Ok, so I fucked up lastnight's post. Shame, it was a huge list of 69 things. I even cried over the deleteage of it lol... fuckin' hormones! I'm gonna try to re-create the list tonight though, so watch out for it! XD
Anyhow, I just got back from my midwife appointment. Yeah, it was at 2:30, but I went shopping afterwards... I bought a new top (not an interesting one) and some hair dye. I know I shouldn't be dying my hair, but I'm so fed up of having boring hair... I'm going to go back to my usual pinkyness! XD
Everything was hoobacious at the midwife appointment. My piss was fine. My blood pressure was 100/60. Fundal height was 32 (which is perfect because I'm 32 weeks pregnant). His heart rate was 140-155. I got my Sure Start Maternity Grant thing signed and got the Health In Pregnancy form. I'm still low risk... And best of all, he's now 'ceph free' which basically means that his head is down (like it should be), it's not engaged yet and he's no longer breech. =D
My next midwife appointment is in two weeks and is on September 10th... it's scary that it's that date in just 2 weeks because it seems dead close to October 19th!

Stuff
Erm yeah, I'm just gonna write about random pregnancy related crap because I'm bored!
Last night, I really shouldn't have watched Neighbours. It freaked me out big styleeee! Bridget had her baby in a tent. I'm possibly going camping some time in the next couple of weeks... and not to a music festival with proper first aidy people! o_O I don't wanna give birth in a tent! I probably wont though lol. Ooohh, and it looked super-painful and horrible... and the cord was around the baby's neck and everything and it had to be rushed to hospital... Really not the kind of thing a pregnant person wants to watch on tv. Why aren't there ever any straightforward, nice births on tv? =/
I filled in the big form for the Sure Start Maternity Grant last night. I'm going to have to get the midwife to sign it at my appointment tomorrow and then I can finally send it off and hopefully, it wont take too long to come through. I need to get a form for the Health In Pregnancy thingy tomorrow too. The midwife almost gave me one at my last appointment, but then she got distracted with lecturing me about iron and stuff lol. I really need all this money as soon as possible though. I've realised that I need to buy things and I can't afford to buy things. I get like £50 a week from income support shizz, and that's only enough to buy basic food shizz and whatnot... Well yeah, at the moment I spend quite a bit of it on random crap... but that's because my grandparents insist on letting me eat their food and buying me stuff. I do give them money towards things and stuff though. That'll all change soon though, and I'll have to start being super-careful with money and have to buy all my own food and stuff because some time in the next couple of months I'm moving out. So yeah, must start being careful with money. I think I'm going to go for the cheaper thing rather than the quinny buzz... It's nowhere near as nice, but I think I can afford it. Babies are expensive!
I've heard stories of people peeing themselves whilst pregnant... Luckily that hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm living in fear of it happening! It would be immensely embarrassing! Pregnancy is basically just many months of grossness that gradually gets worse and worse until a huge explosion of grossness right at the end. I don't understand why someone would actually choose to get pregnant. Like yeah, if it happens accidentally, it happens... but for these people that spend years and years actually trying to get pregnant*, they don't know how horrible pregnancy really is... Why don't they just adopt of something... save themselves loads of months of hell! Yeah, they get a cute little baby at the end of it, but they can get babies from other sources! Why would anyone want to put themselves through all this?! Y'know, I'm saying all this and I've had it easy. No morning sickness or anything. I can't imagine how horrid it is for all the people who are plagued with sickness and stuff!
* Note: I'm not dissing people who choose to get pregnant, I'm merely saying I hate pregnancy. I fully respect anyones choices to try to get pregnant and I'm not saying people shouldn't- just that pregnancy is gross lol. Don't want to offend anyone!
But yes, it may sound like I don't want to be pregnant, but I do. I may not have chosen to get pregnant, but even though I hate being pregnant, I can't wait to meet the squigglytiddlypeep! <3
Stay tuned for my next blog post, which will probably be a list of all the things I hate about pregnancy! XD

Updateage.
I need to start updating this again... It's been 9 days since I last did. I am now 31 weeks and 5 days pregnant and there are only 58 days left until the squigglytiddlypeep is born.
After this incident, I've been having to take iron tablets. The midwife on the ward said I had no choice because my haemoglobin had dropped to 9.9 and apparently it would just drop more if I didn't take them. Meep, it's not like it had dropped a lot or anything. It was 10.4 before and that was a couple of weeks ago. >.< I wont refuse to take them though, because it's good for the squigglytiddlypeep. If he wasn't in me, I'd definitely not be taking them.
The heartburn is starting to get ridiculous over the last couple of days. Yesterday I lost count of how many times I needed to take gaviscon. I'm not sure if it's all just because I'm getting pregnanter or because of what I've been eating. Gaviscon FTW!
I still haven't bought any more baby stuff. I think I'm going to wait to get the Sure Start Maternity Grant and the Health In Pregnancy thingy. I need to keep as much of my other money as possible, as I plan to move out of this house either just before or just after the squigglytiddlypeep is born.
Yesterday I thought of a name I really liked. My mother was once again bitchy about it. I shouldn't have agreed to tell her. I need to start seriously considering names and whatnot because there's only like 8 weeks and 2 days left until he's due! o_O He needs a perfect name. If other people have a problem with what I decide to call him, they can fuck right off. ^__^
In the pub a few days ago (I was drinking mainly non-alcoholic drinks, so no lectures please :P) me and a friend were discussing how I could make use of my maternity jeans after the baby is born. They have a huge pouchy thing at the front that goes over my belly, so we reckon it'd be a good idea to use it for storing the baby in. It'd be like a kangaroo pouch. I would bounce around a lot, call him either Joey or Skippy and live a beautiful life as a kangaroo... It would be awesome! Although naming him after Skippy wouldn't be good... because he's a bush kangaroo and the word 'bush' would just be inappropriate! XD
Anyhows... this was only some kinda filler post thing. I'll write about something else later on... and maybe update with a bump picture to show how much I've grown in the last couple of weeks.
