Crap at blogging
I’m prevaricating here - I have an essay on NHS management to proof read & I’m not finding the motivation to do it.
Well its hot, far too hot for me to be any thing more than a fairly rubbish mum (oh & wife & friend). All I want to do is sleep, I am in desperate need of a break but know that if I send Claudia off anywhere she’ll be even more exhausting when she gets back.
We’ve been doing loads of cooking (in our kitchen!!!!! I’ll try and get some photos this weekend) - baking & proper food, C is still eating fairly well although every meal starts with ‘this is disgusting [gag]’. She isn’t sleeping & is incredibly touchy.
We went swimming yesterday afternoon (must go to the morning session in future, it was very busy) - C had a great time (apart from when she told me that I didn’t like her anymore & always shout at her) & can now swim under water! She wanted to go in the driving pool as well, next time she can. I was grumpy & horrible - I hate the noise & the crowds. There was hair in the pool which is a particular neurosis of mine & I spent the whole time feeling sick & skin crawly. Then I shouted at C because she needed the loo - they are totally foul. Simon can take her in future.
We haven’t been reading as much as I’d like to [excuse I have a permanent headache], only a couple of picture books a day - I haven’t been organised enough to get to the library [too hot to walk, don’t want to drive, library fine, too many people].
C’s been ‘doing science’ this week though - lots of Brainpop which she loves, making body models with flaps & her CGP books. Also lots of maths & writing, she hasn’t wanted to do any reading for a few days.
So its all pretty blah really. I hate, hate, hate being pregnant, I feel awful. This time I’m a 1000 times less ill than I was with C but it still completely sucks. I’m 27 weeks measuring 34, huge, hot, uncomfortable, anaemic & permanently terrified. 12 weeks to go. And injections, I’ve had a year now of daily injctions, I’m running out of places to stab myself.
I told Claudia about the baby, a box of clothes I’d ordered arrived & I asked her to unpack it for me; delighted doesn’t cover it. God I hope we don’t let her down.
Oh Babe
Lovely to see you at the weekend, hope the weather cools down soon. xxx

yeah, it’s sweltering up here so goodness knows how bad it is for all you lot. I hated being pregnant in the summer, it’s crap.
looking forward to photos of the kitchen!

I hate public pools at the best of time never mind pregnancy! I refuse to take mine- I’m such a lovely mummy
Spend the next 12 weeks in Alison’s pool? Ban the kids!
