Oh God, how can this be? I'm terrified! Third trimester = being very big + swollen ankles + increasing backache and discomfort + birth!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! I want to run away and hide!!!
It's all go in baby world at the moment. The lovely Aileen Birch is ready to pop at any time and is due Tuesday. Hector rather stubbornly refused to arrive on the third as I predicted! Not even a picture of Alex blacked up as BA Baracas could scare him into an appearance! I also got to meet the Kearn bump this weekend. Laura's looking rather fabulous at 23 weeks, and has an absolutely gorgeous bump. It was lovely to have a good whinge and compare symptoms. It's great to know that getting acne on your chest or belly fur isn't so uncommon after all!
However, comparisons do have their downside. I must admit I was sickeningly jealous of Laura's descriptions of how she can watch her little one jiggle about in her belly. She can even see him turn over! I'm sooooooo jealous, but very chuffed for her of course! Dylan just doesn't do that, nor is he still really making himself felt at all to the outside world. I can't believe at nearly 27 weeks that Alex can't feel his son kicking. It's really sad and it's starting to get me down. I think I'm going to have a chat with the midwife about it on Thursday. Maybe my placenta is at the front cushioning him? Maybe, despite the tap dancing, he's not as active a baby as he should be? Either way, he really should be feelable from the outside by now... surely!?
Lets face it, I'm a whale. Surely he should be making his presence known by now in a belly my size! Hmpf....
