Going through a growth spurt!




WOW! Time is flying, and going slow at the same time, does that make any sense?
Well as you can see, My belly has done a little bit of growing lately... and most of it in the last couple of weeks! And I have been keeping myself busy, and taken up knitting! Considering I'm mostly housebound these days, that means everyone I talk to has to hear about my knitting dramas, cos I don't have much else to talk about! Tis all rather funny actually... :) So I thought I'd share with you girls too, these are my first ever pair of booties, and then I branched to a slight pattern with the mittens, and I'm now almost a 5th of the way through a baby blanket! And I'm now in the 3rd trimester, YAY! The nursery is mostly organised, just have a few bits and pieces to get together. Sora is growing bigger and bigger, and is a great source of amusement for all! She is lovely company, comes and has naps with me... bit is also still in the annoying kitten stage of biting and scratching everything, so trying to tame her a little before beanie arrives!
As this is really my weight watchers blog, I should also report that I am putting on weight (finally!), but not too much, so I'm happy with that! I am now 71kgs, which is a good amount for this stage, so I'm proud of myself, being good for me and baby! I am so looking forward to being able to do exercise again though. I have to admit to being a little down lately, I do find it hard being so restricted. To make things worse I find myself getting irritated at the state of the house, cos I can't even bend and pick things up from the floor, I can't reach the bowls in the cupboard, or empty the bottom of the dishwasher, and so I have to rely on others to help. And in general, everyone else is BLIND to mess... so I just have to suffer a messy and dirty house until I snap and go drill Sargent on everyone... *sigh*
That's enough whinging! I just wanted to let everyone know I'm still here, even though I'm a bit of a recluse! I don't find sitting at the computer very comfortable, so I don't spend mush time on here, but I do intend on getting round and visiting and catching up with every one's blogs, so look out for my comments over the next few weeks!
Love, Rae :)

Rae, you really do look amazing...I would say pregnancy suits you by the looks of it, but then there's the annoying inconveniences you've mentioned.

Keep healthy and keep us all informed. Looking forward to seeing Beanie in the flesh (well, photos anyway!)

Hey Rae
Just wondering when the baby is actually due.... can't tell from your ticker cause I'm never really sure when it was last updated. Am thinking of you often and wishing you all the best.
