Big old elephant drea

Now I am quite lucky because although I have gained weight all over most of it has been on my belly, but there is no denying that my belly is a very big one.

When I went for my latest mid-wife check and I told Jamie how much I weighed he said ‘Whoa that’s massive,’ Can you believe it? Supportive husband my arse.

And then the other day when I was walking away he said to me ‘You have put on weight on your bum.’ What a sod, I need to do some serious re-husband training.

Below photographic evidence of the massive baby belly and huge arse.

Me in early March, you will notice I am not wearing a bra and I am still posting this picture because the maternity bras I wear at the moment are so hideous they make no difference to the shape of my boobs anyway.


And me last week trying to see my feet and failing, I can’t even remember that last time I saw my fanny.

Last Sunday it was Jamie and I 2nd wedding anniversary and the present is cotton, and we bought each other the same present! We both got each other new cotton bathrobes which is kind of sweet and kind of creepy at the same time.

Hello little Bennett

This is my babies face at 34 weeks. It’s cute I know you don’t need to tell me. Also the lady that did the scan said the baby has a big head. Why would you tell me this? Why? and also it’s a massive monster. Already it’s 5 pounds 8 ounces and I have six weeks to go. It better stop growing my internal organs are getting squashed.

But on the upside it is all ready to go facing the exit and now I think it is a girl because it is a lazy bugger and doesn’t move all that much expect to tell me if I am in a position that it doesn’t like, it gives me a good kick and doesn’t quit until I move. In fact it just kicked me now because it felt the tiniest bit of pressure from my laptop. It is a stubborn girl, Jamie said like it’s Mum, I would love to disagree but I do have a bit more self-awareness than that.

Weekend mini-break

The baby is coming! So Jamie and I went away to the country for the weekend because we didn’t know when we would be able to have another holiday, also I had forgotten what fresh air smelled like. And did you know when you are not in London you can see stars at night? I had forgotten.

Anyway we went out to west sussex or Kent or somewhere and had two days r&r before the baby came. We went for a walk which felt like about 10 k’s long and it took us an hour to walk it when we looked on the map it was about half a kilometre. I am a slow moving creature at the moment.

Then we went and had lunch in a cafe where we were the youngest people by about 100 years. And get this Jamie had a chicken roll and chips, I had an egg sandwich and we had a scone, a coffee and a smoothie and it cost us about 20p. Awesome non-london prices.

We had a swim and I had to use a flotation device because my baby was weighing me down and then I had a massage and ate delicious three course meal and fell sleep.

Below are photos.

Jamie likes this photo of me I think i look hideous.
