As of Saturday I have now finished work and started maternity leave so if Little Miss comes on her due date it gives me 6 weeks to chill and get organised. The only thing is I'm exhausted at the moment so need an energy boost to manage the various things I need to get done. It was nice to have a lie in this morning but I'm finding it doesn't ( Read more... )

Well the birthday night out turned out to be rubbish until Dead of Night as no one turned up even though Dave and I posted about it well in advance but at least we had fun at Dead of Night and it was good to see everyone ( Read more... )

Ever since I got up mu right eye has been stinging and streaming almost constantly. It's been doing it a bit for the last few days but it's just my luck it decides to get worse today :(

I don't have any particular plans for today and have opened my cards already so plan to just chill. I'd just prefer to do it not in pain!

I'm now 26 weeks pregnant so have raging heartburn which makes me cough as I end up with stomach acid in my throat - ouch! On the plus side though through Sunday night she finally started kicking properly which made me jump and Dave felt it too as I put his hand on my tummy :) She's making up for lost time now though as she's kicking constantly ( Read more... )

I'm probably in a down mood as I've been floored all week with the bug that is doing the rounds and am still suffering with the cough from hell which prevents me from sleeping as I cough almost continuously when I am up but when I lie down it gets even worse. My nose is like a streaming tap too so I'm exhausted from hardly getting a wink of sleep ( Read more... )

Gah what is it with the UK and snow? A weeny little flurry and bedlam ensues! I start work at 7am on fridays and when I left it was pouring with rain so I drove down and there was no sign of snow and the weather forecast looked like it would miss this area. However, by 10am ish it started snowing quite heavily although wasn't settling as the ( Read more... )

Dave and I went for my first ultrasound scan yesterday so they could work out my estimated due date and unfortunately even though I'd drunk gallons before going my bladder was rather empty which was causing problems with the scan as my baby was curled in a ball. They sent me out to drink some more which made me wince as I was already busting for ( Read more... )

I'd love to go to Inquo tonight but Dave is working as usual from 10.30pm to 6.30am tomorrow morning and it's too far to travel on my own, plus I'm so exhausted after work when I get in that all I want to do is to sleep at the moment. I'm missing seeing everyone so roll on when Dave manages to find a job working in the day and we can come along ( Read more... )

There's a downside to my preference of tight fitting hipster jeans and leather trousers and that is due to my expanding waistline all of my trousers are now unbearably tight and make me run to the loo even more! All I can say is thank heavens for maternity trousers as I raided Mothercare last Sunday and bought 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of ( Read more... )
