Bun in the oven??

We have an announcement.

A ra-ther exciting one!

Yes, we are expecting another sprog. Abbott baby number 2.

That means Lizzie gets promoted.

Just wondering if there is a baby in Lizzie's tummy too!

I actually found out when I was just a day late. I kept needing a wee every few minutes and thought what the heck as I picked up a poundland pregnancy test (2 for £1!!!). A very faint line appeared next to the test line and I turned all the lights on in the house, examining in from different angles. But it was definately positive. Yup.

Since I have been pregnant however, lots of enemies have come my way. I have been feeling pretty rough, more so than I did with Lizzie.

Enemies of the pregnant woman'

1) Sickness. Nuff said. I have had my head down the toilet a lot these last few weeks.
2) Constipation and bloating. To say I feel like a pot bellied pig most of the time is an understatement.
3) Ryan's shower gel. I CANNOT bear the smell after he has showered. I don't like it much before his showers either. So its a no-win situation. BO or linx? Eugh. These are my choices.
4) Vegetable soup. I hurl just writing this. I ordered it for asda a week ago cus I fancied it. I could barely unpack it without gagging.
5) Ginger biscuits. They now remind me of puking my guts out at 4am.
6) Sleep. What is that again? I am an insomniac anyway but I can now sometimes lie awake ALL NIGHT. I think babies are sinister, even in their tadpole-like state. They like to prepare you for what's coming.
7) All the stuff you can't do. I mean EVERYTHING. Jacuzzi's, rollercosters, lifting things, changing litter trays, pain medication (in fact most meds full stop), eating soft cheese, seafood...
8) One born every minute. You fancy watching a horror movie? Watch this instead whilst with child. You will not sleep at night.


Friends of the pregnant woman

1) Pickles. Pickles, pickles. Yum. I could eat you on a plane. On a train. In bed.

Now here is the scary thing. I tried giving Lizzie a pickle. As that is the sadist mummy that I am. However I was disappointed to find out she actually loved them! And went for more! Gutted. She is definately my daughter.

2) The ability to eat guilt-free. I am struggling with this at the moment with the sickness, but it gets awesome in the next trimester.
3) All the CUTE  baby clothes. I find myself just googling pictures of babies and their deliciousness.
4) Scans. The most magical moments ever. I still cannot believe I can make something like this!
5) The 'I'm pregnant' excuse. You know what I mean ladies! (wink wink)

And the best thing is I can cross off another goal off my 20 before 30 list. Weeeee!
