Chip off the old block and a bit of a moan
I've recently realised that I get kicked just before mealtimes. How funny is that! So now my baby tells me when it thinks I should be hungry. I'm being kicked at about 8am, 10.30/11am, 1pm, 3.30pm and 6.30pm! If I don't eat (for whatever reason), the kicks increase in intensity until I give in and get something.
I'm soo tired this week. I don't know if sprout is having a growth spurt or what but what I really want is a day off so I can relax and sleep. I had a rotten day yesterday, my manager (who is sometimes a bit of a d*ck, swore at me in front of our telemarketing company on a conference call when I hadn't done anything wrong (just done what our CEO had told me to do).
Also, my brother (the one we think probably has Asperger's syndrome, is depressed and we generally worry about his mental health) and said that I wasn't to be upset if he didn't answer the phone when I ring him as he wanted to spend more time on his own. Bearing in mind that IF he answers the phone I talk to him for approx 5 mins at a time once a week (maybe twice), I was rather annoyed by this.
I later found out that he's had visits from mental health workers (either community social work team or MIND, the mental health charity) and we don't know, but it sounds as if he's finally going to get help. So I may have over-reacted.
The day got a bit better as my mum has bought a load of baby clothes from Marks & Spencers and it had turned up yesterday afternoon. I got to put away tiny newborn babygrows and teeny little socks - aw so cute!!
I hope this hormonal/tired period lifts as I hate feeling like this and having to carry on as normal. :-(
I also read an article yesterday about how what you eat whilst your pregnant may make your child more inclined to be fat. This rather depressed me. I'm still craving sweet stuff. To be fair, I'm eating dried fruit too, but I fairly frequently eat biscuits or chocolate. The research was done by a vet on rats, so I'm hoping its only applicable to them, hope I'm not storing up trouble later. On the other hand, I still haven't really put on much weight (if any), so I can't be particularly over-eating. I don't know.

My only query with tiredness is are you getting enough iron? At the GP practice I work at a full third of mums-to-be are anaemic and need treatment. That's a lot, and symptoms are tiredness. How was your last blood results?
Of course as 'junior' gets bigger you will get more tired anyway. Are you easing off on work-load and doing less housework?
But you eat good food, good chocolate, good biscuits- not the crappy stuff. I think how you bring children up has a greater bearing on whether children are fat or not. If both parents are normal eaters, and emphasise the importance of being active, and the food they eat is good quality, that has far greater bearing on the child.
My aunt eats badly, and always has, and her younger daughter is slim and lovely. So don't worry.
