Becoming obsessed.
I am really starting to enjoy my pregnancy now - I say that with baited breath because new symptoms come and go daily - and good riddance to my morning sickness I do not want that to come back! No thank you!
I generally spend my spare time procrastinating about what I should be doing (you know, like going to the gym, cleaning the flat, keeping in touch with family and friends) and mostly sit on my back side absolutely knackered from my day at work, and spend every moment I can on the internet reading all my favourite blogs looking for inspiration/clarification that what I am feeling is not laziness, but just normal.
Weight wise I have started gaining weight - I know this because I got on the scales about a fortnight ago. (and haven't been back on them since). I still fit into all my old clothes though so despite the weight gain I am still the same size - which isn't too shabby!
This is what being pregnant is all about, you want to be fit and healthy, you want to eat the right food, and you want to be a good wife/girlfriend but with the pressures of work and the tiredness you ultimately end up taking your bra off the moment you get through the door at home, and adopting a horizontal position on something comfortable like a sofa. And there you shall stay until you are either coaxed into doing something like preparing dinner, or are awoken by the husband to let you know you've been snoring all evening and perhaps you ought to get yourself into bed.
I am so tired today that I fell asleep whilst on the toilet, only to be awoken by head butting the toilet roll holder - now that is a first! (and the baby ain't even here yet, how will I cope?)
And of course I am telling anyone who will listen about how much the baby is kicking/how little I am sleeping/how irritable I am becoming.
And then, of course, I feel hormonal/emotional too at times because I am experiencing my pregnancy without the guidance of Mum. And I miss her and wish she was here to see me on my journey.
Biggest year of my life this has been so far, big wedding, baby, new career. It's been such a roller coaster!
I am also obsessed with everything Owl
