Thank you :-)

First of all, a big "thank you " for all of your kind messages on my last post about the pregnancy ~ seeing as I am ridiculously hormonal I teared up a wee bit.....

I'm now well into the second trimester (15 weeks & 5 days, as I write this) and I'm starting to feel a bit more like a human being again.

Plus I've got a 'proper' bump now, so I look proper preggers, rather than looking I've been surgically attached to the biscuit tin.

And I may have felt the baby move a few times over the last few days, but I can't be entirely sure. Very exciting all the same ~ I cried the first time I felt something babylike( seriously, what is with the pregnancy hormones and the crying? So far this week I have cried at 'Neighbours', tv adverts for baby stuff (that one with the dad saying 'I promise never to...'), 'Sex and the City: The Movie' (even though I HATED it!) and a comment I received yesterday about what a weird shape I am....

A363 is chugging along nicely (although my sleepyheadedness means that that I'm a bit further behind than I'd like). My first assignment came back with a much better mark than I was expecting, but the writing is still taking a bit of a back seat to eating and sleeping, which currently encompass the bulk of my evenings.

Still, I managed to get TWO submissions sent out in the last two weeks, so feeling pretty smug about that (smug until the rejection slips arrive, natch....)

And we start our house renovations in earnest tomorrow. Dust, mess, dust and more mess ~ hurrah!

If you think you've felt baby move you probably have! At first it's such a tiny feeling, a faint, falling sensation - heck, you'll get me all teary too! Well done on all the work you've been doing too.

I agree with Chris - if you thought you felt it move you probably did.

Re: the crying. Welcome to my world!

And house renovations whilst pregnant. You're as bad as us!

Oi! Get blogging! It's not like you don't have anything else to do is it? ;o)

Oh yes, I cry a lot when pregnant. And I love having a bump. When I get broody it's almost entirely focused on Having A Bump, which may be slightly worrying, seeing as the bump stage is relatively shortlived compared to the whole Having A Child stuff that comes after... but luckily I quite like that too.
