Week 18

Been having very vivid dreams this week. Full on technicoloour and surround sound and some very special effects where I can feel what's happening. Bizarre. Have woke Darren up to put the light on as I was feeling scared.

Monday/Tuesday I was having some pain in my pelvis area, so much so it hurt me to walk. I made an appoinment with the midwife again to get it checked out. Apparently it's fairly normal with a second pregnancy as everything is much looser inside, muscles not as taught and things start to move and strectch more easily with growing baby. She suspects that I have something called SPD (which translates to something like 'synthesis pelvic disorder') - which is basically my pelvis bone rubbing together with the ligaments - and it's really rather painful. Been told not to left anything heavy - like Stefan.

Finally managed to get hold of some decent maternity clothes this week. It's been impossibe to go shopping with Stefan at this time of year. I tried it once and gave up after half an hour and came home empty handed. Too stressful anyway without having a toddler with you. Popped into Mothercare with Mum when I visited home on Monday and got a couple of things. Not a moment to soon either as I really am showing now.

Last week of term this week, so I am trying to get marking done and out of the way. I really do need to have a rest and try to catch up on some sleep while Darren is off and can have Stefan for me a few mornings.

Got the girls round tonight for a pizza, and my cold is on it's out. Just got the reminas of a runny nose, but am sleeping again.
