Update on New Year's Resolutions!

It's the end of the first quarter, so it's time to have an update:

1. Have more sex! - Well this HASN'T happened (thanks to Mr Para's hernia!!) But obviously it's the quality that counts as I'm now expecting!
2. Lose a stone - I did start doing this, but there's the small matter of another human being growing inside me which means I'm unable to lose weight!
3. Eat more fruit and veg. This one's a bit hit and miss. Sometimes i do really well, others (like this past fortnight) I'm rubbish at it!
4. Write at least one letter each month. This I HAVE done. Unfortunately I've discovered a pal's in prison, so I've been writing to him (more of that in another post)
5. Run! I was doing so well at this - but my boobs are now too painful!!

A Nine Week Old ParaBump ...

... And this is what it will look like inside me:

It looks rather like a prawn!

And its fingers are becoming more visible:

Thanks to http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/ for the pictures!

It's making me feel incredibly tired. Can sleep ten hours a night and still have a nap in the afternoon! I feel nauseous ALL the time - but haven't thrown up, and my boobs are so sore! Last week they were so sore I could have cried. Which is another thing I could do a lot - cry! How emotional am I?!

Am not looking forward to going back to work this week (and not just because there'll have been a myriad of things gone wrong in my absence!) - how am I going to survive? Doing anything exhausts me! I wish I could just chill for the next seven months! And have lots of snoozes!

Have bought my first maternity frock (cos it was in the sale):

But was very disappointed to discover that maternity bras at Mothercare only go up to an E cup! I was an F cup pre-pregnancy!!! And apparently you can go up two cup sizes!

ParaBump!

OHMIGOD - the unthinkable has happened! Para is PREGNANT!!!!!!

A Valentine's Night baby! And Mr Para with a hernia and all!

And here we have ParaBump at Nine Weeks (if you go by the Doc's reckoning) or Seven Weeks (if you go by mine!!)

All we need to do now is wait for Mr Para to sort out the back bedroom (which he is going to decorate with dinosaurs!) and we can turn it into ParaBump's bedroom!
