Sooooooo damn hot

Being a typical miserable brit I have to say this weather is doing my head in.
Yeah lovely when we get a break from the rain and the dulldrum but not so good when your 18 weeks pregnant and swollen to the point of needing to see a vet rather than a doctor!!!

Im fairly happy when its raining here, over cast ,windy and hail doesnt phase me but when I have to put my clothes on straight from the washing machine as its far to hot to put anything on thats dry its time to worry.

Ive had enough!!!!! Ive even spent an hour and a half in Sainsburys with my hands in the fridge section, wrist deep in order to cool my pulse points.
If I sit on my leather settee in anything other than fully clothed I manage to rip a layer of skin off when I try to get up.

Weather like this wasnt intended for pregnant women or fat birds and when you happen to be both its a recipe for disaster.
Nope give me a good ole fashioned british down pour any day and ill be smiling and content.

Another addition to the family

Well after 5 years and several vows of "never again" I find myself well and truly expectant of the patter of tiny feet, 3 am feeds ,pooey nappies and wind!Shock is begining to wear off and shear panic has begun to set in!! Being so tired I cant make it through a half hour edition of east enders and wanting to eat everything , at this rate theyll be ordering me bed rest at 4 months before I need a crane to get me down the drive!!!Ive read all the articles about optimum health and ideal weight before getting pregnant and realised that actually I'd prob of needed to have my jaw wired and my stomach stapled to achieve any where near normal weight before this baby comes along.

To scan or not to scan

Hmmmmmmmmm to scan or not to scan, that is the question

Right so this is the dilemma.
This is definitely my last pregnancy, there will be no more after this one.
It being the last time will ever feel a life growing inside me ,I have been looking into 4D scans. These scans are performed at 26-32 weeks generally and produce the most astonishing pictures.
They are a world apart from the black and white indecipherable ones you get routinely at the hospital.
They are an amazing insight into the womb and are a keep sake that will last forever.
The black and white ones which you pay £4.00 a go for fade over time where as these are printed in wax and will never fade.
You get a 30 minute scan on dvd and several pictures of your baby in various postitons , they will even accuratelyy ( because of the quality of the pictures) tell you the sex of the baby if you want .
No were getting to the problem, the package price for all of this is £190.00.
Hmm it is a lot of money - I know - I know a new pram , a new cot etc
I mentioned it to my partner who quickly dismissed it saying "No i'ts too much money" and briskly went about searching to buy cricket tickets on eBay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hmmmmm
Well I know it's a lot of money but it's something that is really beginningng to draw me in and and make me yearn it.
This is it , in a few years time I won't have the black and white pics which I have now because they will have faded, 4d scanning wasn't around when I had my other 2 children.
I see it as a fantastic oportunity or is it just a waste of money .
What would you do?
