33 and 34 weeks

I've had three weeks off work already, which has flown by.  I'm trying to just enjoy this time and take it easy, but I constantly feel the need to be doing things, and I'm not good at doing nothing.  Luckily, there are many jobs to do before the baby comes, most of which involve spending money at various shops, and if there is one thing I'm good at...
I am also doing yoga several times a week, which I'm really enjoying.  I really am getting physically pretty big now, and regularly cursing the fact that our two bathrooms are up a flight of stairs - firstly stairs (pant pant), and secondly, how many times in a day can one person need to go pee?
33 weeks and heading off to yoga:
 34 weeks and heading off to a Jungle Party (ahem, note suitability of dress):
I saw the obstetrician yesterday, and he said bebe was officially "engaged" - every time I hear that, I can't help but think of Dodd rugby tackling people, yelling "engage".   The little guy's room has come together quite nicely, and by just doing a couple of things a day, it's nearly there!  We just need to buy a bookshelf and put together his bassinet, and we will be ready!  I even bought nappies the other day (uumm, BTW - nappies are EXPENSIVE!), and felt like a proper mum loading them into the back of the four wheel drive.  The car seat is fitted, hospital bags are packed as much as they can be, change table is stocked up, baby clothes are washed and the nightlight is plugged in.
