26 Weeks

So, last week was quite exhausting! A full timetable back at school was hard work even though I was teaching other people's classes and I was glad to be having a little lie in on Thursday before our antenatal class about breast feeding.

Again the antenatal class was OK but not much to write about really! I was feeling exhausted and emotional and I went to speak to the midwife about how I would go about finishing work earlier than maternity leave starts if I needed to and then ended up crying about it which was quite embarrassing obviously! She told me I should go and see the doctor so I will have to see how I feel going on over the next weeks. I don't want to finish too early as it will be such a long time to wait and I know it will really drag on but I know I need to do what is best for me and the babies. We will have to see how it goes! 

When I went into school Thursday afternoon, I was so tired that by the end of the day I was in tears again so I realised that maybe I needed to call it a week and rang in sick Friday. 

The babies have been so active over the weekend and I've started feeling much better after resting. They are moving pretty much all the time now and it's really lovely to feel them so often. Unfortunately, feeling them isn't as fun when I am getting woken up in the night when Sage is wedged up under my left rib...ouch!

The other obstacle to me continuing to work, other than my tiredness and emotional capability to get through a day without crying, is actually whether I will be able to stand up by myself soon or have anything to wear other than pyjamas haha!

Here is my 26 week bump picture...not long now?!!?!
