Men nest too...

I've always heard about women nesting during pregnancy, what I hadn't known about was that men also nest. This became apparent the other weekend! Upon purchasing a cot from eBay and collecting it, Luke decided that this meant he must suddenly paint the nursery so that he could set up the cot. A trip to Masters and the paint colour was selected, I was kicked out of the house and Luke started painting. After 5 days of painting and re painting (just a little bit of Mr Perfectionist wanting to get everything absolutely right for his little girl!) the room is starting to take shape.

However this was just the start of the daddy instinct kicking in! A trip to baby bunting and it was Luke asking all of the questions about prams and capsules, making me then test out every capsule to work out which one would be the easiest to get out of the car.

He event spent a Saturday morning calling 5 baby stores to find out if we could get an adapter to fit the capsule we'd bought and the pram we were wanting to buy.

I'm certainly not complaining, it's nice to have a partner showing this much interest in the pregnancy and his little bub!

Baby moon!!

Luke and I have decided to make the most of our time whilst bub is still in belly so we've used the Easter break to take off to WA to have some well deserved down time. Travelling whilst pregnant certainly does have its challenges though! I used to love flying, now a 4 hour flight was a struggle, my back was killing and being seated in a window seat is no good for the frequent trips to the toilet (must make sure I get an aisle seat on the way home). Our 4 hour flight was then met by a 4 1/2 hour car drive down one of the most boring roads ever with stops required at every petrol station because my attempt to stay more hydrated and drink more water just means needing to pee every 5 minutes. After a long day of travel we arrived in Albany where we are staying with some of Luke's friends for a few days before we head off to the Margaret River for some time to ourselves. 

Staying with friends with 2 small children is certainly giving us a taste of what our life is soon to become! Whilst I'm excited to become a mum and meet our little girl, definitely need to make the most of life for the next 16 weeks!
