So
I’m a little later than promised with this post, mainly due the fact
that I completely wore myself into the ground on Monday through all that
can be described as trying to cram too much Christmas into one day!
My body has once again reminded me that I can`t do what I would consider
as a non-strenuous normal days activities anymore. Mart and I had an
amazing day in Bath doing some Christmas shopping and really enjoyed a
day out together. By 2pm I was pretty exhausted so we split up and I
came home for a nap while he went off to get Luke from Nursery. I
literally got off the train and dragged myself home, but could have only
had about 30mins sleep before the boys were back ready to go off to
‘Fabulous Christmas’ an evening of Christmas magic at Bristol Zoo. It
was sadly not quite as fabulous as we had hoped. I don’t want to moan, but
when you’re promised to feed Santa's reindeer (two very tired looking
reindeer who had been feed all day I presume so weren't the slightest
bit hungry) ice sculptures (one gorilla) & street performers (two
scary snowflakes and what can only be described as a cross between a giant camel and reindeer) the magic I was expecting wasn’t
exactly anything to write home about. Our night excursion completely
finished me off, and I literally spent the whole day yesterday in bed
emotionally and physically drained. I won’t be doing that again in a
hurry!
Here are some pics of our evening

Monday’s exhaustion however is definitely not going to put a damper on my Christmas spirit, it’s safe to say i’ve got the bug this year! The tree has been up and decorated since Dec 1st, and I have adorned the walls with tinsel (or sparkley as Luke calls it). I think it’s all down to Luke and his new found excitement of for it all! My heart melted when he came home from nursery and asked me if we could write a letter to Santa asking for a green tractor because he’s been a good boy. Fast forward 3 years and you can only imagine what Christmas will be like in our household.
Not the best pic, but here’s a proud Luke by his newly decorated tree.
Physically i’ve been struggling since my last post and have developed a very bad case of trapped wind and reflux which has kept me awake most of the night for the last couple of nights. To try and and get some sleep I have had to sleep on the sofa in an upright position to stop the reflux from waking me up. I read up about Dyspepsia in pregnancy and it mentions not eating for 3 hours before going to bed. I’m not sure how I’m going to manage that. Although with that said my appetite has completely disappeared. I am hoping that I’m just going through a bad patch and things will return to normal as I’m definitely not getting the right amount of food and nutrients to fully nourish the babies. If it doesn’t get any better then I’m going to invest in a blender or juicer to make myself super healthy smoothies.
Finally here’s bump at 19 weeks.
