Internet, I have cabin fever

I can’t remember when I left the house last. First it was the pregnancy making it too hard to walk and then we caught the ‘flu and now my mental health is suffering badly.

But it’s okay! Because tomorrow I have an ultrasound to check on the growth of the baby, which means that I will be out of the house for a few hours at least, talking to real other adults in the real world. It shouldn’t excite me quite this much.

Speaking of this pregnancy, the baby is violent. I think she’s on a mission to take out my ribs and cervix, with my internal organs as collateral damage. I remember that the other two kicked hard and that occasionally it hurt, but I don’t remember them having the sheer strength of movement that this child does. I keep expecting her to burst free all alien style, leaving me broken and bleeding.

Needless to say, at 33 weeks pregnant, I am very much looking forward to being done. My internal muscles are bruised and my blood pressure keeps dropping out. It’s all a bit miserable. Worth it in the end, but utterly miserable right now.

Because I have cabin fever, this space is suffering a bit. I mean, I could tell you all about how Amy woke me up by throwing up on Isaac’s bed, or how Isaac isn’t sleeping much past 4am lately, but it’s just easier to read a book for a bit instead.

That said, Amy is declaring that she is goingto DIE if I don’t feed her breakfast IMMEDIATELY, which tells me that despite her ‘flu, her drama gene is still working nicely. I’m not feeding her cereal until she stops throwing up, so I guess I’ll have to take my chances with her drama.

In conclusion: My children are conspiring against me and my body is falling apart. Also, eventually I’ll remember how to blog regularly again.

Aww you’re doing great hon, cooking this babe well! Miss chatting to you, maybe we’ll be able to Skype at some point when your kidlets are in bed, if you’re feeling up to it. xxx

Hope everyone stops throwing up and that the rest of your pregnancy goes quickly! 🙂

Argh cabin fever sucks. Hope flu/vomit big departs asap.

I just love you. You make me smile! Do you know how blessed your children are? I can just imagine the breakfast “drama.” Some little girl knows Mummy is better and she is making up for lost time. 🙂

I say give her the breakfast and an empty bucket as well, to catch the vomit. Much easier to wash out than Isaac’s bed.
I do hope that you all get over this flu as quick as a finger snap or three and the ultrasound shows baby is growing as expected.
The next six weeks can’t go quickly enough for you can they?

Yesss, my plan for total mother domination is coming along as planned. Also on another note,could the depressing people that like to hide within the mummy blogosphere (no one here), just simply fuck off with their mighty opinion. Thank you.
