CHUBBY - 26 WEEKS

26 weeks today! The time is slipping away very quickly. I know I say that every week and I probably will until Dollop arrives. Then I'll be saying I can't believe Dollop is one month old etc.

Started to look slightly chubby on the arms, face and neck. To be expected I suppose. I have started to eat better again now so hopefully I will curb the excess weight gain.

Ellis has chicken pox so I have phoned the midwife and left a message for her to call me. Just want to check my immunity and to find out if I can catch anything else as I have a very swollen throat and chesty cough, (completely unrelated I'm sure).

Line dance tonight but pelvis still isn't great. Will take me dancing shoes, not boots, and see how I feel later on. I don't want to over do it as I have a busy weekend ahead sorting out the bedrooms. Really excited about doing that though.

Looking forward to seeing Rob and having a cuddle and hopefully watching Dollop move and kick around like he did last night. He went mad! It was lush to watch and it is exactly what I was looking forward to the most about being pregnant. I will try and capture it on video soon and I plan to take the camera to bed with me as this seems to be the time he does it the most. It doesn't keep me awake though.

I can't wait to meet the little guy now but I know he has a lot more cooking to do yet. I just wish, like last time, that my pelvis would be okay. It would be so much easier.

Really enjoying being pregnant though, other than the pelvis thing and I am trying to cherish every good moment as it might be the last time I get to experience it.

Done loads this morning and I'm feeling really chuffed with myself. Might take Ellis out for a walk in a bit as we can't really do anything else due to his chicken pox. But then again that would aggravate my pelvis. Will see later on.

I've noticed that I have started to call Dollop "he" and that I talk about "my boys" already. Denial period is officially over!
