Hoping to be a yummy Mummy with a bit of a moan.
Not one to normally post pictures of myself on here i thought that today i would. I was quite impressed that i was able to dress myself and put boots on. It was a matter of flinging the boot up in the air and hopefully catching it on my foot and praying that i had enough energy to do up the buckle things.
I actually sent the top picture to my hubby hoping that he thought that i might possible be a yummy Mummy.
You see i have been feeling awful of late. Other than being struck down with a cold from the pits of death i have been coping with feeling terribly down due to not being able to do half the things that i have normally done in the past.
I popped the other two pictures on so you can see how big my baby bump has grown and heaven help anyone who says i look fat.
Considering i cant fit into much i thought that i did quite well on the style front and was going for the winter lovely look. Hopefully i achieved it as i so want to be a yummy Mummy and not a frumpy Mummy.
So i havent been around for a while. Well there are good reasons for that. Here are a few lot of things that have been getting me down of late -
-I cant really walk very far as the baby squashes my lungs and i get breathless. It took me a very long time to get to Tesco’s earlier when normally it takes 10 mins.
-I have obviously been worrying about how much time i do not have left. The looming birth is close and all i can think about it getting 10cm or more out of my fanny lady garden.
- I have been getting heartburn and its the worst thing ever.
- My boobs lady lumps do not look like my own.
- There is so much to do around the house that i want to get done before the bub gets here.
- There is so many things that i want to make for family for Christmas but it is so much energy that i just dont have.
- Our wedding anniversary was crap poo but i just dont want to talk about it.
- I am so tired of peeing in the middle of the night that my fanny lady garden is starting to hurt.
- No matter what i do or put on i still look like i am about to pop.
- I am hating being stared at. I mean i am not the first woman to have a baby!
- We cant go to ‘the boys’ Christmas party due to a lot of reasons to do with me being pregnant.
- My brother still hasnt talked to me and it has now been 8 months.
- There are a few family things that i am worrying about.
- I struggle to get out the bath.
- I cant wash up for to long as i cant reach the sink and just get soaked.
- I cant seem to cook and bake that much as it is just to tiring standing up for so long and have to have rests in between which takes out all the fun in baking which normally calms me down.
- I want to go to the Cinema and see Stardust as my brother in law did all the special effects in it. But i cant sit still for that long.
- I hate seeing a dirty house (meaning dusty) so clean and then have to lie down.
- I just hate not having my body to myself.
- I have water retention in my feet.
- I feel as if no one cares.
- I want to go out…. out out out and enjoy myself but i just cant.
You see there has been a lot of things that have been getting me down. And they have all piled on top of me. I have been depressed and miserable and stuck in a rut. I feel ugly adn minging and just want to feel special and lushious and smell of lush stuff. There is still 10 weeks before i recieve my lovely bundle of joy that will complete me but it seems a very long time at the moment.
So for now. Just for now. I am blue.
what you need is another cute baby pic – will see what i can do xx
aw thanks. x
You know, one of the first things I thought when I saw your pics is that you are not fat looking. You look like a healthy pregnant woman! So just filter out the “you’re huge” comments!
Hello yummy mummy to be! I know that it’s all a bit rotten for you but it is all part and parcel of pregnancy unfortunately. Daffy is on holiday in Croatia this week but I’ll ask her to stop by when she gets back to both reassure and cheer you up.
Meanwhile you take care, and keep smiling. Hugs xx
Thanks NIkki. I try and ignore those comments but its hard when your feeling vunarable. I am definately healthy i eat a lot of chocolate. lol.
Aw thanks Flighty. So i am not bad then, ust a bit yummy. I know its part of the parcel i just hope the parcel gets here at Christmas and not to long after.
I know Daffy will reasure me i hope that she is having a nice holiday.
Hey, you’re looking good…………….
hi hi. Lovely to see your pics, you look great, dont feel down hun, youve got so much to be excited about. Theres nothing fat about you, youve just got a big baby bump which is totally normal, id be worried if your bump wasnt big as it means your baby isnt growing properly, so everyday when you look in the mirror you should smile to yourself that youve got a lovely healthy baby inside that bump!
