Did you ever feel like an Elephant?

I just read today that poor elephants are pregnant for around a year and a half, thats just what I feel like! I still have 3 months to go before number 3 arrives and it feels like a lifetime. We found out that we were expecting when I was only 4 weeks gone, as we have both times before. Just for once it would have been nice to go to the doctors and be told that I was already 4 months gone and didn’t even know, but my body seems to go by the textbook on everything!

Its not a wonder that being pregnant is getting a little bit tiresome, I worked out that by the time this baby is born in August I will have been pregnant for 27 out of the previous 48 months. If I had known that 4 years ago i would have bought a seriously expensive and stylish maternity wardrobe instead of making do with a few pairs of ill fitting jeans and some borrowed items from friends!

To look on the upside though this pregnancy seems to be a little easier than the rest, and considering I have 2 children under 4 to look after thats a real bonus! The sickness has completely passed (except for some queasiness in the early morning) and I actually seemed to achieve a slight hint of the bloomingness (I know thats not a real word) that everyone always talks about but I never ever experienced before. So all in all life is good, but I just can’t wait until August!
