Wednesday, August 29, 2007 At 24 weeks, Kelly is blooming!


I am feeling great at the moment and definitely in the blooming stage. Not as tired as my first trimester, I have so much energy to do things especially lots of walking. Now that I no longer feel nauseous I can eat anything and am definitely stocking up on the fruit and veg and have not yet experienced any cravings. I am really missing not eating the foods that we have to avoid: prawns, blue cheese and goat cheese. These are the only cravings I have experienced but nothing wacky yet, but guess only time will tell.

My skin is glowing and not a sign of a spot, I love this trimester. My partner, Tim also loves it as I have not really had any mood swings, unlike in the first trimester when my hormones were going crazy. It’s amazing how each pregnancy is so different for each woman. My sister did not experience any nausea but then she did not have a particular blooming stage either as she was pretty well throughout.

We moved house not long after we found out we were expecting so my partner has been busy decorating our bedroom before starting on the spare bedroom and nursery. The pressure is on! We had a week off work and this was a great time to sort things out at home and start some baby shopping. Ordered the nursery furniture and bought the bedding and a few bits and we are starting to get really excited about meeting our new arrival! I am sure that it will soon come around as the last 24 weeks have flown by.

My bump is starting to get bigger, looking pregnant and no longer look like I’ve piled on a few pounds. Our baby has been kicking since about 16 weeks but they have got a lot stronger in the last few weeks, junior often makes me jump out of the blue, it’s really amusing, especially when I am sat at my desk. I did have a day the other week where the baby did not kick and I started to get a bit worried but the next day junior was kicking like crazy. I guess that our baby must have had a sleepy day or been in a different position but you can’t help but worry and it’s been nice to get reassurance from other mums who have experienced the same things.
