It's been nearly a month!

Hi there! 28 weeks pregnant tomorrow! wahoo!

I have just realised it has been nearly a month since I last wrote a post on here. This has been partly due to the Easter Holidays and having little man at home for two weeks but also due to some problems with the pregnancy. The baby is doing great at the moment and is still very active kicking around in there but my body has taken a bit of a bashing as I am suffering with SPD (sound like one of the SPD power rangers as little man has told me lol) Symphasis Pubis dysfunction and Sciatica on top of that (ouch!)

It seems to be getting worse as the days go by but I refuse to let it put a downer on me as all in all I feel quite alright within my mind etc...(except the short temper lol) Bedtimes are bit of a nightmare as I get stuck if I role on to my back or try to get up without doing it the right way. My other half when he is at home and not at work has to basically lift me up and turn me as my legs completely stop working and you can here the bones in my lower back and pelvis grinding ouch! lol It also feels like someone has kicked me in the front area as it feels very bruised. I also get stuck if i sit back on the sofa, sit for to long or if I stand for too long my legs start to give way.

Not much going for my body at the moment eh? lol I must say that I am not the thinnest of people and I do carry some weight without the baby being there but seeing as I cannot walk very far at the moment does not look like I have much chance of loosing any lol

Apart from this though I have had the pleasure of having little man at home recently for the Easter hols and I really missed him when he went back to school lol (I know I hear the "she must be mad!" statements lol)

Other half has become increasingly lovable the last couple of weeks, giving me lots of cuddles and trying so hard to be patient with me when I'm moaning about something silly such as "why can't boy's just put the toilet seat down" lol

I seem to have the knack of moaning greatly about anything and everything lately and only realising what I am saying about a day later lol I don't mean to moan but everything just seems to annoy me lately lol

I also have this tendency to forget things like names, simple words and even forgot to give little man his medication the other day and that is not like me at all! I felt a right useless thing then lol

Some people have said that it's due to the pregnancy and I have to agree with those who say that you must lose brain cells during pregnancy because mine have definitely decreased lol

Any way since I did say I would write back every other day when I started this blog I feel it necessary to change that plan to perhaps once a week as who knows what's going to happen between now and the next post hehe!

Having another scan this week plus my first session of physio. Also little man has another assessment for his suspected autism and he is doing his SATS this week bless him. (Cant help but feel he is just too young for all the work he has to do) but hey! can't change the school system single hand idly lol

Bye for now! :0)

Hi everyone!

Had my 3rd scan yesterday! :0) It's still a boy! lol

They had to check the heart and face as they could not see it well the last time. It took them an hour to get it and also in between this they made me eat chocolate to get the baby to move into another position which to be quite fair I wasn't to happy about the idea of him moving anymore that day as the little boxer had been keeping me up all night punching away lol 3am I last looked at the clock lol

Anyhow he looked sweet and the pics we got were fantastic (got 4 because two different people scanned me in the end hehe!)

Here are some of the pics!

You can even see part of his brain on the first couple! Amazing!

This is my bump at 24 weeks old!

My friend who loves designing things made this pic for me as I kept talking about the little bump being such a boxer! I thought this was hilarious!

Thanks Dean!

Anyhow very excited now and the baby's nursery is filling up fast already lol Think I might need to invest in another wardrobe for him but seeing as the room is quite small I'm not sure where I would put it lol

My little man found out he's got into the Junior school he wanted so he's really excited and keeps going on about it bless him! Keep telling him he's got so much to happen before he goes but he seems to think it's next week i'm sure lol

Looking forward to all the Easter events coming up and spending time with little man for two whole weeks wahoo!

I'm Back! :0)

Hi there! Have not posted for a week as had to have a rest from all the work I've been doing and had some early nights too as been very worn out from the pregnancy and also chilled out by my fave therapeutic activity of designing.

I designed some art work for the baby nursery as times are hard hehe! and thought it could save some pennies on the decor hehe! Had a great time doing it and little man even helped! Here are some of the pics!

Think they look alright and I have also done some jungle ones for the other wall which have not taken a picture of yet.

Looking forward to my next scan (3rd one!) on Thurs as will get another piccy hopefully and me and the other half decided on a boys name at last but will keep it to our selves for as long as we can hehe!

Planning lots of things to do with little man during Easter hols next week! There so much on I don't know if I will be able to keep up lol

Well that's it for now as it's getting late and the bump is kicking like mad for me to lay down lol

Night night! :0)

A mix of double glazing, scary dentist etc...

I awoke this morning with another of my raging tooth aches. What with being preggers paracetamol does not do the trick so was left fearing another dental fright at the emergency service coming my way! Have been trying to get a dentist for quite some time and am on a waiting list at the moment.

Last week I visited the emergency dentist at QEQM which without putting anyone off a very scary experience. Apart from the pain I experienced the rudeness of the dentist made me upset what with the pregnancy hormones and adrenaline from the numbing injection! He moaned at me for not having a dentist when I am 5months pregnant. I felt like the most irresponsible mother ever grrr! Could still feel the pain even whilst I had to wait in the waiting room whilst they saw three more people and I thought I was going to swallow my tongue where I could not feel it. lol Obviously you can't actually swallow your tongue like that but that did not stop me panicking and when I started to cry the nurse came up to me and asked me if it was the hormones argh! couldn't believe it! Then she passed me a huge box of tissues and said I might need them for a while lol

Anyhow he called me back in then he tried to clean up my broken tooth which as he started still felt pain full and had to stop so he just gave me a temporary filling and some antibiotics.

After 7 days of taking the antibiotics the pain was still there so this morning after phoning around managed to get an appointment at the Newington dental practice which thankfully went much better and she managed to do more with the tooth this time. Any how need root canal treatment which will have to wait now till the bump has been delivered lol Looks like I need to get the paracetamol in stock lol (Midwife has said this won't cause baby problems!)

In between all this the double glazing people turned up today and started the windows Wahoo!

Was sitting doing work on the comp and saw bits of windows flying past me outside lol Had to wear my dressing gown too because the front door was open all day and the window was obviously open all day lol Good job they finished before the rain came hehe!

Little man was picked up by Grandma and Grandpa after school so it meant I got a rest after the dental scare plus did not have to do the tea wahoo! lol

Happy mums Day! - Funny mum song

Happy mothers day to all!

I woke up this morning to hear daddy getting little man up by saying quick its mummys day today remember weve gotto go downstairs quick! Lol

I then get a coffee in bed and as I stagger down the stairs still trying to wake up I realise I have not put my contacts in so grab the glasses.

Little man passes me some lovely flowers and a card he's made me from school plus a big box of choccies and a card from big man telling me he thinks I am a great mum and he could not wish for a better person to be his children's mum. AWWWWWW! Bless (what a creep hehe!) It was lovely though and very nice to feel appreciated!

Got ready and said goodbye to big man as he had worked last night and needed sleep so me and little man were going to church by ourselves. The minibus picked us up and it was full of lots of mummy's and kiddies lovely!

Got to church and they did a great mothers day for us!
First we did a bit of worship singing with the band.
They they showed us a small video on the cinema screen (Our church is held at the Vue Cinema at present.) The video was of the glo kids(Sunday school type group) They all said things about why they loved their mums and it was so cute. Little man snuggled up with me which was lovely. next they talked about mums from the bible and how we should honour our mums etc...

The band then sang a song called 'you are so beautiful to me' for all us mummy's which was fab.

It was a lovely special mummy service!

Before it finished they showed us a great video clip of a mum singing this fab song about being a mum! Which I thought I would share with you all why mums our special!(Dads are too, but they will have to wait till June for their day hehe!)

Mom song!
