Braxton Hicks Rocks

28th March 2009 by Hellie

When I first read about Braxton Hicks i thought they would feel quite diffrent from what they do. This whole feeling of a stomach that is rock hard is rather weird. I am starting to feel like my torso is carved from wood, bending over is becoming harder and harder. I have to pratice my monkey foot skills and try and pick things up with my toes instead when I drop things…maybe not when I got shoes on.

Kitchen stuff is going ok, tiling and flooring was done this week, so now we only got painting left to do and then unpack things get some new chairs. This is what it looks like at the moment, you can still see the walls are that strange mintgreen that makes me think of going to the dentist.

So getting there slowly…

Fed up

24th March 2009 by Hellie

I am getting quite fed up with being this big.  I can see why people start their maternity leave earlier, trying to sit down and be comfortable at work, or really in any chair, is getting tricky. Yesterday there was so much movement and activity, I almost thought something was about to happen as there was a pushing feeling at the top of the belly too and it was starting to hurt a bit. As I am typing this there is a lot of stretching going on too, kicking has mostly stopped, I guess it is getting crowded in there. All this discomfort makes it rather hard to relax or sleep, so my fatigue is back tenfold. But I guess I only got a week and a half left to work, then I can hopefully try to relax a bit.  Hopefully by then the kitchen is done too, it got tiled today and is getting floored tomorrow.

Now it is time to watch battlestar galactica!

Coughing, Snow and Braxton Hicks

3rd February 2009 by Hellie

Still lots of snow around, I still haven’t ventured outside. Today it all looks very lovely out there with the blue sky and the sun. Had I not been carrying around junior this is the perfect weather for a walk really. But I was chicken today too, so I stayed at home.

Also I seems to have developed the world’s fastest cold, Last night I started coughing and sneezing and today I feel really rough, pains in joints, back and head. I got that really awful dry cough that makes your throat seem like it is burning for several minutes after it. Not much fun, sorry to whinge.
