36 weeks and counting

Claire was 36 weeks yesterday and we've decided to take a photo a week up till her due date or till Alice is born - whichever comes first :)

Claire saw the midwife this afternoon, baby's head is down, heartbeat is strong and she's not back to back which is good. I asked the midwife if she had any idea what size baby she might be and she said if she goes to term and baby continues to put on weight as expected, she could be at the top end of 8 lbs. She did say it's just her estimation but seeing as all my babies were 8lb-ers, she could well be right. Hugh was 8 1/2 pounds, Claire was 8 lbs and Emily was 8 13 1/2.  Guess we won't have to wait too long to find out :)
However, we did say in the car home that it might be a good idea to get all the 0 - 3 month clothes out and washed just to be on the safe side.
And I'll leave you with this photo, taken this evening. The weather has been quite changeable today and after some heavy rain this rainbow appeared in the sky.

Any idea ...

what I'm hoping to get started on today? ;o)  I haven't planned to do anything else and hope to make a good start on it.

Thursday evening

I think these are likely to be the last roses we have for this year. The yellow rose has flowered three times and the peach one is on it's second round. 

 The scent from these roses is wonderful and as the bush is right outside our back door, I like nothing better than to walk outside and smell them :o)
 This little peach rose was bought after Jon's mother passed away. It's flowered each year but this year it hasn't looked as healthy as in previous years. I think it may need a good trim next year so we can get it back in good "health".
And finally, this arrived in the post the other day. I'm so looking foward to getting some time so I can sit down and watch it - not sure when that will happen though!

Finally, we heard tonight that Jon's brother Nick had a heart attack today. He's in hospital and they've put a stent in to open the arteries. We've been told he's likely to be in hospital for at least the next four days. Please keep him in your thoughts/prayers.  Thank you x

Getting ready
