18 weeks

Slowly, surely... a more baby-bump shaped bump! I was sooo exhausted at this point, I'd never know tiredness like early pregnancy... I'd sit down in the kitchen, on the floor (not for much longer) and I'd fall asleep. I'd lay down at 5pm, and wake up the next morning (apart from the 12 times a night I'd wake to go to the toilet). I was living on wine gums and cheese as everything else made me feel sick. I was signed off work from the coffee shop I was working at, my boss took my pregnancy very badly! It was helpful really as the smell of coffee made me sick!

I'd bought a few bits by now, just a couple of little toys and an outfit, I couldn't resist! Even my sister (normally incredibly practical and matter of fact) hadn't resisted and had sent a toy after the first scan!
