Hope Street was closed due to a gas leak for 3 days this week which caused serious traffic problems and virtually gridlocked the city. I was even quoted in the local press! Cancellations due to traffic cost me a 15% loss on business this week.
Baby still doing well, kicking and moving which is nice. Still being sick. Aqua-natal class was good again this week although a bit achy afterwards as I trained at the gym a couple of days earlier. Richard got a nice Pooh bear and a Barney dinosaur for the baby which both talk and look great.

Had a fairly quiet week as lots of people still doing exams, people being ill and a trip to the RNLI station and the midwife's.
The trip to the RNLI was brilliant and really interesting to get to look around the lifeboat station and talk to some of the people who volunteer there. They really do do a splendid job.
The midwife's appointment was all OK this week, blood pressure OK, urine OK and heard the baby's heart beat again which I always love. It was a relief. I'm still being quite sick and she said I could have some anti-sickness tablets but I really don't want to take any tablets at all unless I absolutely have to. Although I've lost over a stone in weight through sickness since the beginning of the pregnancy I always drink plenty of fluid and top up on nutrients as soon as I can after being ill. Other than feeling nauseous at times I otherwise feel fine and coming up to 6 months now. Got a 3D scan in a few weeks and will find out the sex which I'm looking forward to. I'm feeling it move around and kick quite a bit too which is great and I talk to it and sing to it every day. I can't wait to be a Mum. As long as baby is OK that's all that matters.

Actually had 3 consecutive days with no sickness - hooray! Was sick again this morning though.
Went to aqua-natal class this week which was really good. Certainly gave me an energy lift.
Detail cleaned my bathroom though yesterday so had to sleep for 2 hours afterwards.

20 weeks pregnant today, that's half way. Baby is apparently about 16.4cm in length and weighs about 300g.
Still being sick but I guess as this hasn't eased up now it will last the whole course now.
Working from home is making such a difference as I can rest in between clients and I save all that time travelling so generally feeling better.
Had a cancellation today so managed to get out to the gym which is something I would not do on a work day normally.
Still going to bed really early though but feeling comfortable and getting into a good routine... as well as getting big!

Excellent. My blood sugar level was back to normal so no need to worry but they may do another test at 26 weeks ish to double check. All OK - hooray!
