Fat and Frumpy not Pregnant and Blooming


That's how I feel and I think my most recent photos prooves that. I keep reading that this part of pregnancy is meant to be the part where your aches and pains and tiredness are put aside and you start to enjoy the benefits of pregnancy, the blooming stage. But I don't feel like that, my back aches, I have what I think is carpal tunnel syndrome starting up again and I just feel fat and tired. Maybe next week I'll give myself a pampering day, do my hair and nails, maybe a facemask.

As for how the pregnancy is going, all well it seems. Daz thinks he felt Bumpy move at the weekend, just a little light fluttering but hey that's cool! I seem to feel lots of movement, a lot more than I ever remember getting with Callum. Next week we have our anomaly scan which while exciting (we get to see Bumpy again) is also a little nervous (get to check all the body parts are ok). Still I'm trying to concentrate on the positives this time. Then the following week I have to have a diabetes test, because of my age and my weight I'm at risk. Great!

We've been looking at baby clothes and last weekend got back from Daz' parents the old clothes of Callum's they had been storing for us. It's been fun to go through those clothes and hard to imagine that Callum was once that small. He actually tried on one of his baby shoes and announced that he could just about get it on his big toe. lol. How time flies. Luckily a good amount of the clothes are in good enough condition to reuse this time round and there wasn't as much blue boys stuff as I thought there would be but hey if Bumpy is a girl I'm sure she won't mind wearing a blue babygro. We've decided that after Christmas we'll get the cotbed put up on the nursery but will have the rest of the room ready by then. It was newly painted last year in what was called "Toffee" but it's a nice yellow, we just need to get a border to go up and new curtains. It's quite exciting this stage.

So that's that. Hopefully next week I'll have a new scan photo to post here.
