25 weeks 2 days

Well I've made it to 25 weeks, and time certainly has flown by, and hopefully the next 15 weeks will go by just as fast! My wardrobe is now a sporting maternity wear in all shapes and sizes, and my skinny jeans have gone on holiday (To the back of the wardrobe) as they are now far too uncomfortable.

I have an awful pain in my tail bone/ coccyx today, and have done on and off for a while. It sucks. Bending over, picking things up and sitting down are mountains to climb, ugh. It's worth it, besides Ben (the fiancé) seems to enjoying hoisting me up off the sofa when needs be.

Anyway, bump picture.

No complaints at the moment other than general aches and pains, and that damn coccyx thing.
I shall write again at 30 weeks, until then! Au reviour!

ITS A BOY! - 23 weeks

I'm leaning over the laptop like a vulture with really really bad lower back pain. But that's literally all I have to worry about for now! Although getting stitches when walking fast are happening more readily.

It's only three weeks since the last post but it feels like forever. It was kinda devastating that we didn't find out the gender at the last scan. As it was the last NHS scan us pregnant folk get :( But we got to go private instead (money grabbing...grr..) and we found out. There is a gentleman inside my womb. A GENTLEMAN! 

So it's a boy, and as soon as I got home, I sifted through a basket of clothes and put all the pretty pink things, dresses, shirts, skirts, etc into a bag and have put them in the cupboard. Although I can't dress him up as a doll, i'm sure I'll find other ways of being an embarrassment..

23 weeks and about 12 inches big, and about a pound in weight. The baby will double his weight in four weeks!

And there he is, all cute and all.. and 'NOT FOR DIAGNOSIS' 'well nurse your diagnosis, I do believe the girl is ...pregnant' silly goose.

For the past couple of weeks i've not felt very pregnant at all, no complaints. I should get out more and do yoga and swimming etc.. but pfft.. I'd rather watch horror movies and nibble on huge cheddars.

We've gotten all the real essentials figured out as far as baby 'stuff' goes.
Moses basket - check
3 in 1 pushchair, stroller, car seat - check
extra moses basket (dont ask) - check
Tons of baby-grows - check
Tons of other baby clothes - check
Baby monitor - check
Cot and changer - check
and lots of other goodies.

Perhaps I should wrap this post up? It's getting lengthy now! All I can say is, I'm excited, Ben is excited (and currently building a boat out of cardboard on the floor) and we can't wait to say hello to our little fella.
