Having a bump seriously impeeds your dancing!!!

18 weeks now and I have received my first Christmas card addressed to us and the bump. Last night was our annual scout Christmas dinner and it had been nearly 6weeks since I had seen some of the people there. Consequently, there was a lot of touching of the bump (not sure I like that) and comments on how large I am getting.

But I had a good night. Unfortunately, I was unable to dance as much as I would have liked. Firstly, I seemed to get out of breath quite quickly and also the size of the bump weighed quite heavy - not good when bouncing around to The Fratellis!! Luckily I was able to participate in a fair bit of table dancing - sitting at the table and waving my arms around. Oh, and I have a new party trick. Due to the increased size of my boobs I can pour a small bottle of wine into a glass without using my hands!!

Back to the music.....Over the last few weeks the baby has been exposed to a few nights of loud music - what with Toyah in Vampires Rock 2 weeks ago, and the Kaleidoscope Project last week (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=398089359). I am sure the baby will have already decided what kind of music it likes and doesn't like. The Bull is already talking about teaching it piano and, as he is currently studying for his Grade 8, fingers crossed it should be born with some form of musical ability - even if only being able to dance like its mother!!!

This week I went to the Doctors (again) - and got to hear the baby again - as I was worried that the pains from the other week had now gone. I suppose it was just anxiety about not feeling the baby move as yet. But then, there was an afternoon when I went for a lie down and I did feel something - whether or not it was baby, wind or indigestion I cannot be certain!! The Doctor (different to the last one) said that my buttock pain is probably related to my back and to watch myself in those areas. Oh dear, I forgot her advice when it came to dancing the night away...

And thanks Lynne for a lovely Baby Records Book.
