Well, I am now 39+3 and, if I’m honest, being heavily pregnant is starting to become a bit of a chore. I feel SO huge and slow and heavy, and it is hard work dragging myself around and doing things. I’ve not got much energy, I feel really tired and today I’ve been feeling particularly [...]

Well, I finished work today to start my maternity leave! I’ve had a really lovely day, with lots of kind things said and lots of lovely presents, not only for me and the baby but also some presents for Lilly too! It feels really great to finish. Work itself hasn’t really been so bad, it’s [...]

Well, if I wasn’t feeling particularly tired last time I blogged, I certainly am now! In the last week I have been feeling very pregnant indeed! I feel huge and I feel slow and I feel lazy! I’ve also had some kind of strange bug which left me feeling a bit strange and slightly sicky [...]

Well, I’m 18 weeks pregnant and things have all settled down a bit, so there’s not an awful lot to report, really! The morning sickness is a distant memory, and I’m feeling pretty normal really. I have been feeling pretty tired though the last few nights – its like the tiredness I didn’t really get [...]

For the last few days I’ve also felt ill at the thought of tea and coffee – something which never happened last time. I know it must be so obvious in work when I’m turning down teas and coffees – usually I’m a caffeine monster – but I don’t really care if people work out what the reason might be – the thought of a cup of coffee makes me feel really sick!
The news is sinking in…

One thing we didn’t prepare ourselves for was people asking us the “when are you going to have another one then?” question. Both times we were asked we stammered and made lame jokes… it must’ve been pretty obvious! But hey, never mind…

Well, it’s nine weeks today (by my calculations, nine weeks three by the doc’s). Things are still going along fine, we went to a booking in appointment with a midwife called Lynn at the hospital yesterday. She took blood tests, blood pressure, checked urine and gave us a whole load of reading material. We also [...]
