The profile diaries: entry number 2


Mmm, another toilet shot, sorry about that. I suppose, if you think about it logically, it's actually pretty apt, what with the amount of time I spend emptying my bladder these days. Sorry, TMI, I know, but hey, I'm about to go through one of the most undignified experiences of my life, so a little bit of toilet talk is nothing these days.
So as you can see, or maybe you can't (sorry about the quality), my bump has definitely grown in the last 7 days. Rather than outwards, I feel like my side have increased, as if my uterus is spreading its wings and I now have bulges where I used to wear a belt. I can even feel the Bear kicking about in its new lateral conversion; it's a bit odd, to be honest. I love the bear's kicks, but kicking in your sides, well, it's never going to feel normal, is it?
As you can see, either foolishly, or brilliantly, I am still in some of my pre-pregnancy gear. I'm not sure if this reflects well on my previous wardrobe choices, but at least I haven't wasted money on empire-line smocks. Seeing as I've saved so much, DH and I have just invested in a Flip video camera. It's to document the little one, from day one (and before actually, DH wants the bump in all its glory wandering around the flat). I'm excited, I've never had a video camera before and this one looks totally foolproof, so I should be able to create some footage of my own once it arrives from Amazon HQ.
There is a lot of purchasing at this stage of pregnancy. I think it's to detract the mind - and body - from the fact that you're carrying around a 4.5lb child 24/7. Heck, it's helping me...
