can aunties have brag books too?

Just because I'm the proud {and faraway} Auntie ... the only Auntie! ... to wee Isla, I just had to show off a few more photos! (Stolen from Bethany's Facebook ... hope you don't mind, Beps!) Love the picture of my parents with their first grandbaby! - I've never seen quite a smile like that on my Dad before.

Everyone's home and happy now - and now the family focus and waiting has shifted to us now. We're soon next to see who Isla's cousin is going to be! Into my last week of this 40 weeks countdown and I'm simply willing my body to go into spontaneous labour on its own before the end of the month, when Doctor will then push an induction. (Which I would love to avoid and am praying against a c-section too ... but I know, I know ... nothing may go at all as I hope and plan ...) Nothing major to report from yesterday's checkup, just now waiting and relaxing and enjoying these last few days or weeks. All the while, still feeling amazing. (How did I get to be this lucky?)

Thankfully we're having a week of utterly gorgeous, sunny, hot weather and that's enough to make anyone happy. My oh-so-modern chair and ottoman are apparently en route to being delivered as we speak and Sam and some neighbor friends are going to lug up our 400lbs each radiators tonight, plus the guest room furniture. So nice to check those off the list and bring this house into even a little more normalcy as each day passes.

And I've got to stop procrastinating and pack my hospital bag today! And recharge my ipod ...
But that's it. Oh, and read my library book out in the sun. Mumma needs to relax!
