Week 26

It has been a totally rubbish to be frank!! Because i've a few operations on my tummy in the last few years it would appear that the scarring is what's causing the aches and pains i've been getting. They got so bad a few days ago that I ended up at St. Thomas's for a few check ups. They put me and my other half in a delivery room for a few hours to monitor me, with the machine that goes ping, the gas and air and all the lovely diagrams of birthing positions. it's meant to be easier if you do it this way type thing....yeah right...pass me the gas and air!

Anyway everything is ok and it looks like it's my bad luck. A friend suggested I try acupuncture. She said is was amazing for her morning sickness which was awful and has now gone completely. So off I trotted to her guy this week to have tiny pins put in my meridians. Embarassingly, it was so relaxing I drifted off and had to be woken up, dribbling on the pillow. To be honest whether it works or not it was really nice to have a kip in the middle of the afternoon. Perhaps I should be doing it more often!

I got the buggy and car seat this week which was a moment of clarity, this is actually going to happen, we actually having a baby and I think I shed a tear whilst trying to fathom the instructions for our fabulous new piece of kit from Mamas and Papas. Stripes and denim forward facing pneumatic wheels four wheeler swivel head suspension traction and coffee holder......concorde basically !!

Here's to 27 weeks !
