Well who can believe two weeks have flown by! I have been pretty slack with the blog, mainly because I can not update it at work and by the time I get home and eat I can't be bothered to turn the computer on! I have been plodding along and have had a bit of a growth spurt...or the baby did any way. I now look pregnant and there is no mistaking it :-) I am still walking to and from work and getting to the gym 4 times a week....which is keeping me sane! It is also helping with the insomnia....although my obstetrcian (who is a runner) very sympathetically said to me "you poor thing you really need to go for a long run!"....there is an understatment! I am quite suprised that I am not going as batty as I thought I would, but yes I really do miss that feeling of putting on the shoes and running along and feeling great! But in the grand scheme of things it is a blip on the radar and there will be plenty of time to run in the years to come. So at the moment I am quite content walking along and day dreaming about runs I can do when I am fit again.
I also managed to get the worlds lamest injury last week from an excessive amount of over enthusiastic cleaning!! I spent about 7 hours scrubbing the house from top to bottom...an I mean I was on my hands and knee with a scrubbing brush! By Sunday night my right wrist was swollen and I could not pick things up.....a nice dose of tendonitis! I am happy to report that it has settled very quickly and the advice for all is don't do 7 hours of cleaning!!! At least we had a nice shiny unit!
I had another scan last week and baby has grown heaps and is now up under my ribs. I get breathless pretty easily and feel full ALL the time!! It is a weird feeling to feel like you have eaten a 10 course meal after only a sandwich. It kind of self limits any pigging out :-) Bub now kicks all the time and it is super active in the evening when I lie on the lounge. It is pretty amazing as Ray gets to watch the bub kick through my tummy. It is also really amazing as bub reacts when I am playing the violin....hopefully in appreciation ;-)
So every thing is going really well! No complaints and I am feeling great! I have only 9.5 weeks of work left and 13 and a bit left until the big day. I will update the photos soon as the belly is rapidly expanding :-)
