32 weeks pregnant

I spoke to my sister last night and she asked why there weren't more pictures of my bump on my blog. The honest answer is - it's very difficult to take pictures of your own stomach! Anyway, she asked me to take one and put it on here - so here it is - taken this morning. My bump at 32 weeks.


























I had my scan done at the hospital yesterday and am happy to report that I was told everything seems to be normal and looks good. The sonographer said I was very lucky that I haven't got stretch marks. She said some people just have skin that doesn't leave stretch marks and apparently, it's genetic. I was very happy to hear this and glad that I don't have any marks. I am being very good and using Cocoa Butter cream on my stomach twice a day, so maybe that's helped. Who knows?!

First Lamaze class on Saturday was interesting. Penri came with me, but there wasn't really much for him to get involved in. We just learnt some breathing exercises; all of which came very naturally to me as they are the same as my singing exercises. Then we learnt some stretches for our legs and I had no problems with these. I'm glad to be flexible though; some of the women looked very uncomfortable and in pain! Apparently, next week we are going to learn more exercises. I told Pen he doesn't have to come, but he said he'll be there.

Speaking of Penri, he is in London working this week. Keeping incredibly busy, he has back to back meetings every day, but I think he is also glad of the break from India. He comes home on Saturday and I can't wait! I don't like being here alone - even though I have the two cats for company, it's not the same.

Not much other news to report - things are just going along nicely and I'm feeling well in myself. I must admit, I get tired a lot quicker these days but I'm told that's only normal! Only about 8 weeks to go and then I won't be getting any sleep at all. I can't wait!!!!

That's all for today.
