this too will pass...

i'm starting to get quite nostalgic about it now. at 32 weeks and realising that i (most likely) won't be doing this again. overall there's relief as i have struggled with my pregnancy more this time than last. maybe it's an age thing - became 36 last week, not that I wanted to notice that. maybe it's the running around after number one...anyway as you may have noticed, it's not been easy peasy lemon squeezys.

but nostalgia about the lovely one-ness of it. that secret feeling that you and baby share with each kick and squirm, hiccup and rib tickle. that won't happen again.

third trimester-tester

hormonal hell, enough to test the patience of a saint. one minute snappy, next weepy. delightful!

bump is getting big, decided to measure it (though I didn't do this before so unfortunately no comparison chart) but across the broadest span of bump @ 30weeks I'm 1.04m / 41 inches, 10inches bigger than prebaby days. sadly my hips have also expanded to 42 inches / 1.07m, 4 inches bigger than they were. gutted huge gutteth.
