#14 - 37 weeks, 4 days

We're almost there, Katie is full term and she's having a lot of signs that the baby could come any time. It's amazing to think that there's a fully grown baby in Katie's tummy waiting to get out. She's fed up now though, let me just tell you something, being pregnant is hard work. She has been awesome through it all, but she has just had enough. This baby needs to come soon, for Katie's sake!!

Plus, I really really really can't wait to hold my daughter for the first time.

Btw, Katie is not impressed with my taking photos of her when pregnant.

#13 - 35 weeks, 6 days...

14th August 1987. The day I was born.
I'll be 25 tomorrow. A quarter of a century... Where did that even go? Not a clue if I'm honest... It doesnt even feel like it'll be my birthday tomorrow. I'm too excited about the baby now. We're so close. 29 days until she's due.
I'm on the bus to work now. Just figured i'd spend abit of time updating this blog.
We've bought everything we need for the first few months, all there is left to do is wait.
I'm not really great with words at 9am. So most of this is likely to sound like gibberish.

Katie says she think the baby has 'dropped'... Which means she's lower down and getting ready to come out. We see the midwife tomorrow morning and I guess we will be talking through some things with her about the big day. I'm not exactly sure how any of this works but I'm fairly sure thats whats going to happen.

I've been speaking to my dad recently. Ever since I became a teenager there was something that just didnt click between us. I won't go into it here. Katie met my dad and pam (my step mum) the other week and they were really nice to her. They are already grandparents to my nephew Dante, and they do a pretty great job at it. It's comforting to know they are there.

Katie has done so well during her pregnancy, there have been times where she's been in tons of pain but she's got through it. 4 more weeks until the first Lawrence of a new generation is born. That's something pretty special.
I was talking to a friend about how I felt, and I said "You know that feeling you get on Christmas morning as a kid, you wake up and realise 'oh its christmas' and you get that buzz? I get that everyday now. 'I'm goin to be a dad'"
That's why my birthday fails to grip me this year. It's overshadowed by the excitement of the baby coming.

Aslong as baby and mum are healthy... Sod my birthday.
