When I took this blog on, I made a vow to myself that I would talk from the heart and report exactly how I am feeling and not do the typical 'celeb' thing and dress my pregnancy up, making everything sound perfect and unrealistic
But let's face it ladies, pregnancy is tough and even if you've had it fairly easy, it's still no walk in the park. Yep, as you can gather from my tone, I'm at that point... I just want it over now.
This week I've done absolutely nothing apart from lie on my back or go on the school run!
Actually, that's not all true, I've been nesting like you wouldn't believe. I've completely sterilised the house that my boys daren't make a move or touch anything.
I've talked about all my pregnancy highs and lows, the must haves, the do's and don't's, my ups and downs, feelings, cravings and if one more person comments on my bump and how it's looking, if I'm having a boy or a girl, I'm going to scream!
(It's no huge prediction, you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right so stop acting like you have the answer.)
I have just over 2 weeks to go and I'm over it. I want my body back! I really hope I don't go over because that could mean another 2 weeks on top of that too.
I treated myself to a pedicure at the weekend, which was lovely. As I sat back in the chair after being told I couldn't put on the massage setting, (which is another thing that is really annoying me, being told what I flipping can and can't do...The massage chairs barely do anything anyway) I started to zone out and think about all the things I can't wait to do after the baby is born.
Firstly, I can't wait to do all the gorgeous baby things, days out as a family showing our beautiful new addition off, the smell of baby in the air and having another child by my side but I really can't wait to do what I want with my body and just get back to my normal self.
Putting clothes on with ease. I really can't wait to be able to slip on a pair of socks without it being a daily challenge.
Shaving my legs, painting my toe nails, getting in and out of bed without looking like a struggling beetle on its back, getting items from cupboards, walking from A to B without feeling and sounding like I've done a 30 minute workout, not going to the toilet every 5 minutes, getting rid of the the waddle (I want to walk normally again).
Getting back into my shoes, putting my rings back on, thinking rationally, not crying at everything I see or hear, not having to take Gaviscon everytime I eat something, lying flat on my front, going for a run/gym (I just want to be active again) and finally, eating and drinking what I want. One of my first nights out or in with Sam will be a seafood, cheese and fine wine night.
Oh how I really can't wait. Come on baby Shaw-Greenfield come out already!
That's all for now and you well may have gathered, I'm hoping this is my last pregnancy blog.
Have a good week and weekend everyone! x
