Current Mood
Get this baby out of me! It is official... I am sick of being pregnant. It feels like I have been pregnant for years. And when I say years I am in no way exaggerating. I am constantly reminded that I waddle like a penguin and even more so about how big I look and that I am much bigger then my sisters when they were at this stage. I feel like hiding in my room until this baby is ready to show her face and even then I don't think I will want to come out!
Morning Sickness
Feels like my morning sickness is just as horrendous as it was in my first trimester. I'm not throwing up as often but I did back then but I feel like I am tip-toing around certain foods and foods that I have loved to eat through out the duration of this pregnancy I can no longer stand!
Cravings
My chocolate raisins and strawberry milkshake craving has gone now I think. It's mostly just me eating all sorts of things whilst I can now!
Emotions
As usual, all over the place! I am feeling all sorts of emotions at the moment. I am so nervous about the labour and how things are going to go down after I have had my birthing plan taken away from me but I am also feeling so excited to meet our little one! I'm just looking forward to our first stroll as a family so I am hoping that image alone will get me through the labour.
Movements
She has started to move less during the day and does all her wiggling about at night now. At the moment I tend to stay up until my OH gets home which is usually between 1 and 3am. As soon as he gets into bed she kicks him constantly for about an hour, after kicking me for about 3!
Dreams
Keeping strange as usual! I had one last night where I was staying at the Waldorf Hotel in New York. For some reason I was booking in for 3 nights and had just come from a car race/marathon. My card got declined and then I was repeating that it couldn't be right because I had just won the lottery... lol.
Size
I didn't think it was possible to get any bigger but right now I am feeling as though this baby has still got room to grow as she is measuring 4cm too small.
Pains
Constant! I had a sweep on tuesday when I went for my DVT appointment at the hospital. Since then I have lost my plug but my waters still haven't broken! I have been getting contractions on and off ever since with some of them becoming quite painful. However, nothing has come of them and when they start to get quite bad they stop.
We managed to get the rain cover that we needed for our Orb from Mothercare for £3! It doesn't have the burgundy trim to match ours as it has a black one instead but that doesn't really bother us when we could have easily forked out £20 for a universal one. We also have her lovely pink bedding out on her crib which we have wanted to do for months so we are happy about that!
Anybody else eagerly anticipating their babies arrival?
