29 weeks and the 5th day comes to a close ... I have new hair ... I am the baby's mummy!

Here I am, almost 30 weeks pregnant - I will hit 30 weeks this weekend. I've lost some weight - some fat at any rate. I have the amazing shrinking boobs ... bizarre. My weight is basically stable. The ultrasound on Tuesday revealed that the baby is almost one and a half kilogrammes in weight. Well done him!!! And I have managed not to put on a kilogramme in the last month ... I have managed to stay reasonably stable, oscillating around 80.5 - 80.7 kg, which is what they want. 

First time they weighed me in early pregnancy I was 70 kg, and they wanted me to put on no more than 15-20 at the most ... then when the GD thing happened, all of a sudden it was, Oh, you need to not put on more than 12 kg if you can help it! (WTF???!!!) 

So at 80 kg about 6 weeks ago ... I was told I only had 2 kg to play around with ... I know who's going to provide the sanctioned 2 kg ... not me!!! Young Midgley would make me very happy if he ends up a healthy 3.7-4.2 kg baby. 

The diebetic team in the antenatal clinic want me to lose weight while the baby gains weight ... Nice!!! 

Way to pile it on the poor pregnant lady. Hmmpph. 

Anyway, the absence of junk in my diet now is having the desired effect. Good thing I love beans and can follow a food plan!!! I'm definitely less tubby, and the baby is just the right size according to the scan, so it is very gratifying - I can see it working in every way. 

Darned hard work though! 

I had my haircut today, as you can see, so now do I look like someone's Mummy? 

My little one moves about a lot all day now. Getting a bit more intrusive - I can't just let him move and carry on with what I'm doing sometimes now, he is that distracting! 

Here I am wondering if he will look like me. Haven't really thought about that very much ... assumed he will look like Iain. Of course, he may well have my hair .... maybe we can match ... Lol!!! 

I decided at the salon today that Baby Midgley is DEFINITELY not going to Cuts by Carlo like his Dad and Grandfather ... don't think I could stand to have his hair butchered thus. He'll go to Anderson's with me ... Costs about the same for a kid as far as I can see.
