My mood while writing this blog: Happy Mummy To Be

Hello ladies

Happy 25 weeks to me! Only 15 weeks to go and only 71 days until I finish work. I'm sooooo excited!

Ok here's my update for the last week. Friday I went to work as happy as Larry and half way through the morning I started having really horrible scary pains in my belly. I went to the loo (thinking it may be constipation) and that didn't seem to help so I got myself in a right panic thinking I was going into preterm labour. They were strange pains that just didn't feel right, like shooting pains going all up my stomach. Anyway, I went over to see my mum in her office and she calmed me down. I booked the afternoon off work and sat in the garden and relaxed and they just went away and I haven't had any more pains since then thank goodness! It really shook me up but I am assuming it was just a one off and hoping it doesn't happen again.

Saturday was Steve's track day, we got up at 7am and drove to York and the weather was amazing. We had such a fantastic day, I got to sit in an Audi R8 worth about £90k just because I was pregnant - I got a few perks. Then Steve drove a Lambourgini worth £168k!!! It was gorgeous and he loved every minute of it. We both now want a sports car each but that's not going to happen is it!

Sunday we went out for dinner with Steve's parents and grandparents which was ok but I don't feel the same about them anymore and don't really enjoy spending time with them.

We've had the loss adjuster round following our leak in the bathroom last week and we can claim for some of it but not all of it. The new bathroom suite is coming on the 16th so hopefully by the end of June the new bathroom will be at least started if not finished, I can't wait for it all to be done. My brother in law is doing it for us and he's a complete perfectionist so we know it will look fantastic.

Over the past week I've started to suffer from heartburn and backache but I'm not complaining, it's all worth it. Baby Hudson is still really active and I never get bored of being kicked by him/her.

I have my 25 week midwife appointment tomorrow, I can't wait to see what I'm measuring at and finally get my MATB1 form so I can officially let work know what my leaving date is. We are also collected the pram in 5 weeks, can't wait to have a go at practising with that.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Lots of love from Helen and baby Hudson. xxx
