Changes...
Cold morning again and with the change in temp comes the whole lizard thing. One thing I really have to thank my grandfather for his this vitamin A deficiency he passed on to all us girls, poor Mum copped it really badly, but the rest of us still suffer. We can tell winter is coming by the sudden burning of skin drying out, and us resembling reptiles with skin flakiness. Yeah, I own shares in moisterising companies, and oh, heavan forbid any baby-ness happens, I've got to be super careful about stretch marks. Pass the shea butter and coconut oil honey.
Spent yesterday kicking around the house, woke up feeling pretty tired and just generally gross in the belly. Add to that some great light-headed moments and I figured work could do without me. Read alot more of Kaz Cookes 'Up the Duff'. I heart that woman, she just makes me want to laugh with her witty comments about impending baby doom. Admittedly when I first started reading she scared the absolute hell out of me, had I done this, had I done that, I still needed to get to the doc and do this and this. I panicked. Visit to Mum. Over a cuppa she threatened to hit me with the bloody book, 'millions of women every year give birth to babies and do they read a book'? Most of them seem to be in Africa and I'm sure they dont have a copy of this 'zany' tome. So I read with half a mind on it, and take what information I can and then call Mum. She's done the child/baby thing. She'd know. I must admit, since talking about babies I've spent alot of time chatting with my Mum. Ok, I usually spend alot of time with my Mum but this is *different*. This is 'Mum' to 'possible future Mum' sort of bonding. And it rocks.
So while I haven't told her that I was obsessive and got out the ol' test the other night, I'll tell her tonight and no doubt she'll drive me straight to nearest chemist/supermarket to get another one to confirm. Heaven forbid she pulls out the 'thermometer' she has been threatening me with, because even though she is my Mum and I love her to bits, I think you can go too far. ;-)

If you can get past the first bit of Up the Duff, with the scary what can go wrong, what you should do etc, its a good, funny read - I like it. I haven't found any one book that tells ya everything, I'm a fan of skimming through books in the bookshop, getting them from the public library, obsessively buying magazines, cruising the web, browsing blogs - hmm, no wonder I get information overload! Looking forward to finding out whether you have another human in residence... Good luck!
