welcome to the world

On sept 16th 2011 our gorgeous girl Izzy was born. So thrilled with her, will blog more soon but it's now 5am and I havent really slept yet! X

People are nicer when you are pregnant, I don't mean friends and family (although they are great too) but random strangers.. Old ladies in the street, bus drivers and shop assistants. People fall over themselves to help you and check you are ok and it makes me feel really good! I think pregnancy makes most people smile .. I suppose seeing a woman waddling along the street is fairly amusing and I don't know whether it's the thought of a new life growing or seeing me in this funny state but everyone seems very happy for me. A friend text me after leaving my house last week and said my pregnant glow had made her really cheerful and broody! Anyway although I'm very uncomfortable, hot and sore I'm also kinda enjoying this stage of pregnancy and looking forward to meeting our little girl :-) Yesterday I had a crazy nesting/cooking day and my freezer is now filling up with meals to easily reheat post labour.. However I realised I had slightly overdone it when I looked down and saw I had elephants feet- woah they aren't kidding about the swelling are they? Today I have mostly been taking it easy and I feel much better for it.. Although I did take a slight tumble and banged my nose earlier - a good look for the wedding I have to attend tomorrow! Anyway hope you are all well, I'll be back soon xx
