Time is moving very slowly.
It feels like I've been pregnant for at least 6 months.
Haven't been up to a lot. It was my birthday on Saturday... 25. I think that's a respectable age to have a baby. Not too old, not too young. It's actually the age my mother had me so maybe I've subconsciously always planned this is the age. Me and my husband went shopping, had a Wagamama's, then watched Frozen in the evening. Pretty fucking wild I know.
I brought some 'fat' clothes. Well just clothes I can get away with as baggy now that may pass as maternity in a few months.
Between my husband and my mother most of mankind knows I'm up the duff. But I suppose the wonderful world of Facebook doesn't, and won't until the 12 week scan is done and I feel confident everything is going OK. I'm being very good, I haven't had a cigarette or glass of anything alcoholic, I'm taking my vitamins. I'm not eating the bad pregnant food. Soft cheeses, shellfish, rare meat etc. I haven't had any caffeine of any form. The only thing I'm missing is egg yolks, runny delicious egg yolks. But oh well nearly a quarter of the way through.
I haven't had so many cravings yet. But I have gone off some things. Mainly liquids. I only want water these days, juice, squash, tea just isn't doing it for me, Milk's OK. Especially chocolate but I've always had a fetish for Yazoo anyway so nothing new there.
It's more things I'm going off, maybe it's because I'm constantly queasy but I just don't fancy things any more. I sort of just eat what's there. And that's not really who I am. Pasta's quite satisfactory at the moment, In fact carbs in general. But other than that, only water, I swear to god if my craving is bloody WATER that is the most boring thing I've ever heard. But I still have plenty of time to discover some mad combination.
It's the size of a date this week. Pretty tiny. But the little picture on my app looks like a real person, Less like a blob, so that's pretty amazing. I just can't wait for the scan now to see how it's growing. Think I've managed to convince my husband that I will be finding out the sex regardless at 20 weeks. If he wants it to be a secret then that's his choice but I want to know. If only to be able to fight stronger about baby names. Still calling him Ace in my tummy. But perhaps that won't be his Christian name. Especially if it's a girl.
Will report more between now and having the scan. 12 days... seems like a lifetime!
