Wow - it only feels like 5 minutes ago that I was posting up my Week 30 update!
But here I am at 31 weeks pregnant!
Don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining - I would really like the rest of this pregnancy to go by quickly! It feels like it has been years long already, and now I am getting really bored of it and I just want to meet the baby!!!
Pregnancy Gripes This Week:
*Remember what I said last week about sleeping being difficult?! Well, I hold my hands up - I had NO idea what I was talking about last week! THIS week....THIS is what uncomfortable feels like!!!
I literally dread bedtime because there is just no such thing as comfort any more.
I can only imagine that this is going to get worse and worse over the next 9 weeks.....Oh the joy.
*I have been reasonably lucky up until now with regard to trips to the loo - but apparently Bean has now noticed that he's been missing an opportunity to torture me!!
For the past few days, I have been up and down needing a wee literally every 5 minutes. Sometimes I've no sooner finished washing my hands and I need to go again!
I'm thinking of having a stairlift installed, because hauling my huge pregnant arse up and down the stairs every 5 minutes is no easy task......
*My bump has now become H-E-A-V-Y!! I mean, just look at the picture below, it is seriously starting to resemble a beach ball.
I also now have baby body parts sticking out of me quite frequently - I swear, this child is ALL bones - its constant knees and elbows sticking out left, right and centre!
Nice Pregnancy Things This Week:
*Bean's movements have started to be less painful on the whole - it used to be lots of kicks and bladder jabs, but now it feels more like big rolling sensations - I prefer this and it makes me yelp far less often, which works for me.
*Finally got my medication dramas sorted out so feeling much better about things medically right now - for those of you who may not know, I have a thyroid condition called Graves Disease which makes my pregnancy "High Risk" ... and there have been some problems lately regarding the medication. I'm glad its all been sorted out...at last!!!!
*We got all of Bean's many things (Viewable here if you haven't had a nosey yet!) sorted out into age order and boxed up, so I won't have to go rooting through tons of boxes to find what I'm looking for once he's born - I can just pull out the age appropriate box! :)
*I'm very much looking forward to going to the Baby & Toddler show at Liverpool Echo Arena this weekend! I had been planning on attending anyway, but I found out this week that I have actually won two tickets through a magazine competition I entered - which means I've saved myself the £30 entrance fee!! Yippee!! :)
*I found some local antenatal classes and have signed us up for them, they take place over the weekend of 16-17th March so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I don't go into labour before then! Or should that be keeping my legs crossed.....?!
My 31 week Bump Is Wearing:
T shirt from Heavenly Bump
Leggings from Select
Things To Do This Week:
*32 Week Midwife Appointment - fingers crossed measurements are on track!
* Consultant appointment to discuss the birth options - eeeek!
*Go to the Baby & Toddler show!
*Choose a Moses Basket
*Buy a baby bath
Well that's all from me & Bean for now!
