29 weeks...

My bump is certainly a proper bump and I am noticeably pregnant. It is a very round neat bump, pretty much all baby - it was the same with Fidget though I feel slightly bigger this time - but not by much evidently as most people don't believe I am 6 months.

I certainly don't mind having a small, neat bump. So far no stretch marks which is great and it is easier to get away without having to have all maternity clothes. I have a few long t-shirts from last time that are fine and then my 2 pairs of maternity trousers.

I did get a couple of maternity skirts from ebay for work as in the hotter weather I am finding it hard in trousers and still need something smart.


For saying my bump is neat - there isn't alot of room left inside. The reason it is so neat is that there is alot of me for baby to hide in (being tall), but I do feel like I need a pressure release valve or something. I need to eat lots to keep my energy up - but there is just no room. I struggle to bend down and put on my shoes or pick something up.


Sleeping at night is a bit difficult as I need to get up more regularly than before to go to the loo and also I am getting a lot of pain in my hips so have to keep switching which side I lie on.

I have started sorting out Fidget's baby clothes. M got them all down from the loft, we sorted out the smaller ones and put the rest back up. M spent much of Monday washing them all and now I need to get them organised into the drawers in the nursery.

We also got the car seat and baby seat down, so I feel like I am making progress on my earlier list. We have bought a couple of packs of tiny nappies. And this evening I have been checking out nursing bras online.

Hot milk look cool http://www.hotmilklingerie.co.nz/lingerie/. Being pregnant with Fidget and breastfeeding - my boobs (or boops as Fidget calls them) got rather big. 32F to be precise. I think before this I hadn't been properly measured as I was in 34C but anyway. They never really got smaller after I finished breastfeeding. And now they are just getting bigger. I am busting out of my most roomy 32F, so goodness knows what size I am now. I will head to PerfectFit in Keynsham soon to get properly measured and then probably buy some more online later.

I am scared at the moment about lack of sleep. Fidget doesn't nap reliably during the day, so if mini-C isn't sleeping well at night I am going to be shattered! We will just have to deal with it when we get there, but it makes me feel exhausted already to think about it.

I have been really slack at posting, so here I am at almost 27 weeks. This picture was taken midweek, last week. I have a definite bump now. Lots of people say it is quite a neat bump which it probably is but I do feel it is bigger than with Fidget. I am definitely struggling more with clothes, particularly in the hot weather we have been having as I have few skirts that fit and no shorts.

The hot weather hasn't been too bad but it makes me even more lethargic than before. Still feeling good health wise but just so tired, so I find looking after Fidget tiring particularly as she is currently having a "napping is for wimps" period.

I can't believe I am nearly at my third trimester it is pretty crazy.
