Something to cheer you up
I never did decide what that something at the end was. I guessed at chocolate. And a lift-the-flap book for Tori because it made her giggle and that cheered me up.
Why do I need cheering up? Honestly? I really don’t know. Tomorrow is D-Day for BabyBump, I should be all excited and happy but I’m just not. Yesterday and today I have been a big fat lump of useless miserableness. The rest of the week I’ve been happily pottering round playing with the Tweenster and cleaning the house or baking and what-not. Yesterday I crashed, face-first. I wanted to do ‘stuff’ – tidy Tori’s room, hoover, watch TV, play with Tori, write a blog post, read a book. Anything. I just didn’t have the patience. I tried to do most of the above and just got annoyed with all of them and gave up.
Today has been similar.
I must say though that the sun coming out has helped a little. The weather is fighting my mood for me a bit and the walk to Co-op was nice even if it did leave me feeling utterly wiped out when I got back (which is pathetic, it’s a 4 minute walk…). Now my legs feel like jelly over an hour later – just another ache to add to the list.
I can’t sleep. I can’t concentrate on anything. I can’t finish anything.
I. Just. Can’t. Do. Anything. With. Myself.
I have the Bumpy-Blues and I’m fed up of them now. I want the old me back – the one that knows how to smile for longer than 30 seconds at a time and doesn’t cry all the time. Anyone seen her anywhere?
Please hurry up BabyBump – it’s nice out here and Mummy needs a cuddle really badly….

Oh sorry sweetie. Big hug.
Where are you? sun?
It’s really cloudy and overcast in London.

It was like that this morning but the sun has just broken out over North Shropshire – to the point where I can barely read my laptop screen!!

Fingers crossed bump makes an appearance soon. I know what you’re going through – Frog was 12 days late and I thought she was never going to come. Spent 3 weeks doing nothing but walk up and down the stairs and bounce on a birthing ball. Broke down in tears on Day Ten when she still hadn’t come. Bump blues are the worst. *Hugs*
P.S. If anyone tells you to “go and eat a hot curry” you have my permission to punch them in the face.

Hehehe – punching someone would probably make me feel better too 😛
I think I will go completely loopy if BabyBump is 12 days late…

Oh honey, I feel for you! I remember those days, I felt like a zeppelin and everything hurt. Fingers crossed baby comes to see you very soon!

Those last few days just seem to go on forever. Hope all goes really well – just think, you will be holding a darling little babe in your arms very soon and you will forget all about this phase.
