Afternoon pregnant people! Welcome lilKel!
JL don't worry, it's still early to be feeling definite movements, especially with your first. I can feel the odd sort of wiggle- feels like the baby's bumping into the walls accidentally. And like a first-time paranoid mother I thought something was wrong at first, now I'm getting used to it. I didn't feel anything till 16wks and it's not at all what I expected.
I've been um-ing and ah-ing about starting a pregnancy journal (I could just copy and paste from here!) so that I can remember all of this through the nappy haze. I also want some pictures of me but I'm so camera-shy it's ridiculous. I love taking pictures, quite a keen amateur photographer but can't face being the other side of the lens. I know my Mum regrets not having her picture taken more when pregnant and I'm determined to be brave about it (DH thinks that a camcorder is going to be factored somewhere into the actual birth- er, guess again!).
Latest indignity in the ShowOfHands household is the inability to wear my own underwear- it's cutting into the bump! Oh the shame, I'm wearing DH's boxers! Honestly, I started to get a blister from my knicker elastic. So, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, nose bleeds and lethargy out of the way, I finally feel attractive and somewhat normal and I'm reduced to borrowing my hubbie's underwear. Pah! Must invest in some maternity knee-to-chin type underwear.
DH seems to have recovered well from the electrocution by fairy lights yesterday. I relented and fetched the tree from the garden where I had unceremoniously chucked it earlier in the day - accompanied by much swearing and banning of Christmas - DH bought more lights and we've finally decorated the tree. I give it three days before our stealth cats have stripped it of trimmings and eaten at least five glass baubles.
Anyway, hope everybody's well and feeling festive.
See you all later...
