Well well well

Here I am 29 weeks today. I'm WILLING the weeks to go by. 5 weeks since I last posted. So what has New Mama been up to. Hmm. Watching my belly GROW. I might even post a picture to illustrate it. That's a job for later. Right now I'm meant to be studying and do you think I'm doing a tap?! Nada. So I honestly have grown quite a bit. Since my pregnancy started I've put on 2 stone. That's quite a bit above the average incidentally. I keep telling myself it's water retention (well my feet, ankles and hands ARE all quite swollen). I saw the dietician in the Rotunda on Thursday as I'm at risk of gestational diabetes. I'm on quite a restricted diet for the remainder of my pregnancy. I'm looking forward to that 6 week window between giving birth and being allowed go back to WeightWatchers when I can indulge in SOME sweet treats (right now they are ALL OUT), like carrot cake and Mam's apple tart. Imagine telling a pregnant lady who is studying to be boot that chocolate, cake and sweets are all OUT! Tragedy. I tell you. Anyway, call it nesting or whatever but you know the way I'm meant to be studying...well Lidl opens in 9 minutes and guess who has decided she can't possibly study until she has gone there to see if they have any of their special offer roses and potted lilies left from their Specials they were advertising last week. It's Chris's birthday today - wouldn't it be nice to surprise him with them when he wakes up? Wish me luck - I think I'm going to be disappointed if they are not there. THEN I'll start studying. I promise!
