Bit of a scare
Posted on 3:36pm Friday 15th August 2008
It’s been a real rollercoaster of a week, and undoubtedly the most scary.

Well no sooner have I updated my blog for the last week, finally finished the decorating, got the house in order, and my waters break a month early!

Pregnancy brain
Posted on 4:39pm Friday 15th August 2008
What is that all about! I would like to apologise to all the woman out there that I thought was crazy and attention seeking when they said things like “sorry pregnancy brain!

Will be HUGE?
Posted on 4:04pm Friday 15th August 2008
Bump is becoming increasingly active and growing at a rate of knots, I am as big now as I was at 9 months with baby one; I was advised that I would be a bit bigger second, but I’m worried I’m carrying a 10lb baby around, luckily at the moment it is all bump and has not spread elsewhere (Yet!!!).

This week I’m 21 weeks and I had my scan. I last had my scan when I was 14 weeks and to see the changes in baby is incredible – he has grown so much.

Well, we’re now into week 16 or, as I’d rather say, at the start of the fifth month. Nearly half-way through - hooray!

Shock and disbelief
Posted on 4:02pm Friday 15th August 2008
We went to a BBQ at the weekend where much of my time was spent defending my decision to have our children so close to each other and my decision to return to work which was met by a mixture of disbelief and horror.

What a difference a week makes
Posted on 3:33pm Friday 15th August 2008
At last I am over the sleeplessness that has dominated the last couple of weeks - thank goodness - and the general fuzzy headed pregnancy feeling seems to be lessening.

I read on a pregnancy website this week that mum to be doesn't really gain any more weight from now until the baby is born.

Interesting
Posted on 4:01pm Friday 15th August 2008
‘Bump’ is doing well, moving loads and big sister is becoming increasingly interested in what’s growing inside and is regularly burying her head into my tummy or slapping it to wake the baby up to feel her moving.

Hooray for air con and fans
Posted on 3:43pm Friday 15th August 2008
Hooray for air conditioning and fans!! I can’t imagine life without them now. I wish England would adopt the very civilised tradition of siestas when the weather is this hot. The reduced energy levels when you’re pregnant are tough at the best of times but in this heat, everything is even more of an up hill struggle. Would they notice if I slid under my desk for a couple of hours at lunch time?!
