29-4-2008 - Wow!! the weight gain. Week 26.2 OkMy mood while writing this blog:
Ok



It's been a bit of an up and down week for me. I am finding I am extra irritable which I have not usually been in pregnancy, not to this degree anyway. I am finding things like kids being rude (not just mine) and people not doing what they say they are going to has really irritated me. I don't like feeling like this and am having to make an extra effort to keep my equilibrium even. Even my husband has copped it from me a few times and I don't usually get tetchy with him. Sorry babe.

Anyway, I went for a midwife appointment yesterday and all was good as gold. My BP was 86/54, still low but not causing any issues. I am weighing in at 59kg (130Lbs). I usually get to 60kg full term but still have 3 months to go. So far I have gained 24Lbs. I guess I am definitely going to be bigger this time around. Baby is head down and had started to descend into my pelvis (D1). I could tell that baby was head down as I had a lot more pressure down there. I had one day where bubs must have been pushing on a funny spot as I got major swelling of the down and unders, not comfortable. I also have a bout of thrush at the moment and am treating it with canesten cream. It seems to be doing the trick as the symptoms are beginning to slowly decline.
I am also experiencing way more BH, more frequent and more intense. I am not concerned about them but am very aware of them.
Check out how big the belly got this week. I think it's partly due to bubs position.



Tonight I have 10 kids over for my daughters birthday. We had a birthday lunch followed by fishing in the rain down at our local jetty and then back home for pizza and movie night. Hopefully they will all be worn out by bed time, although, I am not counting on a quiet night. It's good for them to have a bit of fun.
I am taking the movie distraction to write my blog. They are all being very good.
