Karen's Journey

Firstly, a big thank you to Annie for reading my journal last night and emailing me as per my request :) It was great to hear from you directly and I will drop you another email shortly...

Another full on day at work but boy the time sure does fly though! Looks like another weekend working - not sure how long for at this stage yet but hopefully just a few hours. It's mainly doing checking of the reports of the all the work we have done and we have been told we can do it at home but I personally think it will take longer at home but then it is more comfortable especially when the weather is so crappy outside! So will see how I go tomorrow, will bring some home and do some checking Friday night, then on Saturday afternoon/evening after getting home from Mum's and then if needs be I MIGHT go in on Sunday for a couple of hours or so... but I still want to meet Jo (my pregnant friend) as well so will play it all by ear.

I have found another pair of trousers that have been banished to the back of my wardrobe until next year. This is a pair that got far to big for me whilst I was losing weight and I thought woohoo I could wear them now BUT there is no stretch in these ones and I was fine whilst walking and standing BUTTTTTTTTT whilst sitting I have never been so uncomfortable in my life! I ended up undoing my zip and button whenever I was at my desk but it was still tight around the crotch - felt like I was getting a wedgey all day long!!! LOL So as soon as I got home they came off and are now at the back of my wardrobe... which means I do need to go and do some shopping for some cheap pants that I can't really afford but I do need them as I have a couple pairs of work pants left in my wardrobe.

My sleeping has been quite good over the last week and even managed a night without the homeopathic spray last night but on saying that I woke up with a real sore back and it is still really annoying me. So am hoping to get in to see the physio through the Hospital sometime in the next week or so. And since buying the Rescue Remedy Spray a week ago I have not not had a major panic attack and I seem to have the confidence in myself to stop them getting bad when I feel them coming on which is great in itself. But it is good to have it on hand just in case... and the Rescue Remedy will come in handy for when I go into labour later down the track.

Must try to remember to get Steph to take a photo of me sometime soon as my last photo was at 17 weeks. I still only see fat when I look in the mirror but almost everyone else says nope its definitely a bump there :)

Anyway, time to get moving as there are a couple of emails I want to send out before heading to bed.... enjoy your Friday everyone! :)
