Tired!

Pregnancy this time round feels much different from the last two. Mainly that the usual round of first trimester symptoms are lingering into the second and that I am still so very tired. I assume the tiredness has more to do with coping with pregnancy with two energetic little girls, when I was pregnant with Fliss, Leni still had one after lunch nap whereas Fliss rarely naps and when she does it means she goes to bed after 10pm.

So, I'm feeling the Home Ed guilt. Despite the fact that I shouldn't as they have both been doing lots of new things so I clearly am still doing an ok job of getting out of their way!

Leni has started drawing more than faces and cats, in the last week she has expanded into sunshines, rainbows, trees and people with arms, legs and detailed faces (including pupils in the eyes!). She has also had a few goes at writing other people's names, her computer skills continue to astound me and she likes playing adding up on her (and my) fingers.

Fliss has begun imaginary play in earnest, explaining who she is 'being', who I am and often having conversations in character. She also talks to 'baby tummy' saying 'Hello, I'm Fliss. Hello baby tummy, I can do hopping. Hop, hop, hop. Bye Bye baby tummy'.

Back to baby tummy, I've booked a different doula for this birth as S who was at Fliss' birth is due to have her second baby in a month or so. I've been feeling the baby move for a few weeks now, and I look about ten weeks more pregnant than I am!

Rambly sort of blog really, more focus next time hopefully!
