25-8-2009 - 26 weeks

My mood while writing this blog:
Happy, relaxed, excited

Wow another week down.

I'm 26 weeks today and have 14 more weeks to go! Yay I'm so excited that in something like 98 days give or take a few I will meet my little man.

So this week I have been felling ok. The insect bites I got last week are now clearing up. My arm did swell to double it's size and was so itchy but all better now:) However I am dealing with another horrid skin condition! SUN BURN:( Yes all down to me. Was out on sunday with my best mate. We were at honey dale farm at a great bootfair and thats where it happened. At least my bump was not exposed to sun:) I'm just using loads of banana boat Aloe vera gel which smells lush.

I have almost got everything for my little man:) Thanks to the help of my friends and family. His pram will be del on 2nd Nov and the rest I have at home and at a friends. I have got a lot of bargains this time round. I just cant wait to use them all.

My bump seems to have popped out alot and everyone everywhere will ask me when I'm due. I have been a little low about all the weight I have gained. Dont get me wrong I love my bump but its everywhere els I'm hating:( My arms are even bigger. The thing I hate most is my massive boobs :( I can't wait to they go down. Baby is still busy moving around. I'm guessing his running out of space now. His kicks are hard and sometimes make me jump lol. I do love watching my belly move about.

So I'm planning on having my 4D scan around week 30 as I want great pics. I have my midwife appointment on the 2nd Sep just b4 the kids head back to school and my 3 hr GTT on the 8th :( Will keep u all posted.

Hope everyone is doing well. Luv u all Claire.xx

sunburn is easy done when you are just walking around instead of laid out on the beach. Keep drinking loads of water to help heal up your skin from the inside. Bet you're glad its overcast today. xx

Try using Noxzema for your sunburn.. apply it and dont rinse it off let it absorb into your skin so reapply every once in a while. I swear by this and it works miracles. I'm the whitest person ever so I burn easily and normally my burns last for a really long time. But I used Noxzema a few months back when I burned REALLY bad while being pregnant and not kidding overnight the burn and itch and everything was out of it and I still have a great tan.

i had the sun burn problem when i was around 3-4 months. my tan still hasn't fully gone away!! lol. it was that bad. my knees were swollen and so burnt they throbbed and i was literally crying sometimes & i couldn't go to the bathroom without being in pain for like a week. i also think my baby is running out of room cuz his kicks tend to either hurt & scare me or just one or the other. lol. when i'm lying on my side in bed he kicks at my side & makes it tickle. i will lie there and laugh and my husband will be like what are you laughing at? lol. it's so amazing to feel. then when i'm sitting up he runs his feet across my upper belly and kicks at me pretty hard. i just love the feeling. but it does take me by surprise alot. glad to hear you have most of your stuff. my shower is this sunday so i'm excited. and it should turn out to not be so bad after all. i think i just psyched myself out a bit. tho the people i want most to be there can't because of college or work or they're sick. i wanted all my prego friends to be there cuz we're so close in due dates & only one will be there. the other is pretty sick & the other has a test to study for. and i feel for you on the boobs. i barely had any with my first like so much people used to make fun of me cuz i had none. tho i did they were just dumb ya know kids in jr just like to make fun of people. but once i got prego with him they went up to b's and then didn't go away and now i'm up to c's & they don't fit into anything. i'm going crazy. i hate them so much. haha sorry i typed so much. once i start it's hard to stop. but i hope your appointments and everything go well. i have mine on thursday. i'm excited. :)

Make sure with the sun burn you keep yourself hydrated. It can dehydrate you rather quicklly which can cause you to have contractions. Congrads on getting all you need. Sometimes I wonder if we have enough. Have you picked any names yet?
