      Update: 36 weeks pregnant! Woo Hoo! Nearly there ;)

      Hi everyone,

      Long time no post, so I thought I'd give you all a quick update.

      I am now 36 weeks pregnant!

      We had an ultrasound the other day and were told that all looks well with
      Dumpling (baby) and that it looks as though Dumpling is in the 80th percentile
      for growth, so a little on the big side but not enormous.

      It's been hard work (and still is), have lovely swollen feet and legs, my right ankle
      isn't coping well and neither is my pelvic instability, but using a wheelchair
      for part of the day has helped a lot. At this stage my eyes are definitely on the prize!

      I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and hopefully we don't go into preterm
      labour over the holidays and share happy arrival news with you in the New Year.

      Best wishes to y'all.
