12 weeks

I think I’m more like my mother than I care to think about. She has these “witchy” charms about her where she can predict things before they happen. Oh, and she can blow lights just by walking under them. No joke. I’ve seen it several times. She blew a whole ROW of lights once. We just kept on walking. J Anyway, last night when I went to bed (about 8:30) I dreamt that my cat jumped on my belly (where bubs is) and at about 9:30pm, she actually DID jump on my belly RIGHT WHERE BUBS IS! I woke up with a terrible shock and started crying. She scared the CRAP out of me! Hubby was like WTF? as he was also sound asleep and woke up to me screaming at the cat and crying. (I think he’s getting used to this crazy hormonal Pregzilla side of me now.)

I was very angry at her but it really wasn't her fault. She didn’t know where I was. It was dark! She probably got sick of being on hubby's side of the bed but when she jumped across, she just happened to land right on me. She’s never done that before and I doubt she did any damage to Bubs but the thoughts that were swimming through my head afterwards were not very nice ones at all. I did finally end up getting back to sleep after a while but what a night.

I think she knows there’s something going on but she doesn’t know what. Call me a loony but I actually talk to her and tell her that she won’t be No.1 for much longer and that I still love her but things are going to change. Yep. That sounds like loony talk alright!

On a lighter note, today I am OFFICIALLY in the 12th week! I’m 1/3rd of the way there. OMG. I have another 6 months of this? *faint* Actually, I’ve been very lucky so I’m going to cherish every pregnant moment. I just wish I looked more pregnant and not just fat. When I come back to work after my holidays I’ll be 16 weeks so hopefully I’ll have a prego belly by then and can start wearing all the maternity clothes I bought. Although, the shirt I have on today USED to be baggy and now it fits... *faints again*

We still haven’t decided on a theme for the nursery. When I say “we” I mean “I” because we haven’t even discussed it but I already know what his response will be, the usual “whatever you reckon dear.” We’ve (I’ve) found the kind of furniture we (I) want but we (I) need to decided on a colour for the walls first. I’m not going for a feature wall but rather a motif or stickers instead. At the moment I’m loving the classic old ‘Winnie the Pooh’ but every child has Pooh in their nursery (that sounds nasty…) so I might go for something else. Something gender neutral even though we’re going to find out the sex when we can.

OMG. Christmas Cards! I just remembered I haven’t even written them out yet! I was waiting until after our first scan so I could also put from Bubs on them but that was MONDAY and today is WEDNESDAY. I’m so slack. I’ll HAVE to do them tonight. I could be really lazy and just email everyone but there are a few who don’t have email so I’ll still have to write those out. Bah Humbug.
