I am currently in soooo much pain it’s not even funny, i feel like I’d like to stick my head into a tub of cold water, yogurt anything cool đŸ™
Had a family day yesterday which meant swimming and spending time in the sun. I went covered in a kaftan, wearing a hat and sunscreen, and when I got home I was feeling fine, nothing wrong with me, I even lectured my sunburnt sister on the importance of wearing sunblock, then I woke up this morning looking like my face was auditioning to be rudolf’s nose, everything (esp. my lips) are red,sore and swollen! and I’m quite ready to cry actually. OUCH!
I tried covering up with make-up, but it’s not really working as you can see…

not my finest hour

This week and the baby: Week 14

According to my last scan week fourteen didnt start yesterday, it only starts tomorrow, but since I’ve decided to make Monday’s about the baby, it’s only right I continue and share what babyzone.com has to say about the baby and the coming week 🙂

14 Weeks Pregnant: Are You Showing?

Pregnancy Week 14: All About Baby

At 14 weeks your baby is a regular wiggler, but because of his small size you probably won’t feel it yet. Your baby-to-be’s face is becoming more distinguishable as his eyes move closer together and his ears move closer to their final positions. He’s also growing soft baby hair all over his body, which is thought to help anchor developing skin, as well as forming hair on his eyebrows and scalp. He may hiccup too, even though his lungs are filled with fluid, not air.

This week with the baba (13th)

It’s the first day of week 13 can’t believe time is moving so fast, here is what babyzone.com says about this week:

13 Weeks Pregnant: A Week to Celebrate!
Week 13 marks a milestone for your baby-to-be. Developmentally speaking she’s no longer an embryo, but a fetus. She’s looking—and acting—more and more like a baby every day. She appears to be resting because her eyelids have formed and are fused together, but her arms and legs move and twitch (although you probably can’t feel it … yet). She can suck her thumb, too.

I’m feeling extremely blessed, even though I’m moody and bloated and kinda “bleughy”  This baby and I are both  surrounded by so much love, from friends, family colleges it’s been quite overwhelming.

I’m only just entering the second trimester and gifts have even started coming in, we received this stunning pregnancy journal from Sal this weekend (Thanks so much!!!)
 

And a few weeks ago we receive this really cool baby journal from Rob’s captain – It’s to take down all the big milestones and it is really stunning, such a pity I didn’t take a pic of it.

I have also received tons of baby mags and some great advice, thank you to everyone who has made me feel so loved (let me go before I cry – I can do that fairly quickly these days)
