8 weeks untill I’m due 

That’s right in 8 weeks I am due!! 

I’ve been expecting since late July and now we are nearly there.  I cannot be induced and there is no fear of the imminent arrival   making an early appearance.  Since July I have been making plans and researching what everyone else in my situation does and I’ve also been trying to get money together.

In this last trimester I’ve been thinking about my bag for the big event and what I’ll be taking with me, here’s my list so far:

Clothing

Underwear – 10 x cotton breathable seamless knickers maybe Runderwear if they will kindly give me some (always trying) for day. 10 x comfy knickers (any will do) for afterwards each day.

10 x  more mile running socks 

10 x fluffy bed type socks and a few everyday socks

Everyday bras x 10 – don’t think I’ve even got 10!!
