Just Plodding Along
Not much has happened over the last couple of weeks.
We're coming up for Easter Break which terrifies me no end.
-How do I entertain a 4 year old child for two weeks when the weather is so NAFF?!
So for now I'm just taking it easy. I've had headaches on and off for a week or so and all my belly muscles and skin is stretching so that's loads of fun.
OH, and heartburn has kicked in. Wasn't hoping from a visit from the heartburn fairy until at least the 3rd trimester!
My bestie has also just announced her pregnancy! We're only about a month apart in due dates so it'll be really excellent bringing up our last babies together.
It wasn't planned to work out that way! but I'm sure we'll have tons of fun moaning to each other and being able to keep each other company when we just wanna cry!
I didn't have many friends sticking by me when I was preggers with Oz, so it will be fab to have her going through the same.
Misery loves company and all that ;)

Breast vs Bottle
It has always been my plan with this second baby to breastfeed.
With Oz, I wanted to try it and see how it went but knew that ultimately I would bottle feed. My mother bottle fed all of her children so it was really all I knew and being quite young at the time I was quite selfish and didn't feel I could give myself 100% to my baby all the time.
It wasn't long before Oz was spending some nights away from me either so it was all out of ease and comfort for myself rather than what was best.
Even before I was pregnant with baby number two I've decided to breastfeed and trying to get it into my head that that's what I'm doing and really preparing myself for it as early as possible, gathering all the information I can and steering away from buying bottles. However there's always the fact that not everyone supports breastfeeding particularly in public. I saw this article this morning and it really makes me fearful as a first time breast feeder how I'm going to cope:

The comments below the article is really where I feel disgusted. I don't feel like I should have to plan my entire life around feeding my child, it's completely natural and in my opinion, if babe and boob are covered there's no issue about it. I feel self conscious about myself as it is without other people coming up to me and asking me to shove off because THEY are uncomfortable. How did he think he was making that poor mother feel by telling everyone what she was doing!
It really makes me nervous to think I might be faced with these prejudices in my town and I can really understand now why women choose the bottle over the breast. I am still wanting to breastfeed but its going to be something weighing on my mind until I have the balls to leave the house with my baby.

Mothers Day and Belly Bumps
I'm a little over 15 weeks now and I'm really starting to feel it!
I'm getting pains in my sides from all the stretching, I get tired so much quicker and, the worst of the lot...I never can get comfortable!
On the plus though, I'm big enough to get offered seats on the bus, I can pig out on anything I want without feeling guilty about it and I can be lazy and get hubs to do the housework for me.
Which is what my lovely boys were doing for me yesterday. I woke up to toast and a homemade cookie with some apple juice, then they left me to watch telly in bed while they went and tidied up downstairs. We chilled out for much of the day and then went to eat a roast at the in-laws. We were even treated to BEEF! my favourite. All in all I can't complain...much
Me at 14+2

Freaky Dreams
I don't dream often (or at least remember them) but when I do they're very strange.
And now that my eggo is preggo, the dreams are coming thick and fast.
Pretty much every night I'll have 2-3 dreams that are just plain effed up. I remember having a few weird dreams when I was pregnant with Oscar but this is ridiculous.
I had one dream where I was out on the tiles with a cheeky girl - hot pants and all. And another where I was sent to boot camp with a character from a book I'm reading.
The freakiest by far though was where I was a ninja but used sharp pencils to stake people with.
Bleeding mental.
