Did I just say that?

Since becoming a mother, priorities certainly change- that goes without saying. But that's not all that changes, the old body isn't quite as taught as it once was and my energy levels always hang around the 50% mark, where as once upon a time I would bound out of bed (at 10am) and be rearing to go for my day of absolutely nothing ahead. Ohhhh..... Nostalgia. You are bittersweet. 

But even though I don't get to sleep in, and it's quite possible my boobs will never, ever be gravitationally acceptable again, I still love this new life more than I could have ever dreamed. So if it seems like I'm complaining, I'm really not- I'm simply having a laugh at my own expense. 

So lately I've started noting down some of the ridiculous things that have come out of my mouth. A few times I've actually stopped and taken a moment to either laugh at, or feel sorry for myself over some of these statements;

"Shit is it 8:30? I need to be in bed" - said to Oli at least once a week.

"Did she poo? Is it hard or soft? How much?" - said embarrassingly often aswell. 

"My boobs look like zucchinis" - said out loud to myself whilst drying myself off in the bathroom recently. I then proceeded to take a (classy) snap of said zucchinis and send them to my friend Aimee with a zucchini emoticon (they really think of everything with those apps don't they) 

"Oli was that you or the baby"- enough said. 

"Confession- it's been 3 days since I last showered" - this is actually rather disgusting but you would not believe how often I do forget. Sometimes I think I have but can't remember so just will myself to believe I have, that's clean enough for me.

"No thanks" - to beer. Said so much it hurts. 

"I can't feel my nipples anymore"- its true, I can't. 

And finally;
"Fuck it, lets have another kid" - said approx 6 months ago. Ha!

Life is certainly interesting these days!!

Anyway, it's Friday!! And we get our scan this afternoon, can't friggen wait! Hope everyone has had a fantastic week and has an even better weekend, I'll be in touch with updates.

Thought of the day "if it's a boy I literally will not be able to name this child"
