One thing I love about my husband is how creative, I love that he has big dreams and its amazing to be supporting these dreams and being along on the amazing adventures with him. So one day he saw a competition on making a film about hope, he sat there and wrote a script and then got into making the film. I love seeing it from start to finish, seeing the hours spent checking things to sitting on the beach for hours as an extra.
He has made many more short films as he tries to live out his dream as a film director. We know its coming we are just waiting for that break through, his dream is to big for his father to ignore the door is going to open sometime. We live in faith. He didnt win this comeptiom but still the little film is good, I think he missed the deadline to submit it.
Here is the Blurb: A young lady down on her luck and out of hope has a chance encounter with a mysterious homeless man. Shot during one sunny evening down at St Mildreds Bay Westgate, Kent. Staring Rhiannon Lane and 4 times Bafta winner Peter Corey.
So take a look you may spot me in the back ground :)

Pregnancy - 40 weeks and 5 days overdue
I have started to go mad! I cant focus! I cant do anything my brain is all over the place! I am now 40 weeks plus 5 days Pregnant! Those 5 days make so much difference, its like waiting for the postman to come with a package you are expecting you know its coming but you just want it NOW!! My mother calls alot, maybe she thinks I will forget to call her when I go into labour and her favorite words usually are "Enjoy it whilst it is quiet!!". Thanks mum.....
I had the midwife yesterday, which was very interesting I thought I had an appointment at the doctors surgery and called to rearrange as it clashed with parents evening, they turned round and said that I didn't have an appointment and in fact I had missed one last week. I hadn't heard from anyone and decided to call my community midwife. I actually didn't know who it was after seeing so many different ones throughout my care but took my chances on the first number in my pregnancy notes! She said I had missed my appointment last week and she didn't call as she thought I had had my baby!
That does sum up the care I have received this pregnancy which is a shame, just glad this isn't my first pregnancy otherwise I may have been a bit lost. I had some bloods taken and still measuring at 34cm but she said the baby felt a good size. She booked me in for a sweep for next Tuesday I am hoping I wont need it. Both Ami and Pants were a week late so hopefully this little monkey will follow suit.
This pregnancy had been so different to my others. With Ami I got a lot of braxton hicks in the evenings but with this little chappy nothing! no twinges no nothing I am not uncomfortable makes me think is he going to come or am I going to end up being induced. I don't want that have had my heart set on a water birth at our local Midwife led unit. The only thing that's been similar is my love for Soap bubbles!! Soap bubbles you say .. yes its my crazy craving apparently means I have low iron but I cant get enough, I love the smell the taste a bit yuck but thinking about it now lovely! (sorry for my pregnancy weirdness there!!)
Its funny when overdue suddenly you cant think of anything else other than the baby. Although him being late is good as we haven't decided on a name for him yet, I think we will wait to see what he looks like first before making our minds up. So now to eat lots of curry and do other things to try and bring labour on.

The Parents Evening Joy
My Pants is a very special boy (of course I think so, I am his mum). He hasn't always been the easiest of children but always makes me smile some how! I am not sure where my children get this strong will from but its not me. Pants has always been the child that stands out if a group of children, and always the one that gets caught first being naughty. He knows what he wants and will try his hardest to get it.
With this starting school was very hard for him, suddenly this boy so full of energy has to sit down and hold a pencil. He hated it and often would ask to stay at home. Before he started school sitting down for long periods was hardly done unless it involved food. Getting Pants to do craft or anything like that was a hard task. He had no time when he could be running round or playing. So after the first few weeks I had his parents evening, there was me thinking nothing of it just chatting to the teacher to find out how he was doing.
Sadly it didn't turn out how I thought it might, his teacher at the time had nothing positive to say about him, saying he was disruptive, naughty and most defiantly had a behavioral problem such as ADHD. I was shocked I knew he was not a child who liked to sit down but ADHD surely not. I left and walked down the road and cried my eyes out, not because I was ashamed but because who wants to hear bad things about there children. I told my husband about it he was supportive and suggested that we would pray into the situation. The teacher had asked me if I wanted Pants to be tested, I was unsure, I didn't want my child to be labeled, but on the other hand wanted him to get the support if he had a behavioral disorder. I myself have dyslexia and poor concentration so thought maybe he just takes after me.
I left it and slowly month by month I noticed him become more interested in reading, and even wanting to sit and draw! By the time our next parents evening his behavior
had improved and there was no mention of ADHD, but her comments were Pants talks to the teachers as if they are his friends and has no boundaries with staff. Pants moved to year 1 and they split his class up and since then he has gone from strength to strength. His year 1 teacher got behind him and encouraged the things he enjoyed. She praised the things he was good at and for once he enjoyed going to school.
Then another year later I turn up to parents evening no idea what they are going to say. Pants doesn't mention much when coming home from school and I have not had any calls from the teachers regarding behavior. I was so surprised to find out Pants is above average in all his subjects and is a star pupil in the class. They said he is bright and a joy to teach one of there favorites. I was taken a back I mentioned his year R parents evening and they said they couldn't see any behavioral problems at all. God has worked wonders on Pants I am so proud of what he has achieved so far.
I love Pants, he may not have the cuteness factor now he is growing up but there is something in him that shines. Something that makes him special and unique I hope we can channel this right as he grows up. He is so funny and makes us laugh with his funny antics he makes me a happy mum (most of the time) He is also a very patient big brother putting up with being attacked by an excited little sister on a regular basis! Well Done Pants!

