Usual bump pictures with an extra one of me trying to hide how many chins I now have!
Dollop still seems to move around quite a lot. I get kicks/punches on my left and right side and along the top. I obsess everyday about what position he might be in.
I have also felt him have hiccups a couple of times too. They are a lot softer feeling than with Ellis. I had a horrible squelchy feeling with Ellis that used to go on and on for ages but Dollop just has rhythmic gentle throbs.
Been going to lots of classes lately and talking loads about labour, giving birth, recovery and taking care of a newborn and toddler at the same time. I feel quite strong about it all until I actually think about it! I'm really excited to meet Dollop and start finding out what he likes, doesn't like etc, and to watch him grow, and I'm also excited about Ellis meeting him. But when I think about the lack of sleep I start to get really scared about how I am going to cope with it all. I know I will have support etc for certain things but doing breast feeds during the night and then still having to get up in the morning to sort Ellis out and going to his groups etc is a very daunting task. When will I have time to wash and get dressed? When will the washing, dishes and food shopping get done? Ironing? Cleaning? Will I ever have any down time again? It may be all plane sailing and I will love every minute, but my brain doesn't work like that, much to Rob's annoyance.
Did a ton of housework yesterday and it felt really good to get it done. The only problem was that I totally did myself in! Aches and pains are back and I was so tired. Went to bed at 9:30pm and didn't get up until 10:30am today. Thanks honey for doing the morning shift. xxx
Going to try and set up the interview with Rob this evening and will post it tomorrow. Fingers crossed I can stay awake that long.
Bye 2020

New year, new blog post. I have so much I could write about that has
happened over the last few months but I'm not sure this is the best place
to put it...
