.. OK, so I'm in the final week or so (I hope) of being pregnant, and have tried to amuse myself with thinking of the things that I said I'd do, but just haven't been bothered to do while pregnant.
I imagined I'd be all energised and wanting to be healthy. I bought yoga DVDs, pilates DVDs.. I haven't even played one of them. Haha. I emailed about going to yoga classes, but nope... didn't go. I've carried on swimming and did normal exercise classes until 20 something weeks, but no yoga or calming breathing type exercise.
I told myself I'd be really good at food. I'd only eat healthily... again, nope - I'm eating mostly pastry and chocolate. I had a big fruit phase which has lessened, but is still there a bit - but I've also had a really big icecream phase throughout. I've totally indulged.
I thought I'd be resting a lot, in a productive way - knitting or similar. I'm looking now at my inch long 'blanket' in the bag next to 5 balls of really expensive wool and knowing it'll never get done. I've been resting a lot in a non productive way. Ie, reading Buzzfeed and the Daily Mail on line.
I was going to carry on being sociable, no worries - I could keep going to bars and parties etc. But nope... pretty much not been anywhere sociable in 9 months. Seeing people on a very small group basis is fine, but anything else has been just exhausting.
I was going to document the process with photos every week. I think I've taken about 3 of my bump, most of them in a jokey way. I haven't talked to the baby (it's still an abstract concept for me I think), haven't played it music or read it stories. Poor neglected thing.
You?
