The Moans and Groans of Week 26

122.

Week 26 and the third trimester is slowly creeping up!! Meaning baby girl isn't far away from making her dramatic entrance!! 

There's just a few things I want to talk about. Pregnancy is a very exciting time but there are annoyances...

I LOVE when she kicks, absolutely love it, however, there are times of the day and places in my body where her kicks aren't as appreciated. These being while I'm trying to get to sleep and her kicks that feel so low down I could almost shake her hands and feet! Oo they are uncomfortable kicks I tell ya! And when these types of kicks happen at the time I'm trying to drift off, well, it's just ANNOYING haha. 
I love when she kicks me during the day, it's like a little hello every now and again, they kinda make me realise that I have this beautiful human growing inside of me yet it feels so bizarre. Something I wouldn't know how to explain. Occasionally when she's kicking my belly looks like it's doing a little jig to itself again, so so bizarre! But AMAZING. 

Another thing I've not been enjoying is being incredibly uncomfortable in bed. I'm unable to lie on my back because of the funny feeling the pressure of my belly gives me, when I lie on my left side rob tells me I make this astonishing sound of gasping for air whilst snoring my head off and when I'm on my left side I always seem to wake up to turn over because it's so uncomfortable. So I can only lie on my right side but after a while that gets uncomfortable because of all the weight. So my nights consist of a lot of turning over and waking up to move my heavy heavy body. 
Oh and there's the restless legs too so my legs have to be over a massive pillow. The sad thing is I know that the bigger I get the worse the nights are going to be. I believe that my body is just getting prepared for the many sleepless nights that are ahead of me! 

The last two things I'm going to moan about, yes, I'm very aware I'm moaning! These are cramp! And painful hips. I don't know why but leg and foot cramps have really been kicking in recently and there's nothing to stop them once they start. I've always been told that cramp is caused by a lack of salt in your system so you'd think cramp wouldn't happen after eating fish and chips that have salt and vinegar on but no no, nothing prevents it! 
My last annoyance is my achy hip when I walk, I visited the Drs and called the midwives and sadly they all believe I've developed the pelvic pain a lot of preggo ladies get. I'm currently waiting for a referral for physio but I kinda feel like a fraud because it's only when I walk for over 10 minutes it seems to kick in. But I'm aware it can get worse the bigger I get. 

Other than these annoying niggles I'm getting and having I am very much enjoying being pregnant and I'm so grateful and fortunate that I'm able to grow this incredible being. I do apologise for the moans and groans! (This stuff you just don't hear about before haha) 

Bring on the next 14 weeks!!


Much love

My letter to MND

22. Dear you, I want to start off by saying I don't like you. From the day we have met all you have done is cause pain, you have caused misery! That is all you do for everyone you meet. You find them at their best and demolish their whole being. You break them down to the point where there is no fight left, but they will fight you until the very end knowing they will never win. One day they will win, one day we will all break YOU down so you're not here any more. None of us like you, but you bring us all closer together. You make us realise that we can't go on just floating by, you make us realise that time is the most precious thing any one in the world has got! And with that precious time we have to make as many wonderful memories possible, we have to tackle all the hurdles you throw at us so that you know we will stick together and fight you. I have the displeasure of knowing you, so many others have the displeasure of living  with you. For those I can't i...

Arsenal, Tears and Happiness!

26. We meet again my loves, how ya diddling? I'm good, I have two weeks off work now :D nothing major is planned...oh wait HARRY POTTER STUDIOS and bonfire night, I love bonfire night, the magic of the fireworks and sparklers is just so beautiful. I will definitely try and get some pictures of the fireworks and sparklers of the bonfire I'm planning on going too.  Is it just in the UK we celebrate bonfire night?  I'm currently listening Marmozets - Captivate You, I've heard this band quite a lot on Kerrang radio and just love this song, it gets me bouncing around in my seat. I downloaded their album and it's pretty belting I have to say! It was on repeat everyday this past week on the bus, a definite boost before work.  I don't know if I told you guys that my Dads best friend, Steve, contacted Arsenal (my Dad is obsessed) and explained his situation and how much he loves the team and always has done, and they wrote him back to say they would send Dad...

End of an era

 10 years...10 long but very fast years!! Okay, I admit, I'm late to the 10 year blog anniversary, like 7 months late haha but I've been busy. I can't quite believe I started writing on here over 10 years ago. About my Dad, who has now been gone 10 years as of only a few days ago! Which is mental. This pocket of space helped me a lot back then, and it continued to help a little while after but it's definitely time for me to say goodbye to this space now. It served me well back then, but like we all do, I've grown and found other things now that suit me better. You see, I couldn't express in real life how I felt back then, what I was dealing with watching my Dad with MND. So this was my voice. Then I realised oh wow I can say a lot of things here that I can't express due to fear or embarrassment and general learning things about myself etc. Who knew writing a few words on a few posts could help heal so many broken pieces. I'll always be pretty grateful fo...
