lunches with the girls and hopefully will sneak a day in at the day spa for a nice massage and pedicure. Mark and I bought a Nespresso coffee machine and can I say it is totally awesome and maybe the best appliance I have ever bought, I love it!!!
We have also finished the nursery, just waiting for some wall decals to arrive and then it will be totally complete, it was a very surreal feeling setting everything up in preparation for OUR baby, we have been imagining this day for so long and its hard to believe its nearly here!!
No news on the baby but we will get a scan next week to see just how big this baby has grown in 4 weeks, I hope that our SM Jyoti isn't to uncomfortable and I am sure she can see the light at the end of the tunnel too.
We picked up our visas yesterday, so we can now officially go to India at the drop of a hat, but it is only 19 days until I leave and Mark will be there 2 days after me. When we were at the Indian embassy putting our application in, the lady who served us said, "Wow you been to India a lot this year, even we don't go back that often" Mark and I just smiled at each other thinking if only she knew.
Congrats to the new parents and parents to be out there in blogland, such exciting times ahead for all.
Well here are the stats for 33 weeks:

The waxy protective coating, vernix, is becoming much thicker this week as the lanugo continues to shed and may be almost completely gone by now.
Inside your baby, the lungs are continuing to mature in preparation for breathing in the outside world.

Sounds like everything is progressing just as it should be. Enjoy the time getting ready.
