In a follow-up to last week’s (in retrospect, rather sickeningly!) positive post, I need to now say that I am officially VERY uncomfortable! Still remembering how blessed I am to be experiencing this and making the most of my time off, but also struggling with a stiff and achey pelvis that’s making sleeping and walking difficult, a constant need to pee and cramps that come and go, usually throughout the night. All good signs that we’re at the ‘business end’ I guess! Meanwhile Ben is being told to stay away from the ‘business end’ when the time comes, but that’s another story ;)

A few random observations from my time at home –

• To all the full-time workers who can think of nothing more blissful than a daytime tele session – it gets very old after about a day. And Ellen DeGeneres is still very painful. I must say I am enjoying the reruns of All Saints, even though i should probably be avoiding all things involving hospitals + drama.
• I can’t really say I’ve been overcome by a ‘nesting instinct’. I think the main reason i’m doing things like washing the outdoor furniture covers, baking and organising cupboards is that All Saints only goes for an hour and I have lots of time on my hands. Maybe it’s yet to come – I hope so, there’s still plenty of chores to do!
• I am eating a lot of baked goods.
• Everyone needs to update Facebook more, i.e. for my entertainment
• Today I am off to the doctors for my weekly check-in, and then meeting Lou at Chermie for a preggie pedicure. Should be nice.

Update at 1.41pm: I now have pretty toes…and the doctor says bub’s head is ‘deeply engaged’ which I suppose explains all of the above!
