Yesterday was my 36 week appointment with the midwives. I met with Jo, who was the initial midwife that came to my house for my first appointment. She's super sweet and my absolute favorite midwife!
During my exam, she determined that Baby Girl's head is fully engaged... she's ready to come out! Unfortunately, this doesn't mean that an early arrival is imminent. I was told it could be a week or it could be 3 weeks! I guess only time will tell. The fact that I'm a first time mama favors a late arrival... boo!
But afterwards, I battled the 80 degree weather (in a city that doesn't believe in AC) and the severely delayed tube, to go visit Valentina :) She is 26 weeks pregnant and made us a beautiful lunch! It's always really nice to talk to friends that are pregnant because you can never really overdue the baby talk and they know exactly what you're going through! It was fun to see all her baby stuff that she's getting!
And then it was more 80 degree weather and delayed tubes home. I am really suffering in this London heat wave. Normally I would be doing cartwheels in this weather, but it's honestly awful when you're THIS pregnant. I'm SOOOOO hot and sweaty all the time... it's seriously miserable.
But after a rest and a shower, I got all dolled up and went out to dinner with my NCT Mamas and their partners! Andrew was literally the only person who couldn't make it (he had already committed to other dinner plans). I was a little late because silly me went to the wrong Made in Italy... I went to the one close to my flat, but everyone else was at the Kings Road location! When I walked in, the host looked at me and said' "I know where you're going, come with me!" and led me to the Preggo table! It causes quite a scene whenever we go anywhere as a group. I feel like a big fat celeb!
We were sitting on the third floor, inside, BUT the ceiling was rolled back to expose the sky so it was like being on a terrace. It was such a wonderful evening. I am really really enjoying getting to know all the girls. It's such a great group! We are going to try and get together Jubilee Weekend since none of us are allowed to fly anywhere for the long weekend!
