23 Weeks

I'm not really keeping a close eye on how many weeks pregnant I am (I had to look it up) but I think all is fairly on track. I'm definitely feeling pretty big now. I don't think I'm quite as big as I was with the boys but I'm certainly carrying this little lady alot differently. My arse is enormous, as are my hips and thighs, my stomach not as big.

According to the 'your baby at 23 weeks' page I was just reading, I might notice a little swelling now. No shit. Bit late there. Meanwhile the beta blockers which I'm on seem to have had little effect on the swelling that I do have, but I am starting to get used to them I think- in that I am no longer too tired to get off the couch. I see the Cardiologist next week for a followup appointment. I also have another scan next week.

This pregnancy has started to affect my brain. I pranged the car yesterday (the insurance are going to love me - a ticket for speeding and a crash all in one month) outside Dylans school. Totally my fault - misjudged how much room I had. Thankfully the other person wasn't too angry!

Meanwhile, we have an estate agent coming round this afternoon to talk about how much this place might be worth if we sold without finishing the work. Fingers crossed. Am I mad contemplating moving house immediately after a new baby is born? Yes.