Reasons to Be cheerfull: Week 38
Life is good at the moment ok I am 5 days overdue but I am happy (most of the time). Our week had been a little busy and I have been trying to take my mind of the fact I the baby still isn't here! Our reasons this week are as follows:
1) Pants had an amazing parents evening, and they said he was above average in all areas but does rush to finish first. I was very happy as he doesn't mention school alot at home. He also got star pupil of the day for the first time also all in all a good week for Pants.
2) We had my father In laws 70th Birthday party at the weekend, which was nice. My husband is the youngest of 6 and all have at least 2 children so it can be busy but the kids enjoyed playing with there cousins and we enjoyed catching up with all the family. My father in law said a lovely speech about how they never expected the family to be so large and how proud they were of everyone.
3) Ami continues to learn new words this week saying ov you, or maybe that's what I want to hear. She has been a bit of a mumuy's girl lately maybe she can sense a change. She has been giving me lots of cuddles and kisses which is nice as she can be such an active baby. She has been enjoying the toddler groups we have been attending this week, especially the ones that involves music and dancing she can be so funny.
4) We are looking forward to having a baby at any time least I know its only nine more days maximum! Everyone is excited need to sort a few things out still but its nothing that is important! Well just an overnight bag for the two kiddies when they go to my sisters for the night when we have the baby! I also cant wait to shoft these pregnancy hormones I feel all over the place sometimes.
So hoping this time next week I can say I have had the baby, we will see!

Ordinary moments - Daddy and Ami Love
The love between a Dad and a daughter can be so special. I remember when we found out we were having a girl my husband was so happy. He wanted a girl so much, a little princess he can spoil. Ami loves her daddy alot and cries every morning when he goes to work and when he gets back from work she waits by the door when she can hear him coming up the path. She gives him a huge hug and its been the same since she could crawl to the door. I write this as this morning Ami wakes up and my husband brings her into bed with him and was giving her a cuddle and she fell asleep on him. It was so cute and something Ami never ever does my husband was so chuffed I thought I just had to share it. It was just so lovely. A simple moment one that could be easily forgotten as they grow up and you forget what they were like as a baby.
It makes my heart melt to see them together, they have such a lovely bond it will be interesting to see how this changes with new baby or will it flourish more. Its funny my son is the same would much rather be with my husband playing football or playing a game than me. I am not offended I actually like it, it takes some pressure off me after I have been with the kids all day.

Waiting waiting waiting for a baby to arrive!
So I thought I was ok with the pregnancy going beyond my due date but now its all I think about. I remember the other two pregnancies feeling exactly the same. Suddenly everytime you see someone they ask you not had it yet or when you going to pop can secretly drive me mad! My mum said to enjoy the time before the baby but it can be hard to relax when every pain you get you think will turn into established labour.
I suppose there is no hurry to have the baby but I just so excited to see what he looks like, will he have dark hair like his brother and sister did when they were born, what will he weigh I just cant wait. although this week I have not been overly uncomfortable I still have a tiny bump (although my husband disagrees and calls me sizematronicle) it measures just under 34cm when should be about 40cm.
Both Pants and Ami were a week late, both born on a Saturday and both weighed within 50 grams of each other so maybe this baby will follow suit, he is was due last Saturday so maybe we have a few more days left. I dont feel ready for this baby but like everything I tend to do in life where I fell out of depth I know that I am always going to pull through. Maybe I should make the most as my mum says, go to the park/ beach with Pants and Ami, do things we may find a little tricky soon.
Also I know Im going to get an awkward call from my mum suggesting that me and my husband have sex in order to bring on the baby. No thanks don't want to hear it from my mum cheers. Any tips you have that have brought on your labours let me know?
