04-6-2009 - Update @ 25weeks

My mood while writing this blog: Needing to get busy but happy enough

25 weeks & feeling quite good but have an overwhelming sense of wanting to get things in order ie, having clear out & sorting nursery -

Next week will be my last week @ work as my office is moving to Oxford which is a 2train & 1bus journey & now I am getting a bit bigger it will be quite tiring doing that twice a day so have managed to get a months money out of them & then start maternity in July which is a month earlier than I planned but if the weather here continues the way it has been I'll be glad of it - I am so hot & finding it incredibly difficult to sleep! So am hoping to start painting mine & my girls bedroom the week after next & then get the cot & all my furniture moved in but really don't know what colour I want, I hate pink so I won't be painting it pink but was thinking of green - How many people have started/finished their nurseries? Is green not girly enough?? Was thinking of apple green?

Main gripes of mine this week:

* My back - still bloody hurting, no matter what I do I can't ease the pain or stiffness

* Heartburn - don't know how much longer I can put up with it - I drink about 4 pints of milk daily

* Massive boobs - they are so big that they are obscene now & my nipples are the size of saucers

* Thrush - I have itched myself so much I think I have actually cut myself (sorry but it was driving me to distraction) & am not allowed to take the tablets so have had to put up with the cream which is not the most relieving

Apart from that my bump is progressing nicely & still have no stretchmarks (touch wood) & the baby is a little wriggler, after 10pm she moves about like a little nutter, especially after I have had my nightly cadburys fingers & cup of tea - naughty!
