A place for my pregnancy waffle

I set up this blog a few months ago when nobody even knew I was pregnant and I was wandering around with my little secret. Of course I had good intentions to diarise my secret pregnancy but a flurry of work, headaches, and life, and OK, a dodgy memory let it fall to the wayside.

Of course by the time I started thinking about doing a pregnancy and baby blog, I had revealed my secret. Since then, whilst I have shared my thoughts and fears about pregnancy and squeezing the bambino out of my va-jay-jay, there is vast amounts of information I want to share and find out. The boyf and I are not that clued up about everything and as the arrival of the bambino fast approaches (I'm 28 weeks today), we are starting to make the mountain of decisions that we need to about what we want to buy and how we want to start out.

I don't do things by half. I met the boyf a just under a year ago after a few years of juggling serial bad taste in men and an immune system disease. I met him just as life started to slot into place personally for me and my health took a turn for the better with the help of acupuncture. The past year has been fantastic and even finding out that we were pregnant became the most amazing thing after we'd gotten over the shock. I really couldn't be happier.

So what will this blog be about? My pregnancy, most likely the trauma of giving birth (something that has been a life long fear) and everything and anything about pregnancy and babies as I'm having to learn and research a lot. I've had a lot of people wanting to know what I plan to buy, what clothes I've brought and all sorts so this will be a home for it. It's a very exciting and slightly daunting time - Bambino due in 12 weeks, selling a flat, buying a house, learning to drive, preparing for bambino arrival, going on maternity leave in 6 weeks and managing crackhead grandmothers (not actual crack). Pray for me....

Pregnancy Support Pillow

Sleeping, sitting, standing, bending, pretty much everything that requires me to move a muscle is becoming quite a task. I've just ordered a multi-purpose support pillow on Mothercare (bit unimpressed with the steep delivery charge) which should be arriving tomorrow.

Apparently I can wedge this under the bump which is becoming rather weighty...but I can also use this as a feeding pillow. I fed my friends newborn the other day and even though he's a tiny little thing, after a while he started to weigh down so this pillow should prove to be a handy number.

£19.99 plus more postage than I can to remember...from Mothercare
