25+3

Cornflakes consumed - none (craving has changed to porridge)
12 days til dentist
6 weeks exactly til maternity leave. Mmmmmm maternity leave.

Such a nice weekend but Sprog has been worryingly quiet.

Slept so late every day that when I woke up my Baby Bear head was
hurting.

Spent loads of money on nice food, made a complete pig of myself every
day, even managed to have a plod/hop/waddle around town.

We went into a toy shop and had a play with everything that moved and
made a noise. It made me realise that I am going to have a great excuse
to reclaim my childhood. If Sprog turns out to be a girl I am going to
buy every Barbie Doll available?.for me of course!

Pretty much have let the flat go to pot, the crazy desire to hoover and
polish every hour had disappeared a little. The thing is when I sit
down it's just so much hard work to get up back onto my feet. I feel as
though my little body just CANNOT accommodate any more weight gain but
I know its only going to get worse. Might ask Bear to cart me round in
a sack trolley when he's a bit better.

I finally got round to having a long chat with a friend who had her
baby two weeks ago. Could have swung for her when she said "pregnancy
and labour is easy peasy compared to this!".

I can't exactly change my mind now, can I? Besides I didn't keep the
receipt.

It's got cold in the last fortnight (I'm not moaning, better than the
heat) we decided to go shopping for a big thick long woolly cardigan
for the next couple of months. Rather depressing that the only thing
that would fit is a size 18.

My back hurts and sleeping is getting really tricky now. Am still
waking up laying on my bump. Poor old Sprog?..s/he'll come out with a
face like a pancake if I don't stop it. So tired. Boo.

Same old, same old nothing really exciting today
