Hi all,
Its been another slow, uneventful week..
I have stupidly worn my heals again today for the first time in weeks and realised that it wasn't such a bright idea as my feet and back are now killing me. It has also highlighted how much my ankles have swollen as i can't even do my knee length boots up! Funnily enough one ankle/ foot is much more swollen than the other which does look really funny. The only way to ease this i have found is just soaking my feet when i get home from work in a bowl of warm water with bubbles. While on the subject of feet i am on the brink of giving up wearing socks as i am now really struggling to bend that far to put them on. At the weekend i had to get phil to tie my shoe laces as i just couldn't stretch over the bump. I have figured out a way of doing it although it is very awkward, i simply put my foot on the third step (on my staircase) and push my knee out to the side this way i can lean forward quite far.
As you have grasped by now the bump is still getting bigger. It is at the stage where it is starting to get to me somewhat. I am having absolutely no luck in finding a flattering dress to wear to my sisters graduation & my friends wedding in July. It is soul destroying to go from shop to shop passing the beautiful dresses at the front of the shop to get to the frumpy maternity wear at the back. Smock tops are everywhere which is useful for me but at the same time they are not dressy enough to wear to a wedding. Before anyone starts suggesting really good websites i must also point out that i am restricted somewhat by price as i refuse to spend £60 - £90 for a dress i will only fit into for the next 3 months.
My hormones are definately starting to take over my emotions as Phil is my witness. I have cried alot this week mainly for no reason or silly little reasons. It is extremely hard not to just give in and burst into tears at any given moment.
The wardrobe for the nursery is arriving tomorrow and i have already been to tesco to get some mini coathangers (in pink & purple - god its started already). Apart from that i have eased up somewhat on buying baby stuff. So as i got paid last week i am going shopping on saturday - think i will pass by the baby section in toys R us. My mum bought lots of cute pink clothes last week. I will certainly be able to fill the wardrobe!!!!!
I am starting to get constant thoughts of the birth now. I'm getting slightly freaked out by it all. Funnily enough it hasn't bothered me at all up until this week. But with only 14 weeks to go and being told that technically she can come at any time from now really i suppose has flung me into the realities of it all. I should start to get Braxton Hicks (fake contractions) very soon which i am suspecting will freak me out alot. Started thinking about what i need for my hospital bag. To be honest as long as i have my make-up and hair brush i will be happy though.
Nothing more to say I'm afraid except is it just me or is everyone on the planet pregnant at the moment???? It just seems that everywhere i look there are pregnant women waddling about. Perhaps it is just my heightened awareness of it - who knows.
Anyway i will go and peal these god awful heals from my feet now.
See you next week.
