Norfolk Guest blogger the pregnancy diary part 3 – 22 weeks pregnant
Week 22 and I’ve definitely grown. Luckily the dungarees still fit and I’ve dragged out my old maternity tops too. It feels like time is flying by. We have four months left till the little lady arrives and in some ways that seems a way away and in others it feels like we need to get our skates on to prepare! Nesting has almost certainly commenced. Lounge and kitchen have been spring cleaned and the bedrooms are underway. I should be on first name terms with the ladies at the charity shop!
Our experience at the Sonography School was brilliant. We had two trainees ‘surf the bump’ which was great. Nothing beats seeing your little one moving around. I love how clear you see the spine and its movements. Plus the skill required in learning to use the equipment is pretty impressive as you have to almost think in 3D to get the right angle on the scanner.
I was lucky enough to win a launch ‘like & share’ competition for The Barns Beauty Rooms in Norfolk (Sprowston) last month and I’d booked my 2hrs of relaxation this week. The facial was dreamy and my skin was in need of some hydration. I then had a soothing massage that completely relaxed me, to the point of feeling wiped out when I got home. This leads me nicely onto napping! I’m feeling much better now aside from afternoon tiredness. So much so to encourage Jasmine to have a rest we both snooze together. I now feel like a toddler and when I wake, I’m refreshed like a Duracell bunny!

Jasmine has tuned in more to the baby. Her latest thing is pretending she has a baby in her tummy that miraculously pops out every so often. If only! She also likes to blow raspberries on my tummy which she finds hilarious and gets the baby squiggling too! Movements have stepped up a gear and usually happen around 5am or if there’s a sudden noise. Which in our household happens quite often.
My husband also can’t get over the idea that the baby could be moving in my tummy without me knowing when I’m asleep! I read somewhere that mums are superheroes and our super power is growing another human. Oh so very true.
I hope you have enjoyed my pregnancy diary part 3 – Till next time where we may have thought of some baby names and how we’re gonna approach this birth.
