It's flying past, this whole 3rd pregnancy thing. I remember with Dylan I was literally clock watching the whole way through desperate for things to go faster than they were. With Harry it seemed to go just right, not too slow not too fast. This time it's whizzing by! I guess that's the thing with the third child, you're not in a hurry for things to happen as you know there plenty to do to prepare so of course it does!
My weight is bothering me. I think I've gained something like 5lb in 16 weeks which isn't so bad but those 5lb seem to hang very heavily for some reason. I feel like an enormous fat blob.
I think I am beginning to feel the baby move. I've definitely noticed some fluttering in my lower belly which is probably the baby...... not regularly and not often yet but I think we're getting there!
I have also been really tired again the last couple of days, not helped by Harry and his night time pratting about. He will wake up around 4am and refuse to go back to sleep. The only way we can do it is to bring him into our bed. This means I'm usually awake for at least an hour with all the fuss. Last night longer as he wouldn't settle in our bed either & we ended up putting him back in his and closing his door on the screaming. He did go off again but woke again at 6am and refused to go back. Having not gone to bed myself until 1am because G had gone out and I'd spooked myself by watching something scary on the TV, today has been tough going on only 4 hrs sleep!
G has been busy today fixing trim onto the door frames downstairs. He says it's quite difficult precision work but it looks wonderful, the one he's done so far. It makes a huge difference to have a nice door and a nice door frame to having a raggedy old hole with the edges of the drywall showing.
We are also going to fix up our bedroom this weekend.... in that we have been short on storage space thanks to crappy small closets, so we bought a lovely chest of drawers a while ago which I've occupied 90% of. This week I bought another chest identical (in the sale) for G so we can have one chest either side of the window and we're going to ditch the rather useless dresser that we have which doesn't have much in the way of useful storage space and put it downstairs in a guest room. Then we can turn our bed around to face the window, put some nice sheer panels up, and all that remains to be done after that is a coat of paint and some new closet doors. It'll be nice to get the room half decent....... esp as a certain new addition to the family will be sleeping in it for the first while!
