but I couldn't kick the grin from when you'd gone and kissed me quickly in the kitchen
I'm 28 weeks along now - I assume we all knew that when I said "I'll keep this updated" three months ago it was pretty much bullshit.
If I thought pregnancy was weird at 13 weeks, it's nothing compared to pregnancy now. I have a pronounced bump - I have trouble seeing it, but people offer me a seat on the bus now - and the noob kicks away at all kinds of hours, which is very reassuring. Of all the benefits of pregnancy (foot rubs on demand, people bring you tea, you get to sit down all the time etc) I think I'll miss the kicking the most.
Bump is a girl bump! I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm pleased nonetheless; Hamish REALLY wanted us to have a girl and now wants us to call her Alice (we're not) and Kieran can wave to the bump and say "Hello baby! Baby sister!" which is unspeakably adorable. Names are still being debated.
I feel.. good. Really well, actually - coping excellently mentally sans medication and physically okay, although I have a mildish case of SPD. I'm getting to the point where I can't bend too much, I bump in to things a lot and I really don't remember what my feet look like, but I don't mind. Without being too ridiculous about it, I'm content and life is glorious.
