We have come home from our excellent holiday at St Leonards to work and a very bad case of beach and friend withdrawal. I’ve also come back to find I’m not fitting into my work clothes anymore which probably has more to do with the vast amount of very fine food I ate than with the growth of B1. This photo shows the view outside the front door of our beach house. It was unreal!
It feels like a very long time since we had the scan and it’s hard waiting for the next one. I wish I could feel some kicks already, or develop special (safe) x-ray vision to see what is happening. We can feel the bump of the uterus easily now-not just when I have a full bladder. Sometimes I have a lot of pressure in my bottom and I have to sit down carefully.
The morning sickness has settled quite a lot, but I still have an hour or two every day when it comes back at a low level. My digestion is very wierd and I often puff up after eating food. Breasts are enormous. Bra situation critical.
In more festive news, a gorgeous son was born to our lovely friends S and K. I was lucky enough to be at his homebirth as the second midwife and I just hope I can be as brave as S was!
