Baby bump: this week baby is the size of a butternut squash weighing around 2.5lb.
What's happening this week: this week has been emotional, whoever said pregnancy was all fluffy has never carried. Worries about money, leaving work, getting everything ready, giving birth. You name it I've stressed about it but all this is perfectly normally.
Making sure you deal low periods by talking to your other half, friends & family will help you get perspective again, do something you enjoy and thinking positive is the way forward.
I chose to go for a meal with my bestie and Stu has been looking after me with bubbly baths and cuddles.
Purchases:
We visited the Mothercare Outlet this weekend which is full of the normal mothercare products with great discounts but it really is a get it when you see it as there arnt always loads of the item and they might not be there next time you go to shop.
My first find, very luckily was the changing bag on my with list.
This was a great find and the only one there, it was reduced to £38.50 from £55.
I also got a maternity bra reduced from £16 to £8 and some nursing bras one black, one White reduced to £13 from £26. So worth the visit.
There wasn't any baby boy clothes I liked or in the right sizes this visit but we will go again.
Sleep: very very little. I have struggled to get comfy which lead to me having a childlike paddy and cry. I've researched on the net the best position to lie is on my left hand side and I've had a pillow between my legs, under my bump a small one under my bum and two for my head to raise me up slightly.
Best moment: Father's Day. The kids wrote some cute messages in their cards, we went to The Village Hotel for a Sunday carvery. It was so good my only problem was I couldn't get enough vegetables on my plate!
Movement: lots of strong movements and little man has been causing me some very uncomfortable moments when I've been walking, feeling like I need to cross my legs to hold him in.
Food cravings / aversions: I'm loving vegetables, cabbage, carrots, swede biazzare.
Symptoms: more bouts of heartburn, tummy going hard when I walk and feeling stabbing pains down below. I was sick on Thursday I was wondering if it was from the iron tablets.
Shortness of breath is more frequent.
Emotions: very teary, sad and upset. I think lack of sleep has a lot to do with it.
What I miss: sleep!!
What I'm looking forward to: the ten week countdown.
How the family is doing: Stu is very good, loving and patient with me even when I'm moody and teary. He deserves a medal.
