I've been feeling lucky - my sickness hasn't been that bad so far touch wood. Unfortunately, something happened and set it off quite badly for the last week. I find that eating and not eating makes me feel equally bad! Its hard eating but I have to make myself eat really small meals to keep energy up. I find that the aftertaste I get makes things worse. I've had skittles, mints and gum to try and help but it doesn't last for very long.

Well, serves me right for saying I was feeling ok - It all turned and I feel like I've been kicked about! I have terrible stomach aches, I get nasty period-type cramps, I've felt really sick and have had bad headaches, unbelieveable exhaustion etc.. I feel sick when I eat, and even sicker when I don't! I shouldn't moan, I'm so, so grateful for this but surely I'm allowed to whinge a tiny little bit?!

Well, here I am. Got 3 month scan on Thursday. Shitting myself a bit to be honest after what happened last time. Also over did it at work yesterday and now I have pains so I'm quite bothered and don't know what to expect. I'll updte my page to see later in the week.
I feel smothered by the inlaws. They want copies of scan photos and I just don't want them having them - I feel like they will claim a bit of it and own it and parade around with a photo of my baby crowing to everyone and as daft as it sounds - I just dont want this to happen. Its MY baby (well, and the Misters of course!) and I dont want them being like this to me. Maybe I'm being hormonal and OTT preggers woman, but I don't want them to have a photo and I don't know how to deal with them. They always find a way to mingle into my life - whether on the train into work he gets on and sits next to me, or they come and knock on my door as we live close by. Or they do things and the hubby doesn't turn around and say NO and stand up for me.
I guess i should be grateful. I know there are lots of people out there that would love their support and kindness, but its just too much and I can't stand it. I feel suffocated and it upsets me.

YEAH!!!!!!! had 12 week scan this morning. It was FANTASTIC! Lazy baba wouldn't move for photos and measurements, so sonographer had to give my belly some sharp taps to get him/her to move in place! Got a fantastic photo. I'm over the moon!!!!

Just a quick update. Had my booking in this morning. Midwife and trainee visited my house and went over everything. I heard babys heartbeat also which was amazing. I can't beleive blib is already moving around and kicking me! I get really strange bubble like feelings and she said it was the baby. Its so active sometimes I'm astonished as its supposed to happen later on - but its defo. baby kicking about. I can't beleive it! I felt first flutter 2 weeks ago on the train into work, and i thought 'oh whats that' and then its happened a few times since, but over the last 3 days baby has been going mad kicking about! Its not hard enough to hurt and see, but its there thumping away and its very disctinctive. I don't look that pregnant yet, I just look like i started on the christmas pudding early...! but having said that its harder to walk and i get out of breath quicker and get twinges if i walk too much.
Anyway, for everyone who celebrates Christmas - Merry Christmas, and for eveyrone else - I wish you all well and hope 2008 brings you luck and joy x

Hey. I haven `t been here for ages. Quick update... Baby is doing well so far, kicking me and swirling around. i just love it and feel very lucky and grateful for this gift. I can `t wait to meet my little one. Going to the baby show in Docklands (London) on Friday and will hopefully get myself a 4d scan booked so I can see his/her little face so I can `t wait for that! On the negative side, feeling really frumpy and fat. Being a `larger lady ` anyway I `ve heard people sniggering behind me `cor look at the size of her, she looks pregnant `. so far I haven `t been able to turn around and say... actually.. I am you rude person. My bump `s not massive, so I do look like a fatty with a bigger then usual stomach, but then again, people that know me can see im obviously pregnant. I think it also depends on the clothes I wear. The inlaws are driving me bonkers. Don `t get me started on that one... There isn `t the room here!!I have quite a lot of aches and pains. I have SPD, although so far luckily its not as bad as some, and as long as i watch what i do, Im coping ok. I have carpul tunnel syndrome (wrist and ankle swelling/pains) so i feel like i have chinese burns all the time which is really uncomfortable, espesh as i have a desk job with a lot of typing. Sleeping is a nightmare but hey... i wouldn `t change it for the world. i am truely grateful, i know the other side of the coin and i feel truely humbled for this experience and i can `t wait to meet my little one.I go on maternity leave on 12 May for a whole year! Im worried what ill do with my time and how i `ll cope, but i guess i `ll deal with that when i cross it. For now i have plenty to think about and plan!! take care all xx

30 working days until I go on leave!!! yay
It's hard being preggers but I dont regret one single second, even with my nasty SPD, swolen legs, back ache, stuffy nose and heartburn!! I would do it ten times over for this wonderful gift. My special baby xxx
