Total weight gain: So a month ago my weight gain sat at 14lbs, this has now increased to 18lbs. I honestly expected to have put so much more weight on by this stage so I am quite pleased the gain has been steady and balanced.

Maternity clothes? I have given up on maternity clothes. Seriously. Hate them. I obviously still need to wear maternity trousers and leggings but when it comes to tops, I am now trying to stick with bigger sizes as most maternity items make me look frumpy or just aren't that comfortable. Maternity jeans are still my nemesis with the 3 pairs I own being an absolute nightmare to wear. They are Topshop and ASOS brands, 2 have low waistbands and one with a high waistband. All 3 pairs fall down constantly and just leave me looking rather undignified as i try and sort myself every 5 minutes!
Stretch marks? One! My first stretch mark appeared about 3 weeks ago. It's very low down so I think it may have gone unnoticed for a while but I am oiling and creaming it up whenever I can in the hope it fades. Regardless of whether it does or not, I secretly take pride in my stretch mark, it is a reminder of this wonderful time, growing my baby.
Sleep: My sleep has been fine with the occasional middle of the night loo trip. Getting back to sleep after this can take a while but for the most part it's fine. I do get some very strange dreams however, and I have started snoring and making the strangest noises in my sleep, sometimes even waking myself up and my husband!
Best moment this week: My best moment was last week when I went for my hospital scan and they confirmed the baby's weight and size was absolutely fine so previous worries of the baby being too small have disappeared. Another great moment was finishing up work for maternity leave on Friday! :)
Worst Moment This Week: My worst moment coincides with a great moment. Finishing up work. It all felt very surreal and on one hand i felt delighted to leave but most of the weekend since, I have felt really down in the dumps. Maybe it's reality all hitting at once but other mums have told me this is pretty normal. I am definitely feeling much better now so hopefully my miserable mood will not reappear.
Food cravings: Chocolate still seems to be top of my list at the moment despite the fact I don't feel like I enjoy it as I eat it!
Miss anything? In the last few weeks, I have started to really miss alcohol. I think this weekend's better weather really pushed me over the edge. Where I would normally enjoy a glass of wine on a sunny evening, I am now sitting nursing an orange juice or glass of water and it just doesn't feel the same!
Movement: I am still getting lots of movement from baby ... my favourite is when I can see my whole tummy move. I like to give him/her a wee pat and have a chat when this happens :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: I have randomly started feeling very queasy at bed time. When I am about to fall asleep i think i am about to be sick but it soon wears off and i fall asleep.
Belly button in or out? In.
Happy or moody most of the time? Still pretty happy and relaxed with a touch of the blues over the weekend.
Looking forward to: We have pretty much finished our nursery and have moved on to decorating our spare bedroom which we will be moving into. The work is in progress at the moment so I am looking forward to it being finished so I can feel properly organised!
