(30th August 2021: I failed as being pregnant I couldn’t completely replicate how she does it. It’s more leaning back from a seated position, but I thought I better be careful. It was a hot day, so I wore less than I originally intended to.)
#SometimesBLeansBackAtStaresAtTheCeilingWhileInHerHighchair
I made a note of this in my ‘pictures to take’ memo 3 weeks ago.
#AtOneOfHerBabyClassesSheWillJustLeanBackAndLookAtTimes
She did it at the last class.
#ThoughThereIsADiscoBallHangingDownButIAmNotSureIfSheHasActuallyNoticedIt
I like to try to see what she is looking at. At my Nan’s house she does have some nice patterns in the paint on the ceiling, but I guess she is just taking in all of her environment.
#SheHasHerThirdToothComingThroughWhichIsHerFirstInHerTopGum
I thought I saw something a few days ago but thought it was just saliva, but then I realised the day after that it was the start of a tooth.
#SheIsGettingMoreConfidentWithTakingStepsAndItWillNotBeLongBeforeSheIsReallyWalking
I wrote the hashtags while B played with her toys, which is the first time I’ve wrote and she’s played. As I was thinking what to write B walked from the table to an activity table that my Nan got for her.
#WeNeedToGetHerSomeProperShoes
We have some shoes, but I can not even get them on her feet. Last time I did they cut her heel a bit, so yeah she needs shoes. I need to find somewhere to get her measured…
#WeHaveResignedOurselvesToTheFactThatSheJustWakesUpAtFiveFortyEveryDayNow
The other night it was 11pm and I was struggling to sleep. I knew I would regret it, but actually yesterday I didn’t have a nap and felt okay. I went to nap during her first nap, but she woke up as soon as I pulled my eye mask on and lay my head down (I had been doing some work first).
I am writing this blog post while B is having a nap. I don’t feel particularly tired, but I will at least lie down and have a rest.
#IOnlyNoticedTheOtherDayHowItIsSoLightSoLateAtNightButNowItWillStartToGoTheOtherWay
It was the 20th June and I was like ‘ooh it’s 10pm and it’s still light! Oh yeah tomorrow is the longest day of the year…’
#IWonderWhenOrIfSheWillStartToSleepInABitLater
I think we have to keep acting like she will never sleep in late again so we don’t go to bed too late. At the moment T and I are having a nice chat before we go to sleep, which sounds basic but we didn’t have time for it for a while. It’s important.
#IAttendedAnOnlineClassAboutFeedingToddlersSoIKnowABitMoreNowAboutWhatSheNeedsToEatAtEveryMeal
Carbs at every meal/snack. More energy dense foods. Okay.
#CookingIsDifficultAtTheMomentAsIGenerallyFeelSickWhenDoingItButINeedToPullMyWeightMore
I managed to make a mushroom and leek pie while B crawled around me yesterday. Though T helped with the puff pastry, but it felt good to contribute as I have been so rubbish lately.
#IHaveStartedToBeSickMoreRegularlySinceMyLastEntry
I was sick after finishing my last post.
#YesterdayIHadTheDentalHygienistAndIWasReallyWorriedThatIWouldBeSickAtMyAppointment
I was really anxious about it.
#IWasGettingReadyAndWasAboutToBrushMyTeethWhenIWasSick
I was a bit relieved.
#BetterThatItWasBeforeThanDuringButIWasWorriedThatISmelledOfSick
I arrived just on time, though someone beat me to reception so it seemed like I was late. I had been trying to make sure I didn’t smell of sick.
#IWasRelievedToWalkIntoTheAppointmentAndSeeItWasTwoWomen #IFeltLessAwkwardAboutSayingSorryIShouldWarnYouButIHaveBadMorningSickness
If there had been two guys I would have said it, but I would have felt more awkward for sure.
#IHadThoughtAboutCancellingTheAppointmentButIReadThatDentalHygieneIsReallyImportantWhenYouArePregnant
Your gums bleed more, which might be why when I went to have a tooth out my gums might have been bleeding a lot when they were checking me over beforehand. I had that tooth removed as ibruprofen was the only thing that helped and I knew that you’re not really supposed to take ibruprofen when you’re pregnant. I didn’t want the pain to get worse and then have a tooth out when I was possibly heavily pregnant. It was a good job that I had it out when I did.
#IFeelLikeIShouldBeMorePregnantThanEightWeeksByNowAndMaybeIAmOrMaybeIAmNot
Time moves in weird ways. Sometimes I look quite pregnant, but it’s more of a food baby I think.
#IAmYetToHearAnythingAboutAnAppointmentSoIJustHaveToWaitAndSee
I did miss a call from a mobile number last week. They never left a message though so it probably was just spam.
#IHaveBeenGettingTheChillsALotLatelyWhichIDoNotRememberHavingWithB
I’ll go really cold. Put my jacket on. Then I’m hot in a few minutes.
#IResearchedAboutItAndApparentlyItIsCommonAsYourHormonesAreAllOverThePlace
Great.
#MyNanLikesToPutTheHeatingOnHighSoTheChangeInTemperatureProbablyDoesNotHelp
Heating on maximum. Turn it down. Sun comes out. Etc etc.
#WeHaveStartedToSeeMorePeopleLatelyWhichIsReallyNice
After so long without seeing many people at all.
#AFriendCameToSpendTheDayAndItWasReliefAsTheWeekDaysAreSoLong
It was so nice to hang out and have someone else giving B attention. We all had a nap when B had her second nap. I was glad that she didn’t mind me going off to sleep and she said she fell asleep too.
#WeWillSpendTheWeekendWithSomeFriendsAndTheirKidsThisWeekendSoIAmLookingForwardToThat
We went away with them a few years ago and we were the only couple who did not have kids. There were 4 kids then and now there are 7. If this pregnancy goes well then we will all have 2 kids each.
#ItIsWeirdHowBIsOneAndSheIsStillYetToMeetSoManyPeople
*Shrug* What can we do?
#IHopeThatSheWillMeetMorePeopleBeforeSheHasASiblingSoSheDoesNotHaveToShareTheAttentionButItIsWhatItIs
I know a lot of people will not see me until I potentially have two kids and that might be weird for them to see. I keep saying potentially as I am still nervous about things as it is early days. Morning sickness is meant to be a good sign, but it is never concrete.
#IWasThinkingThisMorningThatItIsWeirdThatWeMayHaveAnotherChildInSevenMonthsTime #IKnowIAmPregnantAndWhatThatMeansButIStillDoNotReallyEquateItWithUsBeingAFamilyOfFourYet
I guess things will be more real when we have a scan or an appointment. At the moment I am finding it hard to get my head around, I think so much of my time is focused on B that in ways I probably do not think about it all as much as when I was pregnant with her.
Fingers crossed for it all. Time to have a lie down. I’m feeling sleepier now…

I am 8 weeks pregnant in the new image, though it hadn’t been confirmed yet. Cramps still make me worry. With B I was usually sick more in the mornings, but with baby X I was sick more in the evenings. I was never actually sick in public with B, but I was sick in front of people last week, which wasn’t very nice…
This time I wasn’t really travelling about because of B and Covid (I’ve only been on a train two or three times for short journeys since she was born), so I’ve hopefully missed that phase this time.
I also told more people via messages that I was pregnant this time before I announced it as I knew I would not see many people in person before hand.
But morning sickness is and was HORRIBLE. Some things don’t change…
