5+1

6 tests done, still pregnant! It might sink in one day... Went to see the doc, and have been referred to the hospital. Doc advised me to stop breastfeeding, apparently the unborn baby won't get any nutrients! What a load of old tosh!! At least I know now not to tell anyone I'm still breastfeeding. Doc also prescribed me a ton of pills...folic acid, calcium and multi vitamins. I rattle when I walk!! The sickness wore off today, but pregnancy brain is kicking in; forgetting things, losing focus, what was I talking about?

I went shopping today and bought a maternity top from Peacocks. Grey, 3/4 length sleeves, with a cowl neck and fake undershirt. It's really nice, and not obviously 'maternity' so should last a while. I also bought a couple of parenting magazines, even though I've done the baby thing 5 times before, I still need to read up on everything I can!

We've made the decision to use cloth nappies again, even though we don't have any left over. A birth to potty set from totsbots costs around £200, and I'm hoping people won't mind contributing to the cost instead of getting a gift for the baby, far more practical in my opinion.

The tiredness is starting to kick in big time. I'm absolutely shattered!! I really need to reaorganise my house before I get too big, but I barely have the energy to go to the loo, let alone clear up the kids mess and move things around! Still farting loads, feeling really bloated, my sense of smell is better than a dogs! Also very very hot. And moody. But the spotty face has gone so who cares!!!
