Things that have happened this week:
- Christmas! This year was a good Christmas. We went to my Mums and spent the day with her, my sister and family. It was a very early start as her two sons were far too excited to sleep but the day was great. Lovely present from lovely fella - a weekend away in a posh hotel in Oxford - while I'm still able to move!
- I was lying in the bath a few days ago and looked down at my belly. It was bigger just to the left of my belly button. Feeling it I could feel a curve of something about the size of my hand (I have small hands). I kept feeling it all day, hoping it was a baby rather than my intestines! Eventually I gave it a poke and it moved to the other side of my belly button!
- My belly has grown significantly this week. I still think it looks more like I'm carrying a cake baby than anything else but, naked, there is a real pregnancy curve to it. This saturday just gone I was up 3 pounds on the week before - Christmas or growing babies? I'm just over a stone heavier now - all on my belly and boobs.
- Boxing Day I woke up with a very swollen boob. My sister said it was normal but should go away (it did).
- I spoke to my other sister Christmas Day. She asked if I was having heartburn, I said no. Since then it has arrived! So far milk is sorting it out.
What most of the above have highlighted is that I am a first time pregnancy lady. I honestly have no clue what is normal and what is not. I'm worrying that we'll get Twin to Twin transfusion syndrome so am freaking out at any change in case that's what it is. Stupid thing is with pregnancy you change day to day. You are in a constant state of change (and therefore worry in my case).
I want to only pull the emergency brake at the right time but when that is? God knows and I don't.
Lovely fella reminds me we are having very regular scans (next one due 30th Dec) and that's the doctors job. He is right of course. I just want to be a good mum to my babies. The protectiveness thing has definitely hit.
Anyway hope you all had a good Christmas and thank you for reading my random musings. x
