NOT AGAIN! - 25 WEEKS, 5 DAYS

A couple of days ago, I lunged to try and catch something that was falling. This has now led to having a sore pelvis again. It is actually quite tender to the touch and I have been trying to take it a bit easier, physically, over the last few days. It hasn't worked and today it is still quite sore.

I have a line dance tomorrow night and I am going to go, just to see everyone as I haven't seen them for a couple of weeks. At this moment I don't think I will even attempt a dance. I will see how I feel on the night.

I have been wearing my support bandage and nursing my pelvis as before but it hasn't improved yet. I hope it goes like before, but time will tell on that.

I'm supposed to go swimming today but it just means a lot of physical work. Getting myself, Ellis and the stuff ready, getting him in the car, getting myself in the car, getting out the car, getting the buggy out the car and lifting Ellis out of his seat and into his buggy. Then we have to get undressed, dressed, in the pool, out the pool, showered, undressed, dressed again and then the return trip in the car. I mentioned to Rob that I didn't think I felt up to going and he said why not! Men are so funny. They really only think like Homer Simpson. I started to go through the above list and then I think he realised that going swimming, isn't just as simple as going swimming. It basically feels like a pulled hamstring and every movement causes twinges of pain. It doesn't make the prospect of doing all the above that appealing.

I have also been doing way too much around the house. Not cleaning but sorting out the spare room and all our junk. It is looking much better now and the furniture will be arriving on Saturday so hopefully over the weekend I can't get it nearly done. Not sure we will move Ellis into the new room just yet. I would prefer for him to be settled in there before Dollop arrives, but we will see.

Dollop is a very quiet baby so far. Not too much kicking or movement. All the kicks are still down towards my bladder, so I hope that changes in the future.

We have the midwife appointment in 10 days. Feels like I haven't seen her for ages. Last time it felt like I was going all the time.

Constipation is a another problem at the moment. I need to try and drink more water and eat a ton of fibre. In fact I'm going to have a bowl of cereal now. I am going to try so hard to eat better. I have just been eating tons of rubbish, putting on excess fat, and basically not looking after myself. But I have also eaten lots of fruit, as I have a bag of crisps, feel guilty and then eat an apple to balance it out! Not really a good idea. Should have just avoided the crisps in the first place. It's so hard though. Putting on excess weight will certainly not help my pelvis as the baby grows, so I need to do something about it now. Having a bad pelvis really slows me down too so not working off the calories as much.

Been feeling rather lethargic over the last 2 days, hope I'm not coming down with something.

Mum's for tea tonight which will be lush, then home to bath Ellis and then I will have a shower and chill in front of the computer. Bliss.
