Well the last few weeks have been slightly different from the rest!! I was really lucky at the start of my pregnancy and did not suffer at all with morning sickness but I turned 12 weeks and it all changed!

Suddenly I became very aware I was pregnant. I began to lose my appetite? And started to become very emotional! The smallest little thing and I would be in floods of tears? Trust me to have it the other way to most woman!!

Lots of worries have been going through my head lately too! I am going to be a single mum, how will I cope?

I am living with parents at the minute but have been on the council list for 2 and half years. I don't seem to be getting anywhere though! I have had been to see the doctor who has wrote a letter about my depression, I bid fortnightly on any properties I can and I am constantly contacting the housing officer! But nothing seems to be working! I cant stay at home with family as there isn't the room and it isn¹t fair on my parents to have to have this added stress to their life! They were just starting to get ready to retire and enjoy their lives!! I cant even start buying things for my baby yet because there is not enough space in my room to store anything!

And what about money!? What benefits will I be entitled to?! so much to think of!!

I on a plus note though I am starting to become very excited about becoming a mummy! Now when I see adverts or programmes with babies I don't have this sudden feeling of jealously and anger I feel warmth, happiness and excitement!

I talk to my belly now as I have read that it can hear me! people look at me like I am mad but I don't care ha ha I cant wait to feel my little bundle of joy move!! Once I feel it move it will be like the icing on the cake! It will make it all finally start feeling more real!
