Emotionally, I've found this week a bit more difficult than I have any others.

Simon has been working away this week so I've been on my own.

Usually a bit of time alone is something I relish, but this week I've been feeling a little lonely and then I feel stupid for feeling lonely!

It's been a long week though. Aquanatal was great fun and nobody commented on my patchy bikini line, but unless you were on the floor looking up, I'm not sure you would be able to see anyway.

I had an antenatal day yesterday and I've been referred to the assessment unit because I've got sugary wee. The timing for the glucose tolerance test couldn't be worse really - the day after Valentine's Day. So there'll be no chocolate hearts for me this year.

I met the best midwife I've seen yet yesterday and I've decided already that if she's on duty when I go into labour, I'll be requesting her. She was really laid back and had a very relaxed and open attitude and - the best bit - she said I could have my mum as a second birthing partner just in case.
