Movement? Bump?

Ahhhh! A nice Saturday off, which in my opinion has been fairly spent (considering the insanely awful downpouring weather).

Firstly I would like to annouce that I am offically in maternity clothes. I had a bit of a panic/cry at work when my trousers arrived because I'd expected to be able to wear them straight away - my normal work trousers have been horribly uncomfortable for the last 2 weeks and I've been wearing old high-waisted black trousers that are stained with holes in the crotch (yes, like tramp trousers) which are uncomfortable as of this week. The reason for this (I assume) is because the ulterus is moving upwards and is no longer so low, so pressure in the middle of my tummy doesn't feel so good either. Anyway - the problem with the trousers provided by work is that they were long. Very, very long. I'm 5'7" so by no means short, I can wear 'long' length clothes and generally they are exceptable. These trousers came needing to be adjusted, properly hemmed - and after sitting on the floor in the admin office for 30 minutes with a stapler and a pair of scissor, I discovered that it would require a bit more professionism.

This led to me getting stupidly hormonal and upset that I had to spend 9 hours on my feet feeling really uncomfortable. I burst into tears and had to calm myself down in the toilets (no one saw me but when I went down and everyone said I looked upset I erupted into tears again...very embarressing.). My Co-ordinator, who although I disliked at first, is extremely supportive to pregnant women (for some utterly unknown reason) and tried to get me a pair of trousers from the sale floor (nice £35 of black pregnancy jeans) but eventually I met up with the lovely Helen from VM (Visual Merchandising) and she hemmed my trousers - Yay! I hate making a fuss but was glad that it got sorted :-)

At home I'm either in my painting clothes (Medium sized mans t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms, covered in paint) or PJs basically. I have more maternity stuff coming but until then I'm trackin' it. Obviously in public I still wear jeans and a decent top, or if I have visitors.

So I am pretty sure I have a bump these days and I get little odd feelings late at night when I am relaxed and still - something between a twinge and a poke, which I'm hoping is the start of Ixxy kicking.

Baby this week is pencil lenght, bulked out to about the width of an avocardo. Eyes and ears are in place and its grip and sucking reflexes are developing (it can suck its thumb and grab the umbillical cord!) amazing, but also quite strange.

A lady at work was buying for a sister-in-law's premmie, who was born 3 months early at 4lbs. Madness, if I was three months early Ixxy could make an appearance as early as September! That's no time at all! :-S

Due to Zoe's demands I will try and blog more frequently. Guys, seriously get accounts so you can comment rather than me feeling like I'm writing to myself...

Am I writing to myself?

Oh well :-) x
