Love, bubs and life on our little farm

Yep almost in the third trimester wow. I am feeling pretty good - am getting some sleep thankfully. Bub is still very active and loves to kick me in the cervix which is such an indescribable pain. She reaches out her limbs and pushes them out of my tummy, which is so cute but also hurts!

I am feeling much less dizzy since taking the iron tablets for anaemia. Now I am getting those horrible muscle cramps in my legs and feet that just wont release. So I trotted off to the chemist this morning to grap some magnesium tablets - they were the only thing that helped last time. I have started getting intense lower back aches by the end of the day - no real surprise when you consider what my back has been carrying around all day. I am also finding the Braxton Hicks are surprisingly strong - I sometimes have to stop and breath through them.

My tummy just keeps popping out, some of my maternity tops from last time are already not covering my bump!

Bubs is just like Elka was and gets the hiccups after nearly every meal. My morning nausea has almost settled down and I am finding I have a good appetite but no room in my tummy to fit my meals!

Tomorrow is my gestational diabetes test - yuk! I don't drink soft drink at all so I find the glucose drink so overpowering. Oh well its all for the best.

I am still surprised at how little I am nesting this time round. I have been thinking of pulling down the 0000 clothes and washing them since we have so much water in our tanks at the moment but with potentially 14 weeks to go I think its still a bit soon. I am ignoring planning the nursery because of the house extensions that will hopefully be starting soon. One day bubs will have a nice room lol! Maybe when she is 6!

I am off to order the capsule and baby swing that we are hiring - that will make me feel slightly more organised I think!
