I'm still here and over all the xmas bugs...


I've been a very bad blogger recently and many apologies for not posting for such a long time. It took ages for us as a family to recover from the repeats of Christmas illness which in the end saw pretty much all of us on anti-biotics to sort us out. Being ill with colds/chest infections/temperatures etc is hard enough... but especially hard when pregnant as there are so few medicines you can take! Paracetamol didn't do a thing on the whole, trying to rest and get loads of sleep would have been great but pretty much impossible when your toddler is full of beans...

Time has just flown by and i've mainly been concentrating on getting ready for our new baby in May... so i've not been crafting that much and i'm endeavouring to get back to my projects very soon. Amazingly there's only 11wks give or take a couple of days till our due date!!!  I'm now in the last trimester (29wks out of 40) and my bump has suddenly been on a growth spurt. Sleeping is becoming more challenging as finding a comfy position that both me and the baby agree on is getting harder. Not to mention the all night aqua aerobics he/she gets up to which often wake me up going ouch and i've turned into a blast furnace at night... bun in the oven indeed! Oh and don't forget the constant trips to the loo (day and night) because of now having a bladder the size of a pea :)

Our 20wk scan just before Christmas showed a totally healthy and happy little one and our DS was totally fascinated. He is beginning to understand the concept of mummy having a baby but when asked if he would like a baby brother or sister he is still adamant he wants a ball... in fact a yellow ball to be precise! Maybe his new little brother or sister will give him one when he/she arrives?!
