Pregnancy Stuff

Although having a baby in the Bleak Midwinter is bound to have downsides, I am starting to enjoy the up-sides of going into my 3rd Trimester as the weather cools - The first is cosy big maternity jumpers - the second is that I have rediscovered the wonders of The Bath. Now, we only had a shower at the old flat, which did the trick all right, but I felt like I wanted somewhere with a nice bath when we moved, and yesterday, when it was so cold and miserable I had a nice long soak at around 9 o'clock, then spent the rest of the evening reading in my dressing gown. I've always prefered cold weather to hot because I find it easier getting warm than getting cool, and a nice bath is perfect for that. I'm so glad I'm at this stage now, and not 3 months ago when it was baking - it was no fun being 3-4 months gone in that weather as it was - if I'd have been as big as I am now it would have been Hell.

Had another Midwife appointment today - everything seems to be going well. I have my bloody Diabetes test on Monday morning though - boo!

And then when I got back from work we went and actually bought our first Baby stuff - they didn't have the Moses Basket we wanted but we're going to pick it up at the weekend. We didn't go away empty handed though - we bought some basics - terry sleepsuits, long sleeved vests and a few bibs. I'd started having nightmares about her coming early and us having to dress her in a jiffy bag and a sock, Jack & Sarah stylee.
