This week I am running completely on autopilot! I have no idea what time it is let alone what day it is! From the moment I get up in the morning I’m looking forward to the time that I can go back to bed! What I do seem to be VERY aware of however, is the nausea, the bloating, the burping, the indigestion and the um…er…whatjacallit…Oh Yes! Forgetfulness!
As well as sleep, all I seem to want to do is eat! Mainly steak, asparagus and jacket potatoes! I suppose it must be the iron in the meat and the folic acid in the asparagus that I am craving – what a clever body I have! Hmm, what about the huge glob of butter on the spud and the apple pie and cream for pudding…..Moving on……..! I somehow knew that my new health kick would be somewhat short-lived!
‘Pip’ has now turned into a lentil!!! Not just any lentil don’t you know, but one with little paddles for hands and feet, holes where the ears will be and dark spots for the eyes! His (her?) heart is already beating twice as fast as mine and he’s already practising his star jumps!
I find it increasingly hard to believe that some women don’t even know that they’re pregnant at this stage. Sometimes I feel like I’d do anything to feel ‘normal’ even just for a day but then, I suppose if I did, I would only worry that something was wrong! At least I know that if I’m feeling lousy it means that everything is going well!
I mean, think about it.. I’m apparently creating a whole life support system this week – no wonder I’m so bloody knackered!
