Ground hog day...

I’ve got to say it’s pretty tiring being only 5 weeks PG (that’s what the ladies in the know call it on Mumsnet.com) I’m exhausted all the time and that’s just from lugging my massively heavy and torturously sore breasts around with me. I have been blessed, some would say, with large breasts but they now feel like melons, melons which have had two 40lb weights attached to each nipple.

For example, as I leant over tonight to take my bra off, it felt like my boobs had taken a leap off the Empire State Building...weights attached, as they plunged towards the ground. AGONY, totally agony.

So today sums up, tired, sore and narky.

I’ve heard about this glowing thing, perhaps it’s a myth, so I ask this....

WHEN DOES THE GLOWING START?

Day one, D Day shall we say....so blogging is new to me and so is pregnancy, well not exactly new but its been 14 years since I was last in this position so it feels new. In the short space of 14 years so much has changed in relation to the do’s and don’ts of pregnancy, for example 14 years ago I’m pretty sure I was allowed a glass of wine a week, not anymore. All the fun is gone, shell fish, alcohol, peanuts, fags (not that I have ever smoked, but you get the gist).

Not only have they banned all the fun things, I mean who survives without peanuts? But I’ve been stuck in a pigeon hole, the worst type, the geriatric type. At the ripe old age of 36 I've, suddenly been catapulted to geriatric stage of life. I don’t even class my granny as geriatric, although I am now, shes 84 though so to be fair I think she fits the bill better than me.

Anyway, at the young age of 36 I managed to bag the man of my dreams and get him down the aisle. It came as a shock that on the way home from honeymoon we found out I was expecting just three short weeks from saying, I Do.

Roll on one week, the side effects of early pregnancy have severely kicked in, after dieting for 9 months to fit in to a beautiful wedding dress, I've eaten more in the last week than I did in the last year, my massive boobs are getting bigger and are agony, it took me 10 minutes to slowly take my bra off last night as the weight of them can be compared to 20 kg having been attached to each one and then being dropped from a height. Ouch.

So the wrap up of week 5 of pregnancy, already fat, sore and my house is a pig sty as I’ve no energy to tidy up. I wonder what exciting things week 6 will have for me, or should I say us. Follow me at geriatricmum17
