Jellybean Watch – Week 29

Jellybean Watch – Week 29

Look at that belly! That’s freaking huge. I’ve approached the whale stage of pregnancy. My weekly pregnancy alert has informed me that this stage is where my body goes into lard collection mode. I’m sure there was a better way to word that. And I’m equally sure that the wording of blubber attraction for the [...]

The Ever Increasing To Do List

The Ever Increasing To Do List

I’m 23 weeks. I keep telling myself that I’m 5 months but in a horrifying three weeks I’ll be 6 months. And somehow that’s a whole lot more terrifying than three weeks. I have loads to do. Let’s recap the to do list. Paint Riley’s new bedroom and the baby’s new bedroom and maybe the [...]

The Grumpy Pregnant Lady

The Grumpy Pregnant Lady

I had a really good idea for this post but for the life of me I can’t remember what it was. Thanks, pregnant brain. It’s ok, I forgive you. I’m sure you take the blame plenty when it’s not really your fault. So given I have no recollection of what I’d planned, I’m stealing inspired [...]

Jellybean Watch – Halfway!

Jellybean Watch – Halfway!

At the end of last week I hit twenty weeks. Half way. It seems to have gone so fast. Although now I think it will slow right down. I’m starting to feel very, very pregnant. I waddle. I find it difficult to get up from a crouching position and am developing all manner of eww [...]

Pregnancy Unmentionables

Pregnancy Unmentionables

No. I haven’t missed the fact that it’s obviously not completely unmentionable if I’m writing about it. But still, sensitive readers look away. Look very far away. Or don’t but don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’ve always said that the middle bit of pregnancy (based on my extensive experience of one prior pregnancy) is [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 18

Jellybean Watch – Week 18

I’ve been a little lazy with my jellybean posts. Ok, a little lazy is a little bit of an understatement. But I’m beginning to realise how different a second pregnancy is. First time around, I had the time to pour over all kind of books that told me exactly what the development was, how big [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 13

Jellybean Watch – Week 13

So I might have skipped over just a few of my updates. And apparently I’m the laziest pregnant woman on the planet. Or that’s what you’d think if you listen to the receptionist at the radiology clinic. I might have forgotten about getting my 8 week dating scan. But in my defense, my doctor never [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 10

Jellybean Watch – Week 10

Well technically it’s week 10 for the next couple of hours anyway. Tonight while I was cuddling a poor, sick, and in desperate need of TLC toddler I felt a million little flutters going on, courtesy of the jellybean. So even though Riley doesn’t conceive of a baby at this stage (and probably won’t until [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 9

Jellybean Watch – Week 9

The body is weak. Very weak. This week I figured (in all of my wisdom) that as I wasn’t wracked with morning sickness I should get moving again and actually do something akin to exercise or possibly risk actually becoming part of the couch. Exercise involved step-ups (at home), yoga (at a new class) and [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 8

Morning sickness has arrived. Or all day sickness, to be more accurate. Which is a relief. One less thing to worry about. Although I might struggle to remember that when I’m rocking in the fetal position on the couch. Finding that salt and vinegar rice crackers makes it better was the grand achievement of this [...]
