Picture of me all dressed up ready for my line dance on Friday night.
The last 2/3 days, I have really noticed a change. Bump has grown and I'm starting to feel the weight a bit more. I'm not in pain which makes a change but everything is now becoming an effort. I also find that I wake up tired and my face and feet are starting to puff out. I knew it would happen at some time or another and it has definitely happened later in this pregnancy than with Ellis. I think that is due to keeping the excess weight gain down.
Generally just feeling rather stiff and tired. Loving being pregnant even more now that my pelvis pain has settled down. I'm still nursing it every day and being very careful but I think that it helps that Dollop is in a different position to Ellis. Still have quite a few weeks left yet but only 2 weeks until my next scan. I'm really looking forward to it and I hope to be told what way around he is and to find out more information re the VBAC trial labour etc.
I'm also at that stage where I keep forgetting how far along I am. I had to check before writing the title of this post.
Been having loads of Braxton Hicks. Yesterday was quite a bad day for them and we had a really busy day, plus I woke up feeling exhausted. It was quite a struggle to keep going, but you just have too, there is no choice. Ellis needs taking care of and I can't stand the house being too messy. Speaking of the house, I can feel the nesting thing kicking in again. I just look around and want to clean everything. Now all I need to do is find the time and firstly, the energy to do it all. I want to get my hospital bag packed and baby clothes cleaned soon.
Still have a few things I would like to get, like a new play mat, swaddle blanket and some nursing tank tops. I have found a really nice, cheap swaddle blanket here - http://www.ooberbaby.co.uk/grobag-swaddling-blanket-197-p.asp
Rob and I need to work out the car seat situation, birth plan, name and plan for what to do when the time comes. Other than that, I am pretty organised. The car seat thing wouldn't be essential as we already have car seats for both kiddies.
I'm hopefully going to interview Rob soon to find out how he is feeling etc. I have a long list of questions so might do it in parts. I was going to do it a lot more often but I just haven't got around to it and he is a very busy person.
Off to sort out yet more washing and to put some toys away, ready for the afternoon session.
