New and Interesting things

Where to start? I have a baby inside me and my hormones and my body are doing very wierd things.

My hypersensitive sickness is still awful. I get sick just going into my bathroom now and I know it really needs a clean (but the thought of cleaning it also makes me sick). People smoking also makes me close to puking and I honestly don't know why, it has just grossed me out all of a sudden. I still find it difficult to brush my teeth in the morning as that makes me sick, so just aim to do it midday.

Since week 16 I have been feeling interesting motions in my belly which feel like Ixxy doing a backflip, not like any other sensation you get in your tummy really. Then just in the last few days the movements have become frequent and distinct, lots of swirling about and kicking I think but it is a very strange feeling that I'm not entirely sure I like. It's ok when I'm at home and getting all maternal, but at work it makes me feel really odd. I went swimming today and it was like the baby was swimming as well, huge amount of movement.

Other interesting things, I got a random nosebleed for no reason (because of all the extra blood in my body apparently that can easily burst a little artery in my nose) I don't think I've ever just had a nosebleed start, unless I got hit in the nose.

Back seems a bit better than last week (where being on my feet for half an hour became extremly painful), bloating/loss of appetite has re-emerged, but not as bad as before.

And yesterday morning I woke up (after having funny pains in my breasts) to find little crispy patches on my nighty. I thought nothing of it, but about ten minutes ago I found new wet patches and discovered that my left breast in leaking. It's hilarious, but also means that this breast will likely produce more milk (I have about 4 times the number of montgomery tubercles on that breast and it appears to be ever so sliiightly larger) and that I'll be leaking it in very large amount by week 30 or so...so I'll have to wear breastpads in my bra.

Can't believe I'm lactating already, what possible good can that do? Will be cool if I can donate breastmilk through, if this is an indication that I will be making lots. I'm quite fasinated by it really, hope baby likes the yummy milk that my boobs can't wait to give it!
