Bebe blues: only the Partner Look if she also has a face like a smacked arse

I have been in a very funny mood for the last few days, really exhausted and feeling down. I suppose this is the reality of pregnancy. It is hard. It comes in waves and sometimes you feel great and others you feel like you want to cry and could sleep forever and as if everything is totally shit. Anyway, I wasn't going to write anything but I thought that it was better to be honest; this is a part of pregnancy, the stress and fatigue and hormones and everything, so here it is.

I am trying to totally cut out caffeine, it is difficult. I am worried I am going to get mad headaches if I go cold turkey. None of my trousers fit so I sit around with them undone, something I enjoyed doing before but at least now I have a legitimate excuse to do so. I am still fine with my dresses for now but must go maternity jeans shopping. I have to go to the laboratory to get my blood tests done ready for my appointment with my gynecologist next week so am going first thing in the morning as it is fasting test. Hope all is well. I think tiredness is as a result of sleeping badly rather than anything more sinister.

I did get offered some proper Italian teaching here today so that is something positive, starts next week. It was also really sunny here today, absolutely beautiful, so I mustn't complain as I look at photos of the UK covered in snow. Had positive counselling session which made a change to her sitting there, saying nothing and yawning. I MUST REMEMBER TO COUNT BLESSINGS AND NOT BE A SAD SACK. I have a healthy baby who is ridiculously active and I am so looking forward to meeting her. I will try and get some more Partner Look inspiration over the next few days. Here is a little picture to get us started again for tomorrow:

    Darling From, I had inequality day when I was about 16 weeks pregnant where I actually ran away from home and sat in a coffee place and cried because I thought I was making the biggest mistake of my life. I ignored husbo's calls and messages pleading me to come home and wouldn't tell him where I was. Then I went home and hid in bed for 6 hours, refusing to speak. I felt so lost...

    ...and scared and alone. And then Husbo took me to the seaside for a burger and a peanut butter milkshake, which I inhaled. My eyes were as swollen as my belly and I was exhausted. I went to bed that night and woke up the next day and felt a bit better, and then each day after that I felt better again.

    You're going to have these days, you'd be weird if you didn't. But you will be fine. Bebe will be fine. Because look at me and Finn, we're fucking awesome. Most days, anyway. X

    Thanks so much. I really appreciate the message. I couldn't think of anything funny to write so I wasn't going to bother but if the blog is about pregnancy experiences then this surely goes included. I am trying to do exactly what yhou said, take the rough with the smooth. I have been quite positive since 12 week scan but just had a rough few weeks. Tomorrow will be a GOOD day. Finn and my baby can get married eventually, although Gabriel may rock the boat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Practical post, one cup of coffee is fine. Then drink de-caff after that, there's enough caffeine in it to stave off the headaches. Best mate just did this and her and bebe are excellent. xx

    Aw, thanks. Have been on one coffee a day but baby kicking is driving me a bit nuts at night, thought cutting out might calm her down a bit. I think it is issue of size (small enough to have space to move but big enough to kick the shit out of me)

    Bless you for being honest From. As you said there are fab days but sharing the bad days that we all get is good x