Thanks Georgia. Yeah your right. I was chatting to my mum and she said that she carried all out the front and so did my sister. So i guess at least i know its healthy as we were all healthy. x
Thanks Boso.
You look great! Don’t be blue; it’s just part of being pregnant. We’ve all been there and done that. I carried all four of my bundles straight out in front; couldn’t tell I was pregnant from the back, but oh, my, the front… trust me, you’ll forget all about it when you see your own little sweet baby! (I found you via nikki)
Cheer up dear! Pregnancy can have you feeling that way, but once your baby comes, you will be in love and happy! You look cute and I laughed at the imagery of putting on your boots. Reminds me of myself during pregnancy. Good luck!

Hey you, totally working your winter look there!
Hope you feel better soon, Georgia is right you have whole stacks to look forward too!
I totally agree – you look sensational, the picture of health! Come on petal, we can bloop you out of this. When you feel like your body isn’t your own, just remind yourself of the amazing thing you are doing! Carrying a little one into the world is pretty special. So special that Him Upstairs decided that only ladyfolk would be able to do it!!
Besides, you can’t be blue, I am
xxxxx
Hey Willow thanks for popping by with some encouragement. I know that i will just forget how i am feeling now when i am cuddling my little girl. Its just hard when i am not a patient person. I guess i am learning the hard way.
Hey Solo thanks for saying i look cute. Its pretty cold here at the moment and i am gearing up for bonfire night and Christmas. Hoping there is going to be some snow. Heres hoping. Im glad im not the only one who struggles to get dressed. x
Blue, maybe i can be pink and flushed then
. I dont think that anything can prepare a woman for pregnancy. It is just a totally unique experience for each woman. But yes i do thank God for the experience as i know that there are many women that struggle to concieve at all. It is really special and thank goodness men cant do it. Could you imagine how much more whinging they would do. They would be dying everyday!! I am just having a bad patch. And am looking forward to holding my little bundle and getting back on track.
People are already asking me if i am going to have another one. Ugh give me a chance!. xx
Fabby you look lovely! as always! x
Tell me who’s been saying you look Fat and I will have words!! They are clearly stupid!
And You DO have friends that care.. xx
Oh how warm and snuggly do you look!
x
Thanks Jason. Unfortunatley its strangers that say those things. Like in shops and stuff. x
Pinky thanks. I was very warm when i got home from the shops. I had to strip off. x
You are absolutely beautiful! I think that’s why people stare at you; it’s like looking at a painting that touches something in you and so you keep looking.
Maybe the next time some random nitwit says something like that to you you should start crying. They will feel so bad and maybe they won’t say anything so stupid to anyone else.
There are a lot of chemicals and hormones in you right now that cause you to feel a lot of things. You can’t just get over it or snap out of it but you can’t beat yourself up over it either. You recognize it for what it is and know that those bad feeling are neither real nor permanent. They don’t just go away after the birth, either. Those hormones are still there in their teeming hordes for awhile and it’s even more important then to recognize that that’s not really you, either. You don’t feel blue because of some fault of yours and you’re not dumb or selfish for feeling that way during what is called ‘the happiest time of your life’.
You are doing an excellent job of being pregnant. Good on you!
Thanks Peri that really cheered me up. I should just embrace these hormones huh. I think that its hard when i seem to be everyones property when pregnant. People think they can stare and even touch. But i think i will def try the crying bit. I am not finding it hard to cry at the moment at all.
Thank you for saying im beautiful thats so lovely. *sniff* see doesnt take much for me to cry. x
Can I just say you are looking great! (no? – tough – I’m saying it anyway – “YOU LOOK GREAT” )
(you know, I can’t ever imagine babies coming out; but they always do and have done for millions of years… yeah, there will probably be some pain, but it will be brief and over quite quickly ( plus – they have drugs if you need them
); then you’ll be holding one of the most precious and beautiful things we are ever given in your arms… smiling, and feeling so proud and happy)
Take care of yourself
and well done on getting the boots on
hugs

You are a Yummy Mummy, you are going to be a lovely mum and the things you are going to be able to experience with your family will far out-do what you are missing at the moment. I must say I have to agree with lovely Mas and congratulate you on getting the boots on! Very impressive technique! xxxxxx
