Pregnancy Diary: 12 Weeks

Size of baby according to the internet: Plum.

Belly Size: Looking more chubby than pregnant,, in fact I have looked worse after a large curry.

Number of cheese sandwiches eaten: Yesterday 2. Today so far: 3 and a cheese roll for a bit of variety (but the day is young)

I really hoped that I was turning a corner, after a few days of no sickness I was feeling slightly cocky. Then I woke up this morning and that immediate feeling came over me which told me I had poked fate in the eye with a big sharp stick. I have felt dodgy all day, and no matter how much I swallowed and done deep breathing, the sight of my neighbour being sick set me off. Now I know you are probably wondering what I was, why the hell is he being sick, I can only assume he is feeling poorly and hopefully it wasn’t the sight of me looking green. Back to the sickness medication for me I think!

Now I have gone public with my pregnancy I have been inundated with congratulations messages which really make me smile and actually have only had a few ‘Are you mad?’ comments, which is a relief as it seriously grates on my nerves. I am sure they are only jesting but for me (and I am hormonal remember)I find it really rude that they would imply I am mentally not sane just because I have made a concious decision to have a baby. It’s hardly like I don’t know what children will be like, after all I do have 3 already!
