29 weeks pregnant and not looking forward to Christmas

You know there is something wrong when I'm not looking forward to Christmas! I don't like the freezing cold we are having, we are due to go to Elgin for Christmas but who knows if we will even make it up there. Hubby is travelling to America next week and I have my fingers crossed he doesn't get delayed on the way home due to the weather.

I on the other hand have spent weeks indoors avoiding the cold unless I need to go out. Although warm I'm going completely insane! I have just over 10 weeks left till little Wu is due, then however many days late baby decided to be! My husband said it was like Christmas but you just didn't know when it was going to come. I feel it's more like Easter cos I actually never know when it's going to come! I'm getting slightly grumpy and over emotional these days, backache and not being able to get out the bath by myself is starting to take it's toll! I actually enjoy being pregnant, waking up in the morning and feeling little Wu give a stretch is nice, when I feel a bit down I'm reminded I'm not alone.

However I am getting annoyed at the little digs people are having regarding the fact I don't work. I was at uni doing nursing and being pregnant meant no point in looking for a job, who wasn't to hire a pregnant nurse when no one even wants to employ a fit healthy one! Perhaps I'm being over sensitive. Anyway I've a monkey to stick in the microwave to keep me warm :)

And so it begins

I thought I'd take up blogging again, it's not like I don't have enough time on my hands. So why blog? Well being pregnant I think I wanted somewhere to vent my hormonal rages and somewhere to track my pregnancy. I guess I wish I started sooner as I'm 25 weeks pregnant now. Although to be honest up until week 15 it was all sickness so wouldn't have been worth reading!

I'm excited yet nervous to be a mummy, my husband seems awful calm about it all how ever. I think I have mixed feelings, there's this little person inside of me we don't know if baby is a little boy or a little girl, but they are a blank slate. We are writing their future, shaping them to be a better person than what we are and that scares me. Being responsible for someone who will one day go out into the world, get a job and hopefully make a difference. I have high hopes for little Wu.
