I keep waking up really early in the morning super excited that I’m going to have a baby girl but I really need to try to get as much sleep as I can right now!!

Had obstetrician appointment today & have put on 7.8kgs in 5 and a half months – fabulous (not)! I know, I know: I’m pregnant not fat, but for a girl who has always watched her weight, that’s a tough thing to get your head around. I have it in my mind that I really don’t want to put on more than 10kgs, but at this rate I’m beginning to wonder?

Maybe I could stop snacking on chocolate? Or not have my nightly ice cream snack? Or do some more exercise? Am sure all of these things would work, but none of them sound too appealing! Especially since I feel so sick all of the time. Seriously, isn’t morning sickness (aka 24 hour a day sickness) supposed to have gone away by now. As in ages ago? Ugh.

Dr H thought he was being very funny when he said “if you weren’t going to need it, God wouldn’t have invented the epidural” – OUCH.

Today I feel like such a mummy. Other than sorting out all of my paperwork, that for years has been in random drawers, into files in a filing cabinet (what the?) I have also filled out waiting list applications for day care from mid next year for Long Day Care and Family Day Care. I really hope that life intervenes and I am able to work from home at least half the week between now and then. Putting her into day care full time isn’t something I really want to do.
