25 weeks pregnant and STILL so tired… zzzzzzzz
25 Weeks preganant tomorrow and yet again the tiredness has hit me!!! I’m literally sat here struggling to keep my eyes open and finding typing this an effort!!! I never in a million years expected pregnancy to be so tiring, people warn you about the sickness and the stretch marks but I was never prepared for this level of tiredness!!! And I gotta say I’m so sick of people saying… oooooo you better get used to it, cos you won’t get any sleep when the baby is here!!!! Thing is… YES I will, I can’t possibly get any less sleep than what I’m getting at the moment… cos how can u get less than none??? And at least I won’t have to get out of bed at 6.20am in the morning to come to work and sit here and be alert and polite and fully motivated… If Baby has been up all night and I wanna have a chilled out day and stay in all day I can!!!! The chance to just sit and be comfortable would be nice at the moment!
So yesterday I was knackerd, had a really bad night Wednesday night so felt it all day at work yesterday but was determined to not fall asleep when I got in from work as I was adamant I would have a good nights sleep last night! I had a lie down on the settee and watched Neighbours and felt better just for switching my brain off for a while! Then Kel rang me to see if we wanted to go out for tea, and we did! It was lovely, although I was really off my food yesterday! Then we had a little drive out and got in about 9.30. We went straight to bed as we were both knackered… But could I get to sleep… OH NO!!!! I’m sure I had about an hours sleep all night and I just wanted to cry when I had to get out of bed and ready for work… I felt that exhausted! I seriously don’t know how much longer I can deal with this… I’m not just tired I’m feeling exhausted and everything is feeling an effort, and the worse thing, I still have 9 weeks left to work, and working full time means I still have all my washing to do at the weekend, a house to clean and all my jobs to do so my weekends are never there for me to just relax!!!!
I do want to just point out that I’m not complaining about my pregnancy, I’m so grateful that I’m pregnant and love my bump and wouldn’t change things for the world but I just really feel so drained at the moment, and also if any other mums to be are reading this then they know they aren’t the only ones feeling like a bear waiting for it’s hibernation!!!
Tonight all I wanna do is go home and go to bed but I have a leaving party to go to as one of my friends is emigrating to Australia. I just hope I last past 9pm cos I really am wondering how I’m still functioning today!
Not got much planned for the weekend, normal odd jobs to do but the weather is forecast lovely tomorrow so I might try and have an hours chill time!!!!
So sorry that seems such a moaning blog but guess these things are here to off load on… so there ya go!!!!
Byyyyeeeee for now!!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
You’re Just Too Beautiful Girl
Thanks to Scott Mills I can’t get that song outta my head… arrrgggghhhh!!!
Work is back to normal so here I am blogging again! Currently at work I’m on the process of starting to think about my handover, I’m gonna be leaving in about 9 weeks and my boss has a ‘thing’ about procedures so I’m just in the process of producing procedures for all my tasks and believe me this isn’t easy! Most of the things I do very regularly but trying to write down exactly what these tasks involve is no simple!!! It’s also very boring and gives me a head ache!!!
Has a pretty chilled weekend and start to the week really, Friday night was shopping night last week and we had a BBQ planned for Sunday so had lots and lots of BBQ stuff to buy… Was knackered as well Friday so had a nice early night!
Sat I went to town with my mum and got a new top for a party we are going to this Friday… this is not an easy occasion to buy for… 6 months pregnant and on the hunt for a trendy going out top is HARD!!! Anyway, I found one and it was only about £22 (I think) so I was chuffed about that! Saturday night I babysat for Abigail and she was as good as gold… Very indecisive (girl after my own heart) but such a good girl!
Sunday we had a lovely day, my morning was hectic, cleaning and going shopping for last minute BBQ things, all while Matt was playing football. Anyway, 2 pm came and people starting arriving, it was mainly a family thing that involved both Matt’s sisters and kids which was lovely cos we haven’t seen Amanda for such a long time, and my family then a few friends including a couple of my brothers pals. The weather was glorious and the food yummy… my mums fella / friend fancies himself as a bit of a chef so he did all the cooking and brought some of his fab food. We had a paddling pool set up and me and Matt had bought this 7 in 1 games thing that has swing ball, football, basket ball, shuttleball, volleyball, tennis and something else but I can’t remember. It was great anyway and everyone had a fab time!!! My mum got lots of baby practice in with Matt’s nieces so she was happy!!! I did get a little sunburnt though… much to Matt’s disgust as he kept telling me to get some cream on!
