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!

Or sorry I forgot must be because I am pregnant”

The last week I thought I was going mad. I managed to lose 2 pairs of tweezers and a hair brush.

I was convinced I hadn’t moved them and argued with all the family saying they had stolen things!! Only to find them in a different drawer a few hours later.

Trying to hold down a conversation is a nightmare! You start off talking about something and then forget what you was saying half way through lol When does this stop!?

Had some really sad news this week too. A close friend of mine found out that she had lost her baby. She was about 6-7 weeks less gone than me. I felt awful!! I didn’t know what to say at first to her, I just wanted to hold her and cry with her and tell her how sorry I was for her.

She is a lovely woman that is getting married next year so hopefully things will come right for her and her lovely partner and we will be hearing good news again soon!

Baby bump is growing now slowly but surely. We had a party for my 6 year old nephew and had a few friends round for a bbq. People that I hadn’t seen for a few weeks were shocked at the development! It's great!

Got my scan date through now for my 20 week scan! Can't wait!!!! It will be great to see how much my little squidge has grown.
