Week 19

Had some maternity clothes passed onto me this week from Chris, which are great. Got the rest of mine back that I lent Sarah at the start of the year too. I now have at least three outfits to wash and wear!

Darren and I had both finished for Christmas by the end of this week, and we took Stefan to the Friday toddler group Carol Service. Not our (holy) cup of tea at all, but Stefan enjoyed it being with his regular Friday friends. They had a puppet show, Christmas carols and tea and mince pies.

We spent the afternoon at Robert Hall. Some of the yoga girls had hired it for the afternoon to throw a small Christmas party for the children. Martin - one of the hubby's - dressed up as Santa, and was the star of the afternoon. Stefan enjoyed running about and playing.

Continuing our 'party' theme, we went to Chris's on Saturday as Alice had turned one. Was nice to catch up with her and the girls, and of course Stefan loves little Izzy - Alice's older sister.

I think after all the running about, I was very tired on Saturday night and I was a bit tearful, and my pelvic pain didn't help matters on Sunday when we took Stefan for a walk over Braunstone park. I struggled with walking at times.

Not felt much movement at all. The odd flutter here and there, but no tummy ticklers yet.

Christmas Day was lovely. We got Stefan up and showed him his presents. He was so excited. He did get a little overwhelmed and a bit tearful, so we spread the opening of presents throughout the day. At 1pm we headed over to Darren's parents for dinner. We all had a lovely day, very relaxed and easier for me than having everyone to ours!
