Baby Brain?

Today mum made a complete fool of herself.

How? (Or should that be - What now?)

Today she couldn't quite remember names.

This is nothing unusual, however....

She told Person 1 that Girl A was pregnant when it was Girl B. Person 1 then went up to Girl A and asked when it was due.

Now, I must say that in her defence:
- Girl A looks like Girl B,
- Girl A and Girl B are extremely similar (in looks and height, etc),
- Girl A and Girl B sit next to each other,  and
- Girl A and Girl B do a similar job.

This however, caused hysterics around the office once word got out.
.
Mum was told that loosing your mind was not (according to recent newspaper articles) down to pregnancy so she is now very concerned.

Peanut strikes again!!

What To Wear?

Now every woman is famously quoted as saying 'I have nothing to wear!' at least once in their lives. Mum appears to be no exception.

In this case, its down to me. That's right; I've made enough of an impact on her waist line that she cannot fit into any of her clothes. Even her t-shirts don't fit! And, its only week 15.

Mum has begun, grudgingly, to pack away all her current clothes and resigned herself to the fact that she will need to go shopping for those stretchy pants.
.

Now for a lot of women this would be the ultimate excuse to get the plastic and go mad. Mum is not most women. Its not that she doesn't want to shop but its the choice of clothing.

'Maternity Wear' conges up horrible images of the horrid plaid tents of the 70's.

So far the shopping experience for mum has been a mixed bag. There have been some nice tops but the majority of dresses and slacks/jeans have been really disgusting and BIG (in the weirdest of places).

Oh well, I'm sure she'll find something soon or things could get chilly.

THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG

That's right folks the world now knows that the Peanut exists. 

Mum was overwhelmed by the clucking and cooing once she announced that I was here.  That was of course after everyone got over the shock.

Apparently, mum forgot to bring my first photo (the 12 week scan). Everyone was disappointed but were appeased when she agreed to bring this in on Monday.

I am famous!   :) 

Who Ate All The Pies?

I'm growing and I need more room so I've taken to expanding mum's stomach.

At this point no one at work knows I exist so mum's expanding waistline has been politely ignored.  The English have pointedly not mentioned fat, food, etc.  However, it is becoming noticeable that they are avoiding the topic. 

Now people come in all shapes and sizes so many are frightened to say 'Are you pregnant?' just in case the person is fat.  However, those that know mum have also avoided any topic related to fat, diet, food, etc.

I know what they are thinking - Who ate all the pies at Christmas lunch?  Or should we say all the chocolates, cakes, puddings, etc.

But we are in on the secret.  ;-)
