My mood while writing this blog: in pain!

All my weekly pregnancy stage updates say I might be experiencing symptoms such as leg cramps - well that's an understatement! I keep waking with excruciating leg cramp and this leaves my legs feeling sore and painful to walk on all day. That coupled with the pelvic pain makes getting out of bed really difficult. I've been told to drink more water, eat less salt and eat more bananas, so I'm currently giving that a go... watch this space!

I'm feeling (and looking) really huge much earlier this time, which I guess is causing the extra strain on my body. I can't believe I'm at that milestone 24 weeks already, but that I still have 16 weeks to go, maybe more. It sounds like forever, even though I know it will fly by. Three more weeks and I'll be in the third trimester, OMG, that's when the baby comes! But then in the meantime I'm not sure if I'll be able to cope with the commute and long days at work for another three months if this continues.

Not much else to report really. We've been too busy to continue clearing out what will be the baby's room, although I'm still having fun buying things to go in it. I don't really have much else to buy now, just essentials later on and maybe a few more cute little first baby outfits - I just can't resist!

Back soon. :)
