27w3d

I am starting to feel like time has stopped a little.  I feel like I have been in the 20's for ages yet my 20week scan feels like forever ago! Still 2 and half weeks till I hit the 30week mark.

Don't get me wrong I absolutely love being pregnant.  So far I have been one of the lucky ones, I get the occasional round ligament pain when I am walking too fast but other than that nothing really.  A little bit of constipation every now and again but I know its because I haven't drunk enough water the day before. I am a little low on sleep, probably getting about 4 hours solid now which is better than two weeks ago when I was getting perhaps 2 hour solid and short stints throughout the night.  There is the weight gain but I am not overly fussed about that I know once bub is born I can deal with that then. I am walking daily again which is nice, its nice to have the time again, I just leave work on time, I am 7 months pregnant I don't know why I am the one breaking my back when everyone else isn't putting in 60% effort!  My diet is good, but just way too many carbs for me but I can't help it!!! lol Normally to maintain my weight I can't have any carbs after lunch and even then I usually only have them for breakfast.  Having them for breakfast, lunch and dinner is a freight train of weight straight to my butt! lol

I can feel my stomach growing now. The skin is starting to feel really stretched. I really have to try and get around to taking a photo to see if it has actually grown or its just my imagination!

Peanut has been really active lately.  I can really pick up on the sleep cycles.  Seems to be 20-30mins awake, 20-30mins asleep. Today my belly has changed shape so I think its moved out of the transverse position but I know thats its favorite spot so I know it will go back there.  I am going to start doing some exercises to help it move into a better position.  I just have to find the time.  DH has finally gotten some work in the door so I am back to cooking again.  It was nice while it lasted :) I don't mind though its great that his business is actually starting to take off.

In the due Sept group they are starting to talk about packing their hospital bag and things.  I don't think I am at this stage yet! 12weeks is still a long time in my mind.  I was thinking perhaps around 34weeks I would pack it? Will see I guess. I mean I haven't even started Antenatal classes yet! Thats not for another 2 weeks.

My boss is back to work next week so it will be nice to be able to sit back a bit. well for at least 4 weeks until she goes away again! lol. Hopefully I will be OK in those last two weeks she is away. I need to look into a closer car park here at work.  its about a 10min walk from the car park to the office. Its a big campus. I can imagine when I get up to 34+ weeks it might get a bit harder to walk. Then again it might not.  My biggest worry is going into labour at work! I don't want to go straight to the hospital when I go into labour, I want to work through it a bit myself at home, have a shower etc I think this is what they recommend anyway, but if I am at work, WTF do I do, I don't want to go straight to the hospital! Its 40mins to get back to my place thats bit too far. Only 20mins to the hospital. Fingers crossed bub doesn't come that early!

DH and I have decided to get some 3D/4D scans done, probably get them done in that first week in July.  Excited about that!

Well I am once again blabbering so I should probably go do some work!
