socks and invitations
reasons i love my daughter already #1: she's made me appreciate socks. seriously, i havent thought about socks in the longest time. all of mine are black ankle socks so that i dont have to put any time into thinking about them. but today i spent £2.50 on the cutest tiny socks in the entire world. i definately give a damn about those.

on a less positive note, i recently went for a blood test on my thyroid because i suspected that my meds needed upping. this is because i've spent the past 2 weeks being absolutely shatterred and falling asleep at random intervals is usually a good indication that another blood test is due. however, my results came back and they actually want to decrease the dose. this is clearly because they're morons so i'm going to request another test when i go to see the midwife in a week or so.
now she might tell me that its just pregnancy related tiredness but i suspect not. i've been enjoying the remnants of my second trimester energy and i've been given to believe that i'm not meant to feel the strain for another month or two. especially when i've found this pregnancy to be such easy going. plus, after almost 7 years of being diagnosed with an underactive thyroid i think i'm aware of how it effects my own body.

i have also had to rsvp no on an upcoming wedding which is a bit of a downer. it's tamsyns wedding and since she was my best freind through high school it would have been nice, despite not really being in touch with her recently. however, it's in this really remote place in scotland and costs a fortune to get to. and because i was a late invite, the people i might have been able to get a lift from have already got full cars.
coupled with anxiety about having to travel to scottish places in the middle of nowhere 7 months pregnant, alone and on my birthday and i dont think i would manage very well.
i am going to the hen party though which will be nice. my mother thinks that i should use this opportunity to upstage her (as in; you might be getting married but look how pregnant i am!) as punishment for not inviting me sooner when i might have actually been able to make plans to go. it's an amusing suggestion but i think i'll stick with being happy for her albiet in a slightly detatched way.

technically its spring but you wouldnt believe it to look out the window. it's been stormy, hailing and rainy for the past week. which actually i love. i miss the sunshine and i cant wait for it to start up again but theres something really quite soothing about rain isnt there?
