Had to put on some maternity trousers this weekend. Comfort is top of my list now. Luckily, I have a few pairs that my friend has lent me for the duration. They were well received and it was nice not to feel like I was bursting out over the top of the waistband. Very unsightly fashion statement!
I'm doing ok generally. Most days I feel totally normal, as if I have imagined the past 14 weeks. The tiredness soon reminds that I am infact, pregnant. My worst time is around 3pm. I could sleep on a washing line or just sleepwalk.
I'm feeling butterflies much sooner this time round. I have teeny tiny flutters which I usually feel when I'm resting or when I go to bed and it's nice and quiet. With Stefan on the go all the time, I'm finding it difficult to spend anytime even thinking about being pregnant, nevermind
doing all the recommended things like resting and taking it easy. It does niggle at me at times. It's a continual merry-go-round.
Saw the midwife on Wednesday. She took blood for Downs Syndrome testing and something else, I can't remember. I'm rubbish arent I?. Anyway, after stabbing me a few times she eventually found a vein and took a few pints. Then she weighed me. I'm still getting over it.
Listened to the baby's heartbeat, which is really all I wanted just to confirm all was OK and to stop the niggles. The last 15 weeks have been a bit of a blur and I was a little worried that I'd not paid much attention to this pregnancy as I did the first time round. It's so different this time. And a lot harder physically.
I'm more scatty than usual. Forgetting things, loosing things and can't seem to complete the simplest of tasks like putting away the clean washing in the correct place. Found one of my bra's in Stefan's wardrobe the other day?

Aaah, Isn't that just lovely when you hear the heartbeat? Makes me go all mushy just thinking about it. lol
Since having my second-I don't think I have stopped being scatty.
I was bad enough before ever being pregnant but now I think of it as just normal to find my knickers in my sons drawer, my jeans in my daughters wardrobe, tea towels in with my nighties. LOL
I must boil the kettle 30 times a day and am lucky if I make myself 2 cups of coffee. I boil it, walk off and forget what I was doing. Go back a while later-realise what I was doing, switch the kettle off again then wander off and forget!!!!! LOL
Best I don't have anymore children I think. Lord knows what I'd be like if I lost any more brain cells!! LOL
Nice to see that you are getting on well :-)
Take care
