Please excuse my daft expression...

According to the Alphamom pregnancy calendar, Baby Girl is about 2.5 pounds which means her weight has doubled in the past month alone.  Looking down at my tummy, I do wonder how I am going to fit a baby which is more like 7 or 8 pounds (or more!) – yikes!  Let’s not even think about getting the baby out…

This week, the hormone levels seem to be a bit more even although I do notice that I am generally shorter to temper and more tired so I am sure that is really fun for those around me! Sleeping is generally difficult – or rather getting to sleep – since I can’t sleep on my stomach, I have dreadful restless legs syndrome and I have this baby (INSIDE ME!) who decides that kicking about at 11pm is a hoot.

Tomorrow I have my next midwife appointment.  I have only met this midwife once before at my 24 week appointment since she was having an operation when I had my initial booking appointment and my 16 week appointment was with the consultant at the hospital.  I have to admit I did not take to my midwife at the last appointment – she was rather brusque and rushed.  I know it must get very routine for her but for me, this is my first baby and every appointment is a chance to track my progress and see how I am doing.

There is still no real news on the house front – we have had a few viewings and we have viewed A LOT of houses but until we get a sale agreed there is not much we can do.  We have about 4 or 5 properties which we have viewed which we would be happy to buy, though, so at least we know we have options if and when we ever manage to sell.  In the meantime, we continue to keep it spotless – every morning the bed is laid and dressed (throw cushions, don’t you know) and every piece of clutter is put away. It’s pretty exhausting!

I have set up a new Twitter account for to replace my Mama Says posts – they are must fun to write but I didn’t want to clutter up the blog with silly little posts!
