Time Marches On.

And quickly, too!  Can you believe it's almost October?  It was starting to feel a lot like autumn here in the last few weeks, but a heatwave this weekend has made me reconsider getting out all my cardigans and sticking with t-shirts for the time being!  At least the tree at the front of our apartment seems to realise the seasons are changing, the leaves on it are looking prettier every day.

We've only had a little bit of rain so far, so we've been enjoying gorgeous blue skies and lots of sunshine.  I just hope it gets properly cooler soon, I'm like a walking furnace at the moment.  Speaking of being hot and huge...

Holy baby bumps!  I have very rapidly expanded!  I've hit week number 35 in my pregnancy and I'm really feeling it.  Thank goodness the end is in sight!  I feel very lucky to have had such an easy pregnancy, with only the usual discomforts to moan about.  I thought I might get away with having a teeny bump right up until birth but the bean has clearly decided she needs a growth spurt and as such, I have been eating all the things and getting plenty of rest.

Looking so jazzed.

We've got a buggy and a cot and a car seat, now we just need to stock up on the essentials like a ton of wipes and nappies.  It's exciting, getting towards the end and knowing that very soon we're going to have a little baby (and I'll hopefully be able to roll over in bed with ease once more!).  With all the excitement comes a good share of nerves, too; with the actual birth drawing ever-closer, I've been thinking a lot about what it's going to be like and trying to prepare myself for the event.  I'll be glad when it's all done and dusted and we're bringing home our little one, that's when the real fun begins!

In the spirit of taking it easy and eating, I'm spending this evening on the sofa with a movie and some popcorn!  As much as I'd like to scoff all the delicious but unhealthy things (I'm looking at you, ice cream) I thought I'd pop some corn from the kernels on the stove and add a little bit of icing sugar (the powdered stuff) for a touch of sweetness, just enough to curb my craving.

I hope you've had a great weekend and you've got a wonderful week ahead of you!  Happy Sunday!

Love, K.
