    Thank you so much for all the well wishes, it really does mean a lot :)

    I've had a very nice, relaxing weekend spent with various family members. I'm trying to keep my mind occupied and not worrying 24/7 about things that are (almost) completely out of my control. Every time I think about the appointments on Wednesday and Thursday I feel really sick and anxious, so putting that at the back of my mind.

    Made a small OP of £8.04 today to round down the mortgage for the start of the month. I'm not sure how much we'll be able to overpay from now on in for a while, but I'm going to keep chipping away. Every little helps, right?

    Happy Monday everyone :)

    So, appointment this morning and everything was fine apart from the most important thing; the growth of bump. Still has stayed the same and no improvements, so tomorrow is the important appointment. The midwife today said that she thinks they won't let me go much over due date now, due to growth slowing right now.

    So, a bit of a mixed day. Lots of movement and heartbeat nice and strong so trying not to worry. And hopefully, baby will make an appearance sooner rather than later. We've been for a walk this afternoon, albeit very slowly, and I've been bouncing on my gym ball in the hopes to get things moving.

    So, a NSD for us plus we're having chicken nuggets, potato croquettes and beans for tea; I'm craving comfort food at the moment and calories aren't to be worried about. Going to do a bit of blog stuff then watching great British bake off and one born every minute, then hopefully get some sleep.

    Happy Wednesday everyone.
