The Bump is showing!


A six-week account showing the growth of my belly.

 I have to say that I look positively flat in the first image! But its finally starting to look like a proper preggy belly. Over the last couple of weeks I have started to feel little bubbles popping, so the peanut is definitely moving! I assume everything is going well, I certainly feel great, so fingers crossed that is at least a good sign! Our next appointment is 2 weeks on Tuesday, which is when we get to have a look at how big the peanut is and to make sure there really are 2 legs and not 4 etc. It is also the time that we could find out the sex...but we've decided to wait. Why not get an even BIGGER surprise at Christmas!

Over the last few weeks I've been going along to a mothers group (aptly titled 'Bumps and Babes', babes being mum's with babies, not 'hot' mums). Though I think when I first started going they were a little sceptical...as I didn't really have much of a bump then (probably thought this poor woman has to pretend to be pregnant to meet people). Thankfully, they now quite freely comment on how much its growing. But its nice to meet other mothers, and at the very least get an idea of what I'm getting myself into. Although at times it gets very hard as I really have no experience with babies. Talk of nappies, routines, breastfeeding eating, and crying usually just leaves me sitting there smiling sympathetically...meanwhile thinking what the hell AM I getting myself into. There's certainly no turning back now...But all joking aside, I am VERY excited about all of this (having nice quiet sleepy baby that is)
