Scary dreamworld of a mumbling mummy!

Another week, vanished! Actually can't believe that in 12 hours time when we hit that midnight bell, I will be 24 weeks!

We stocked up on a few bits this week in the supermarket baby events. Yet still I feel as though we will forget something, despite checking the checklist 20 times a day! How can something so tiny need so much stuff?!

I think these crazy pregnancy dreams aren't helping the situation. You know the ones ladies, something happens in your dream and you wake up in a panic needing to get it sorted asap! Last weekend I dreamt I had the baby but had nowhere to put it, and when I woke up, demanded to the other half that we buy the moses basket this week!

Last nights rang a similar bell to one I had months ago. I was in a hospital, small room, quite cosy and pleasant, just me and my other half. Feeling very dosile, I turned on my side and went to sleep. I woke up later to my legs being held back, my partner holding my hand looking terrified, and a midwife saying "push, push, push!". It wasn't a frightening scene, and the baby was born straight after, and everything was great. Afterwards when all the commotion had died down, I had to ask my other half exactly what happened. And that terrified me! I promptly woke the boyfriend to tell him that when I am in labour he absolutely must not let me have any hardcore pain relief, or too much gas and air! Even in the dreams I feel awful not remembering the birth, could only imagine it in reality!

Anyone else had mad dreams like that?!

On a positive note, little ones kicking away a lot more this week. Its so reassuring feeling him, knowing he is ok. Thoroughly enjoying this middle bit :)

Feel free to share below any of your experiences from this week, we are all in this together!

For now, its over and out.

See you next time!

The scary first hello!

Good evening everyone!

So this is where it all begins - thanks for joining me! Over the last few weeks I have found my brain going into overdrive with moses baskets, breastfeeding, routines... Information coming out of my ears! Of course having read so much and prepared for this before conception, it all went over my head for a little while, with mumbling mummy wondering what the panic was all about. Well, now we know!

I'm hitting the 23 week mark tomorrow, and I have no idea how we got here so quickly! Feels about 6 weeks since we found out little one was on the way, and we discovered this at 5 weeks! And suddenly everything feels a little panicked! How did I lose so much time? How will I get everything prepared in time? How can I possibly make these life changing decisions for my bambino and feel content with it?!

So I started this blog, both as an outlet to my emotion and fretting, and for all of you yummy mummys and yummy mummys to be; maybe my frantic rush to get things in order, and my little mini emotional episodes, will give you a little laughter with your afternoon tea and biscuits! Comments on this blog are really welcomed, and I can't wait to start talking to some of you lovely ladies! Or daddys and daddys to be if you have stumbled upon this!

However you use this blog, I hope you enjoy my story, and feel free to share the love!

Night for now mummys
