More of the same this week. Aches, pains and tiredness. Darren has been sleeping in the spare room so both of us get the chance of a good night's sleep.
Saw the midwife on Wednesday, and all is good. Infact, she said my blood pressure was perfect and my urine sample was the clearest she'd ever seen. I might as well be as proud of that as anything else!
The baby's heartbeat was really clear and strong, and it was great to hear it.
Got my MatB1 form and have informed work I will be leaving on 5th May - a week before the section is planned on the 12th. I'm hoping a week will be enough to do last minute panicking and rushing about. Actually, I am really hoping to have a week off from everything and enjoy a couple of days peace while Stefan is in the nursery.
Stefan and I went swimming on Thursday in Westgates hydrotherapy pool. It was brilliant - like taking an extra big, extra warm bath! I was really surprised at how confident Stefan was in the water. He was even standing on the side and jumping in. I was very impressed for a 21 month old. I had to keep my wits about me though, as he was showing no fear, whether I was watching or not, he just threw himself in.
Even though I had a good report from the midwife, I've still had a couple of sleepless nights when I've been pacing the living room trying to feel the baby kick. It was very quiet for a couple of days, and things always seem magnified during the night. I have since felt movement, thankfully, as I'm not sure I could take anymore sleepless nights.
Baby must have needed the sleep. It's back on footballing form now.
Bump is looking rather impressive too.