Monday night we did nothing, I’m really suffering with my back at the mo, so Matt ran me a nice bath and I had a proper relaxing night which did ease my back some! Think I’m defo gonna feel this pregnancy in my back though.
Tonight I think we are off to Meadowhall cos Matt wants something new for Friday night and I could do with something for my bottom half… or shoes???? Hmmmm, decisions, decisions!
Pregnancy News
I was 24 weeks on Saturday… 6 months pregnant already!! I can’t believe it; it’s going by sooooo quickly! I think I’ve really grown this last couple of weeks and I am more than noticeably pregnant! Luckily enough though I am carrying all to the front so not put any weight on anywhere else! The baby is SOOO active now and is moving and kicking all the time!!! I’m getting some rather good kicks as I type actually! It is lovely though and still reassures me every time! Matt loves to feel our baby kicking too and was more than happy to have my kicking belly in his back at 5am this morning!!!
Think that’ll do for today XxX
More Pregnancy Tales!
Once again it’s been a while! Work has been mayhem this last couple of weeks cos as u will have probably seen on the news… the NHS has had an influx of new doctors starting. At this hospital we have had 164 join us so had an induction period of 2 days and the planning for this has been chaos! Not to mention the 2 days of induction!!! I’m pleased to say it all went well and now I’m knackered!!!! Not helped of course by being almost 6months pregnant!
As for the pregnancy, everything is going really well. I think baby is performing some kind of martial arts inside me as his kicks are SO strong… it is lovely though and I find his kicks oh so very reassuring! WE are getting more and more organised as the weeks go buy. The cots built, the prams ordered, he has a wardrobe David Beckham would envy and we generally have all the bits and bobs we need. The only thing I’m gonna start to get is things like body wash, nappies, talc etc so we have a nice little stock in.
WE received our car seat yesterday and it’s LUSH!!!! I proper love it! About 4 weeks ago I ordered the Maxi-Cosi Cabrio car seat from Bristols where we are getting the pram from… anyway… We paid straight away and requested that we collect as soon as it arrives as we’ll be car shopping around the car seat (almost true as if it didn’t fit in either car we would be new car hunting). I rang up last week as there was no sign of the car seat and they informed me that they could not guarantee a delivery date for the car seat but are hopefully that it will arrive before baby is born in November!!!!! Not what I wanted to hear! Sooo, I told the lady in Bristols that I had seen the car seat elsewhere and if I could get the car seat I wanted in the colour I wanted elsewhere then I would require my £95 refunded. She was trying desperately to get me to pick a different colour but I had my heart set on my first choice! So on Monday I was browsing the internet looking for stockists of the car seat I NEEDED and found it at the Glasgow Pram Centre, available for delivery 2 days later and for £84.99!!! Bonus, not only did it arrive as promised yesterday but it was also a tenner cheaper! EXCELLENT!!!! So now I’m off to Bristols this weekend for our pennies back!!!
<—- Our Maxi-Cosi Car Seat!! How lush!
I’m getting quite a pregnant belly on me now and I really do feel pregnant, I’m defo feeling the weight of carrying the baby. Matt keeps taking belly shots and I keep thinking about posting them but I’m not sure… can’t say I really want everyone seeing my big pregnant belly in the flesh!
I’m really missing my friends at work at the mo… Kristy is off sick and Ally has left!! Boo, I know work isn’t a social gathering but we all used to mail daily and I’m really missing this… so nice just hear from them everyday with a ‘hi, how u doing?’ Miss u guys 
(
Gotta say it’s been lovely to have some sunshine this week instead of rain rain rain. Been feeling completely shattered again though lately… like equally as tired as when I was first pregnant and it sucks ass… I wanna be full of life like these women I read about in magazines but I’m just so tired again and god I’m suffering with my back… boo hoo!!!!! Can’t complain though I guess… Gonna have a gorgeous baby at the end of it all.
I do apologise if all my baby talk bores you but as u can probably understand it is a huge part of my life so kinda takes over all thoughts I have!!! I like talking about it anyway so ner ner!!!
