Time For An Update!!

I'd basically forgotten about my blog! So much so that I didn't realise it was all set up to an old email, which I hadn't accessed for nearly 2 years :-D


Well much has happened in that relatively short time. I have decided to start writing on here again to progress my pregnancy....mostly as it will be my last one, and to chart how it feels to be an 'older' mother.

I had my first daughter when I was 20 and so naive...looking back I was still just a child!

I will be 37 when this bundle arrives...and its a big bundle....I'm expecting twins :-o

My partner and I are still getting over the shock of the scan!

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and am just getting a bump now. I was so nauseous for the first 14 weeks that I lost nearly a stone in weight, however the bonus of that is that i'm still in my 'normal' clothes. I doubt for very much longer though....

The 2 eldest girls have taken it all very well, I think they are quite excited....and hopefully it will be enough to put them off having babies until they are at least 30, haha.

The 'soon to be' middle two don't quite get it yet I don't think. Maybe once my bump starts knocking them over in a morning it may become real for them.

I'm writing this whilst at work....got my part-time job working with adults with learning disabilities and right now its IT sessions....which means computer time :-) I hope to stay at work for as long as possible, but understand my role may change as I probably won't be much 'support' when i'm a big blob. I don't really fancy working up in the office, but I suppose if it means I get longer off after the birth, I'll put up with it.

Now the sicky feeling has gone I'm able to eat, but my stomach is already being squished (I carry my babies high!) so I'm still not managing full portions....so going for the little and often approach. Have totally gone off chicken...again....so sticking to veggies. 

Time for lunch at work, will hopefully update each week...and put up a scan pic when I figure it out!
