21 weeks

The 20 week scan last week has really helped to ease my mind. It's crazy the way you worry over stupid things. It was wonderful to see the babies looking like proper babies too rather than just blobs.

Been taking it a lot easier since the scare I gave myself the other week although I did find myself eyeing the kitchen at the weekend and feeling the urge to clean all the cupboards out.

OH is really looking after me. Coming with me to shop, hoovering, doing anything that involves lugging anything around. Still getting frustrated that I can't do as much as I used to be able to do but I'll get that energy back...hopefully!!

He's going away at the weekend for a week and we've got food in for me and there are meals in the freezer that we've stock-piled so I don't have to stand and cook.

Slightly disturbed/facinated by changes in my body lately. Haven't seen my belly button in a few years since I had it pierced. It's almost flat and so is the piercing so it looks like 3 belly buttons. Also boobs are pretty ugly looking, OH refers to them as like those comedy boobs that blokes wear on stag dos. Big is not necessarily better. All a bit weird, but well worth the end result.

Next milestone in my head is 24 weeks. Last one was obviously 20 weeks. 24 weeks because if they come they have some (although v small) hope of making it. Amazed this morning to hear a story of a baby who was born at 21 weeks and 6 days and has survived. Incredible!

Lots of comments about my bump lately from "radiant" to "pleasantly plump" to "rotund". Hmmm Mostly all at the front so far, I think all the exercise beforehand helped, but it does feel as though it is about to explode sideways!!
