Losing Time
Yet again, days pass, and I have no idea how, when or where they went…it’s a bit scary to think that this is my life.
I do know that we spent some time yesterday looking for David Bowie on Youtube. George was most impressed at the wide range of images he’s had (no surprises there). Freddy was most impressed by his eyes - “that must have freaked out his parents when he was born!” - in other words, he considers them very cool. Toby mostly danced - he is very keen on dancing these days - and provided accompaniment with maracas. I’m not sure why we started looking for David Bowie on Youtube; it must have been one of those things that made sense at the time. I know we also also saw heard him when we watched Arthur and the Invisibles, but that was after the Youtubing, so it can’t have been that. We also watched a documentary about a man who has spent the last few years living with a pack of wolves, and that led to much howling at bedtime. I wonder what the dogs thought of that?
I’ve spent most of today in my current favourite place: the corner of the sofa. At least I’ve figured out a class of food that I can manage to eat: spicy. That’s how it was with Barney too - I spent most of the pregnancy subsisting on jalapeno potato wedges that we bought in bulk from Costco. I’m still waiting for that second-trimester energy to arrive though; it’s taking its time, I’m 17 weeks. I suppose I should probably contact the midwife sometime soon, but I’m still thinking about what exactly I’m going to tell her I want. I do know that I want the Community Midwifery Manager to stay completely out of it - I don’t even want her present when my name is mentioned. I suspect that might cause some administrative issues for the midwifery team; if so, that’s too bad.

Oh, the dreaded ‘When to make contact with the midwives’ dilemma!
I remember that so well. I seem to think the 7th month is usually my time to do that!
Hope you’re feeling more energetic soon (((Deb))). Floradix invariably rescues my energy levels, as soon as I can keep it down.
I’d probably leave the midwife-thing a bit longer, but I think I need my B12 checked (hence the tiredness) and I’m hoping they’ll do it rather than me traipsing to GP three times with children (once to get test ordered, once to get blood taken, once to get results).
The ’second trimester’ seemed to get shorter each pregnancy - hate to think when you’re going to feel better during the 6th! But hope it’s soon
Enjoy the food!
Oh Deb it’s so refreshing to hear that *when shall I contact the midwife* thing. I’m being nagged, but I think there’s plenty of time left to get round to it - maybe not as late as last time, when I was well into labour but hey…
Energy not arrived here yet either. Sympathies.
17 weeks - bloody hell, where have i been?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!
Congratulations - and congratulations to you too Tech
WHY!?!?!?!?!!?!? did i put my name as Deb!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Thank you. Hope it wasn’t me subconsciously wishing i was you… though the possibility of 6 boys is slightly terrifying!
