However, some days I feel up to a power walk in the park first thing in the morning - which is a great way to start the day - good for mind and body.
Had about two weeks of hideous stomach bloating and endless gas which was extremely uncomfortable but that seems to have passed now.
Have brought out the pregnancy pants already! And how comfortable they are. Have done a big wardrobe review and packed away all those thing I've got no hope of fitting again for some time. I will need some more pairs of trousers and shorts and more tops, but have enough to wear for the moment as I still fit quite a lot of more ordinary clothes.
I hate to think how much weight I've put on already. I'm sure most of this stomach is just fat so far. It's all the eating I am doing. I tend to eat every 2 hours to stave of nausea and weakness. Lots of things peanut butter on crackers or toast, smoothies, plain pasta dishes, fruit cake drinks of milk and cheese.
Am feeling much more relaxed about telling people the news this time - told most people much earlier than the traditional 12 weeks.
Have started to think about setting up a room for the new baby. Lets hope the house renovations are completed in time! Otherwise there will have to be some significant changes to to other parts of the house. I think that Sophia is going to stay in her room for now, as I'd rather have a bigger room to put the baby in this time around. Sophia's room is very small and it was quite claustraphobic in that room last time.
