36 Weeks Pregnant

This week I have a cold yet again which sucks. 
We have played around with baby's travel system and sort of know how it works,
but the main thing is we know how to fit the car seat.
We also took over a ton of baby washing  to my mum's who will
be bringing it back over at some point to put all away.
I have also got around to packing mine and baby's hospital bags which are
almost done. 

How far along? 36 weeks today 

Symptoms:  Tiredness, still breathlessness when out and about, braxton hicks are still painful and frequent,  my feet and ankles have also swollen up now.  

Sleep: been waking up even more this week than usual

nights I wake up at 3am and then 6am. I also have to nap a lot more.

Best moment this week: Baby's cot and furniture all being built up it looks fab :)

Miss anything? Feeling comfortable

Movement: Loads of wiggles and kicks are still going strong 

Happy or moody most of the time: Moody well so my hubby tells me but i guess I have been quiet a bit this week

Looking forward to: 
- Being classed as full term next Wednesday 
- Having a relaxing pj day at some point this week
- putting the rest of baby's clothing away 

25 Weeks Pregnant

So today I had my GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test) which wasn't too bad. 
I had to not eat from 10pm yesterday evening until after the test which was about
11am today. 
I was fine with not being able to have breakfast as I usual get quiet nauseous
if I eat later than I am use to. 
I think the glucose drink really helped me to hold out. 
 I got my first lot of bloods taken at 9 am and then drank the
orange flavored drink and had to wait 2 hours in the waiting room and then 
at 11 am had another lot of bloods taken. 

If you have to have a GTT I would definitely recommend bringing something to distract you 
for the 2 hour wait. I brought a book with me which was a massive help at
making the time go. 

Yesterday I also managed to get a video on my phone of baby kicking me 
it's so cute as you can see baby's little kicks and movements. 
I wont be sharing the video though as Stuart and I wanted to keep the video for us 
to see only. 


How far along? 
25 weeks today 

Total weight gain: 
approx 17lbs 

Symptoms:
tiredness, leg cramp, loosing balance and heartburn 

Maternity clothes?
 Nothing new

Sleep:
 Waking in the night for loo trips and trying to get comfy also waking with leg
cramp in the mornings now.

Miss anything? 
 Not particularly 

Food cravings: 
Had a random urge to want to eat cake mix the other day.
I also now have a thing for all butter croissants. 

Anything making you queasy or sick:
  Other than having to skip breakfast today due to having GTT I've been fine

Happy or moody most of the time: Very Emotional
Best Moment this week: We have now ordered a few bits online ready for baby.
Mainly breastfeeding and nappy changing equipment. 
we still need to get the big bits like cot and bedroom furniture t
as well as cloth nappies which is going to be the items of the most expense. 

Looking forward to:
