24+0 (and fed up)

I'm fat. I'm tired. I'm grumpy

I woke up in pain yesterday, which gave me a good excuse to not go to
work. Bad Baby Bear

But it was pretty scary, every time I bent down to pick something up,
there was a really sharp pain across the top my bump.

I phoned the midwife who popped over and she said I should take the
rest of the week off and because I have Monday and Tuesday off as
holiday anyway, there's ages to go before I have to think about work
again.

I feel like my body has gone mad again. I have really swollen up around
the middle again, like literally over night and Sprog has gone mad with
the kicking and the punching. When I lie in bed my bump actually moves
around like it has a mind of its own.

The midwide said that I have to go for a Glucose Tolerance Test in a
couple of weeks because of suspected diabetes. This involves starving
myself for the day and then drinking pints and pints of sugary liquid,
then hanging around for a few hours in a waiting room until they are
ready to stick a needle in my arm.

Then they will probably tell me that I can't eat ANY pick n mix
anymore.

I am really tired. I think I have overdone it today. I have been
sniping at Bear all day (who managed to put together the new bouncy
chair, without the instructions because I threw them away!) and the
poor dog is terrified of me after I kicked his arse out of the bedroom
because he was in my way.

Really am going to have to start slowing down. But Baby Bears were
never that good at sitting still. They have to keep there paws
busy.

Have a good bank holiday. BB xxx
