This week my belly has become quite noticeable, although not people-giving-you-a-seat-on-the-bus noticeable yet. I’m ok standing as long as no ginormous person has to squeeze past.

As my hubby puts it, my belly has outgrown my boobs – yay…? I guess it is, because the bigger the belly, the closer to the big day!

Tummy space isn’t what it used to be. I can’t eat as much at a meal as I used to so I find myself having lots of little meals instead. A cracker before I get up, breakfast, morning tea, early lunch, second lunch if needed, afternoon tea, before home-time snack, dinner, before bed snack and maybe another cracker if I wake up hungry in the middle of the night. Still loving my kiwifruit.

Sleeping comfortably is already becoming a mission. I get a crampy pulling sensation when I sleep on my side (apparently the recommended position) so I have a pregnancy pillow to help. It’s hard because I’m so used to sleeping on my back most of the time. The increasing need to go toilet is also keeping me awake.

I’m getting a lot of pimples lately – something I haven’t had since I was a teenager, 10 years ago! Also indigestion is rife. Heartburn, burps, wind… aren’t pregnant women just so sexy!

Ok, so it’s another day that I forget to take a picture. Doesn’t say anywhere that I have to start all over again (correct me if I’m wrong), so I’ll just continue attempting to take a picture each day :)

A belated St Patrick’s Day lunch at work. Lots of green.

Also, it’s an exciting day today, but will wait a few days before getting too excited.

Green cupcakes! With a "leprechaun surprise" inside.

What have we here…? I believe it’s positive again – just like Friday. Woo! I can get a little more excited now.

A positive moment

Making trifle with left-over cupcakes. (They’re only left-over because I didn’t have time to ice them so they were frozen instead.)

Much tastier once the jelly, custard, cream and chocolate are added!

Super excited now things are confirmed with the doctor. Apart from that, today is not very eventful. So I take a photo of the very large painting I made for our lounge. It’s taller than I am.

I get some lovely gifts from a lovely workmate. It’s so nice to own some baby things!

Just look at those Pooh socks! Aww!

Trying to eat more vegies, so it’s spag bol with frozen vege and salad – yum.

Hearty meal
