The Thirties

Week 30 and this Pip is still wriggling well...kicks in the ribs and stomping on my bladder are starting to take there toll!!

We had yet another appointment at the hospital to check up on how the blood sugar testing is going. I'm pleased to say that I seem to have got a handle on it. We just have to hope my body doesn't start playing games or this little Pip will be born at 38 weeks and I will be on medication....2 things we would like to avoid please!

A Pip arriving on Mothers Day is lovely, however when your a florist it is not the best timing...our busiest day of the year...I can hear my Ma screaming in terror!!

As long as this little one is safe and healthy I will be happy...Mother's Day or no Mother's Day!

Things are starting to get very real...I have a few Wishes...I wish that I don't get induced...I wish to have this Pip naturally... I wish to be calm and relaxed while in labor...I wish that Pip comes into this world happy and safely...and I wish that this diabetes goes away after Pip has entered our life.

And the greatest thing? 

Wishes come true!!

Happy Days

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

This week 29 has been a rollercoaster of emotions already.

 THE GOOD

~We are at week 29, 11 weeks until I hold our little Pip in my arms!!

~Still feeling pretty and enjoying dressing this very expanding bump of mine.

~Showing my consultant that just because I am a size 16 does mean I have piled on the pound like he assumed I would...I am the same weight as at my booking appointment....I am proud of that fact!

~We finally bought a car seat in the sales...no we just have to work out how we get it in the car.

~The Wonderful one hearing Pips heartbeat for the first time.

THE BAD

~ A rather horrid morning at the hospital, drinking the most disgusting drink ever.

~Grumpy nurses.

~Restless legs, which result in 2 hours of sleep a night.

~Finding out I have gestational diabetes :(

THE UGLY

~No sleep.

~Pincushions for arms.

~A pointless hospital appointment.

~ The bags & dark circles under my eyes.

It has been a tough one so far, but I am keeping Positive, 11 weeks of a diet change all for the good of Pip...then the reward of looking into his/her eyes, and my world being rocked!

Not long now!!
