Stupid things

Pregnancy lays to bare to a lot of uncomfortable things.

More than I dare mention, but trust me they are all ‘uncomfortable’.

There is however one thing that amuses me greatly, the linea nigra, the line that you get on your tummy, see pic below (this is not my tummy although doesn’t look much different) I look at it every morning and night and have to STRONGLY resist the urge to get a big fat felt tip pen and colour it in. What is all that about? It’s a line that wants doodling over with a marker. Pete told me if I did it the ink would be absorbed through my skin and could give our baby ink poisoning. pah! this is the same man that requested we go back for another unscheduled ultra-sound because he was so worried I have dented our babies face with all the belly prodding I do. I told him to stop being so silly but suffice to say have stopped poking at the baby just in case.

Another amusing thing to mention is the misfiring my brain has done on a couple of occasions. People call it baby brain but there is no real scientific evidence of it. When I was in Farmers the other day picking up some supplies the cashier handed me my receipt and I looked at her and smiled and said ‘Massive’. I had no idea I was going to say ‘massive’, I thought I was going to say thank you and out came ‘massive’. She gave me a very odd look and so to cover up my strange term of phrase I said, ‘choice’. HA. By the time I reached Pete outside I was actually crying with laughter, it took 10 minutes to tell him the story which clearly was not as funny to him as to me, he smiled politely and said ‘silly wife’.

Pic’s below are at 32 weeks, only…..8 weeks to go! Now we are down to 4, d-day is imminently looming.

   

Just finished work and waiting for the midwife, reading something incredibly inane on a pin-board, probably about babies, or herpies, or haemorroids, these are the things are on midwifes notice boards.

babies babies babies babies. Below are a couple of pics of the nursery we have created. We painted and put up a wall decal and made a hanging mobile of small elephants.
