Summer week 11

Sorry if i put anyone off the idea of pregnancy last week as things are definately better this week.
Monday morning started very well and i realised that the sickness has subsided!!! yay.
Everything is not quite perfect yet though. My boobs ache like hell (still the same size though!) and my appetite is not fully back to normal but at least i can eat without wanting to throw up which is a move in the right direction.
The only new thing i am experiencing this week is heart palpitations. Not sure if this is a pregnancy thing or very unrelated but they started on monday and have got worse throughout the week (had 15 today already and it is only 2.30pm).
Going to the doctors tomorrow to get it checked out just to be on the safe side but i am sure its just a hormonal or anxiety thing.*
Starting to get excited now. I have the main scan on the 21st Feb and as long as everything is ok i will be going shopping with my mummy for the first of the baby stuff.
My sister went to NY last week and got baby henden an i heart NY babygrow - how cute!!!
Anyway things are definately better this week but the myth about pregnant women losing brain cells is definately true i'm afraid!
* Have been to docs today and these heart things do not seem to be pregnancy related. Have to have an ECG and blood tests next week which will hopefully get to the bottom of it.

What a novel idea

Those that follow my social media pages will know that I have decided to write a novel. This is a first step in my year of DOING things instead of just TALKING about them. Strangely I am finding this more terrifying than step two which is skydiving (coming to a blog near you in June). Why a novel? I hear you ask, well this has been a little burning ambition of mine since school. English was my favourite class and Mr Clay, my English teacher, was my inspiration teacher (you know, that one teacher that you always remember fondly and really got into your head and affected you). I remember reading Shakespeare and Thomas Hardy - far from the madding crowd holds a special place in my heart - and just getting it. I disappeared into these books and just thought it was amazing how they could transport you into another world and how you end up having real feelings for these fictional characters. When I left school I had ideals of becoming a journalist and use my love of writing, I even vol...

Do what makes you most happiest...

This is something I have long forgotten but something I am aiming to rectify. I have been looking inwardly for a while now as I realised I have lost myself a bit. I have spent so long being mum, wife, councillor, chauffer, chef, cleaner, dog walker business owner etc etc etc (you get the idea) that I don't really know who I am anymore or what makes me tick. My son asked me last Mothers day what I would like to do as it was 'my day' - I honestly couldn't answer and my 11 year old boy just said "that's really sad". He was absolutely right, that is sad! When did I just stop living my own life to serve everyone else? I like to paint and have recently made time to complete a run of adult paint by numbers to decorate my living room with. I also started doing acrylic paintings and watching some Bob Ross for inspiration. This is a good start but I'm not passionate about it. Today I remembered what I used to be passionate about and that was writing so I am back...

Summer week 22

What a week its been. Last saturday i managed to throw my back out cutting my hedges back. This was probably not the most intelligent thing i have ever done and probably not the kind of job a pregnant lady should be doing but it seemed like a good idea at the time. So for the last week i have been hobbling around like a 90 year old and it takes me a got 5 minutes to stand up from a seated position. The good thing that came out of this is that i now admit defeat and may start to take it easy like i have been told. I can't bear another week of pain like this. The worst part is that i cannot even take anything for the pain - not even deep heat. Had my nephew stay over on saturday night. He is only 5 but is one of the most enchanting kids i have ever met. So i got in some practice. Think Phil has some things to learn about patience but apart from that he is great with him too. Back to my baby and the news that everyone was waiting to hear (i suspect not). I had the scan yesterday an...
