Hi Everyone
17+4 Thanks for all the Birthday wishes last week. I had a great day. Only had to go into work for the morning, so went and did a bit of retail therapy (well some more maternity bras and bits for baby). We went out for a meal in the evening, which was lovely too.
As for bump names, mine has been called Blob. Not too exciting there, sorry. I've been having lots of flutterings. I forgot how weird it is to have a conversation with someone while these are going on and keep a straight face!!!
I too am struggling in the evenings with feeling tired. It's been hard as I'm studying part time at the moment (training to be a teacher) the tutorials are in the evening, so by the time I get in, I just grunt at my other half and climb into bed.
I now look almost like I've got a bump, instead of looking like I'm fat!!!!! I was queuing for the loo in the shopping centre yesterday with my coat undone and this old lady let me go before her because she remebered what it was like being pregnant and trying to hold on. Bless her!!!
As for maternity pay/leave, I'm not sure yet what I'm doing because I only work part time at the moment and with studying too. It also comes down to school budgets, as a teaching assistant I'm employed on a termly basis, so it all depends on the funding. Will know more after Easter, when it all comes through for the next school year but the Head can't see a problem and he's really great and understanding.
Hope everyone is feeling well and not too tired. Chat with you soon.
