Maternity Series – Week 24
16
I’ve been really tired this past week, though I think that is mainly down to my terrible sleep habits… I really really need to start getting to bed a little a lot earlier. I think I’m going to have to ban myself from reading or confiscate my tablet at this rate, I start off with good intentions and get into bed at a fairly sensible hour, and then proceed to read until the early hours.
I love how the girls will come up and kiss my belly from time to time, those little “hello baby” and “goodnight baby’s” are so sweet! I’ve definelty been feeling all the emotions this week…. any little thing can make me cry, good or bad! I’ve had to start censoring what I let myself read else I’ll be sobbing all day long.
No real cravings this week, I still have quite a sweet tooth, but don’t give in to it very often. I have found myself stood in the cake aisle at the supermarket on more than one occasion, drooling over all the goodness, but forcing myself to not buy every single thing!
Did you have a sweet tooth when you were pregnant?

September 1, 2014 at 12:18You are looking good and well! I always have a sweet tooth, and pregnancy gave me the excuse to indulge it – something I regret now when I am still a stone heavier 3 years later…
You Baby Me Mummy
September 1, 2014 at 14:12Ah 16 weeks does seem like a long time, but I am sure it will whiz by. I didn’t have a sweet tooth, just a few things I couldn’t eat or drink. Tea shockingly for me and chinese food. x

September 1, 2014 at 14:48Aww that is sweet when they kiss the belly, hopefully they will still feel that way when little mister arrives ha x

September 1, 2014 at 18:48I had a massively sweet tooth during my second pregnancy. I put on soooo much weight! You look lovely in this pic – funny to think about that corn-sized baby twisting around at night though!

Kate Williams
September 1, 2014 at 19:53Oh you look lovely! No sweet tooth with my first but it was horrific with my second! Craved sugar all the time!
Louisa
September 1, 2014 at 19:56You look fab. I remember fondly the feeling of baby kicking around and moving :-)

September 1, 2014 at 20:07You have such a cute bump! It is so sweet how your children will come and kiss and say goodbye to baby. My boys were never really interested in my bump but I think maybe that was because they were quite young.

September 1, 2014 at 20:13You’re really glowing, you look lovely! I know what you mean about the hormones, I was a mess from day one!

September 1, 2014 at 21:17watch for anaemia at this stage- could explain the tiredness. I had a really sweet tooth and paid the price with gestational diabetes! Although it disappeared after each of the children.

September 1, 2014 at 21:59My son moved about so much and turned early so he was always bouncing on my bladder!
Becky Brown
September 1, 2014 at 22:24Yes! I used to eat a packet of rolos everyday when I was pregnant!

September 2, 2014 at 15:55Wow, I wish I looked as good as you when I was pregnant. What a gorgeous picture. I remember that sweet tooth, but think I indulged in it occasionally.

September 2, 2014 at 16:21Oh I do miss those kicks – it’s magical although I do also remember how it could be downright uncomfortable. That bump is really coming along nicely!

September 2, 2014 at 18:17You are looking lovely! And such a neat bump too. I would get that cake :)

September 3, 2014 at 13:13Aw the bump is growing. Those night time loo visits were one of my worst parts of pregnancy – desperate for sleep but always needing to wee!!

September 3, 2014 at 17:06You look fantastic!

September 6, 2014 at 10:06Such a cute bump! I’m almost 31 weeks now and sometimes I think my stomach is going to explode as baby seems to be jumping right out!! So strange isn’t it? x x

September 6, 2014 at 21:40It is so wonderful when you start feeling the baby moving around. Such a magical moment!

September 7, 2014 at 22:13Lovely baby bump! I’ve not had much sugar cravings throughout my pregnancy. I’ve mainly been craving salty things, like proper Swedish salty liquorice. Sugar and anything sweet like chocolate gives me the worst heartburn so as much as I can I try to avoid that. Hopefully that’ll stop once the baby is born, I do like my chocolate and sweets.
Molly
September 7, 2014 at 22:23You look absolutely stunning! I can totally relate with the emotions – I’ve been the same throughout this pregnancy. My daughter starts school tomorrow and I’m already steeling myself not to cry. Hope the sleep gets better for you – I find listening to meditation clips on YouTube helps if I feel awake at night. Thank you for linking up to #BlogBumpClub! x

September 8, 2014 at 00:09First of all you look amazing and secondly how fast is this pregnancy going? can’t believe you only have 16 weeks to go – how exciting

September 10, 2014 at 10:19You look gorgeous. The girls are so sweet talking to baby. :-) I loved sweet, stodgy food when pregnant- custard slices etc. I did indulge then used to feel really over tired after. Yuck. I’m really trying to up my iron at the moment as sick of feeling so tired (not even pregnant! ;-) ). I probably need to change my sleeping habits too… x
