Counting Down ....

I wasn't sure whether I'd keep this blog going once I found out I was expecting, as life was in for a big change, and then I thought that it might be good to keep a record of what I did manage to get up to with a growing bump.

Either way, the blog is still here but I haven't been posting.

I am now counting down to d-day. Its strange, I guess I'm able to still do more than a lot of women at the latter stages of their pregnancy and I'm really grateful for that,  but also I'm not doing what I secretly hoped I might still be able to do. Mostly its just been tiredness that has stopped me! An unrelenting tiredness which I couldn't get away from - quite hard to deal with when you're normally a bit of a duracell bunny. It also meant that work had to come first, and everything else second, unless I pulled a huge sickie..

So, I'm still getting out walking albeit very slowly now and for short distances. A good thing about living where I do it that there's no shortage of beautiful scenery, but I have to gaze longingly up the fell tops for now. I've also been doing aqua-natal, not something I'd normally touch with a barge pole, but have found it fun. I've also been spending more time doing yoga and our pilates ball has been getting much more use!

So, its with some excitement that I'm looking forward to the next step. I know its going to be very hard, but to be able to get out with the baby in the summer will be great - if we get a summer that is!
