28 weeks and a routine appointment

Sorry I haven’t posted much in the last week or so, been mega busy with final Christmas preparations, mainly baking! I was wrapping presents on Sunday and seem to have hurt my lower back/bum, and it hurts when I bend over/go to sit down, I’m sure that’s just normal pregnancy pains though as it doesn’t seem to be there ALL the time, it’s more apparent to me when I’ve been quite active.  Sunday saw me at 28 weeks – finally reaching the third trimester! All I can say to that is ‘EEK!’!  I’m going to be exactly 29 weeks on Christmas Day so …

Glucose Tolerance Test

Well today was GTT day after bringing it forward from Saturday! I’ve had 3 pricks in the space of 2 hours, aren’t I a lucky girl?! Hehe… Well the day could have started off better. Husband was working so I had to get the bus. I was early at the bus stop, as I usually am, but, also as usual, the bus was about 10 minutes late! Meaning I was going to be late! It’s (supposed) to be a 10 minute walk from the bus stop to the hospital; my appointment was at half 9 and the bus got there …

27 weeks

Here it is, 27 weeks! The third trimester looms… Again, not much to report from the last week… Though my GTT is on Thursday now instead of Saturday, so I should be able to update you on that experience on Friday! I have to go back for the results next week. I do have a couple more funny/random dreams to share though!  Number one: It was one of my best virtual friends birthdays (B), and me, another virtual friend, and two of my school friends went to Asda in Manchester (quite far away for all of us so very random!), …

26 weeks (and a bump pic)

Oops, a bit late again…! I’ve been overtaken with my other obsession of comping – the advent ones for this month take up too much time! Anyway, I hit 26 weeks on Sunday… And also came into double figures for little mans expected arrival! Just like counting down the wedding planning days again…!  The past week has been quite uneventful if I’m honest so not really much to report. Apart from Christmas has finally arrived in the G household! Our living room looks all pretty now, although the tree was sat bare from Saturday until last night as I was …

25 weeks and a midwife appointment

This weekend saw me reaching 25 weeks… 15 weeks to go, eek! It really is true when people say how fast it goes… I really haven’t much to report from the last week, except that I ‘kind of’ took Baby G on his first train journey. At the same time I also found out being pregnant, hot, and going backwards on a train don’t mix… I lost count of the number of times I felt sick… I went to visit a friend in Manchester and had a lovely time with her & her little man. Today I had my routine …
