22w3d

What a busy week.  Work is so crazy! I have had a conference the last couple of days, and its only going to get worse getting back into the office tomorrow.

Pregnancy wise everything is going great.  I have to say I love being pregnant :) I do get tired and my back hurts sometimes etc but when peanut kicks its so all worth it.  I have to say I think I am having a very good pregnancy. The migraines are the hardest, they can knock me out completely some days and I am in bed and throwing up. But its usually only a day at a time and I try to lie there and feel peanut kick away and I know its all worth it.  I am sure the 3rd trimester will be a bit harder, but I am definitely enjoying things at the moment.

My bbs have a few more purple stretch marks, its OK I'm keeping up with the bio oil. They are some how continuing to grow and still hurt lol.  I thought that was supposed to stop. Belly is still good with no stretch marks there are some little veins appearing but thats it.  I am sure they will make their appearance.

13 weeks until maternity leave now.  Can't believe it. Its coming around so fast! 5 weeks till I drop down to 4 days a week!!!!

The only issue I am having and this is WAY TMI!!!!!!!!  But I think its an anal fissure yep charming.  But there is sometimes some bright red blood when I pass a bowel movement.  At first I would FREAK out at the sight of blood but when I work out where its from my heart settles.  I have started taking extra fiber so hopefully that starts to help.  I am not concerned its anything else, I have no pain and its bright red, not dark so its very close to the surface and the exit. I have no pain or anything like that so it should go after the baby is born.

Oh the other things is my belly ring.  The new ring has caused a bit of an infection :( very red and sore.  I have started a cleaning regime, haven't had to do that since I got it pierced when I was 16. Starts off with a antibacterial wash and then drying with a tiny bit of methylated spirits. Hopefully it clears up in a couple of days if not I will just remove it.  I can't go back to the normal ones and the long plastic maternity one is my only option.  It moves a lot so I think its all the movement and rubbing that caused the infection.

Well thinking about bed time.  Some emails to write and then a nice long shower and sleep.  Still getting up around 6 times a night to pee.  its warming me up for the 3rd trimester insomnia. I am getting used to the lack of sleep, although the girls at work are finding my pregnancy brain very funny!

Night night!
