Why is it I can't 'bloom' and 'glow' when I'm pregnant? Much as I did with Dylan, I look like complete crap. My skin is dreadful. Really dreadful. I look as if I have a face full of teenage acne. And my hair seems to have been invaded by the frizz monster.
Yesterday I went down to the bookshop for something to read, and picked up another copy of 'What To Expect When You're Expecting' as G threw the last one away convinced it was full of scare stories that made me paranoid. I promised him I would not look at the negative stuff. Of course, as he left me in the car for 10 mins while he then went into another shop, that's exactly what I did. It's true, I can go from having a minor concern which should probably be ignored - to reading the book - to being convinced I have all kinds of dreadful diseases or pregnancy problems, and my baby is going to be born with 5 heads.
I was also horrified to see a book on pregnancy for the over 30's. Am I really that old to be having a baby??????
I must also apologise if any of these entries are similar in content. Unfortunately I'm reaching the point of pregnancy where my already terrible memory is now even worse, and I have absolutely no idea what I've already written about.
