stupidty or motivation

This year due to this big bump I was not as active as I would like to be... No waking up early shouting "RACE DAY" and clearing more space for medals... My body finds is a bit tricky to adjust to the whole baby thing. I'm literally just bump on legs. It is really good, that I do not feel like a giant, well that is if I don't look at my feet:) and I will have less to lose after he is here (Can't wait!! So excited!!)  My work fundraisers this year for Birmingham Children's Hospital ... We did few fun things, like bike ride GM (who actually cycled from Slough to Bham) vs Staff on stationary bike in the lobby. Sure guests saw some sights that day. They also want some of staff to get together and do the half marathon, Bupa Great Birmingham run... You remember I did it last year ?  So stupid thing I did before I left on my maternity earlier this week.... I have emailed out GM to say "Pencil me in for the Half... provided everything goes...

Belly is big. I mean my preggers trousers are like super tight on the bump which is not ideal.... So few other interesting things I have discovered about being pregnant, I can probably write a book about this awesome and terrifying experience.  Even if anyone tells you that pregnancy clothes are cute now.. well they are...they will cost you a fortune so I was determined to stay on low budget as possible. It doesn't however help that everything is tight, and actual clothes that still fit... well some one always who will tell you "oh you know her, well her clothes stretched and she couldn't wear them after the baby".... And then there is of course your loved ones tell you "oh get maternity clothes coz you are so uncomfortable"... And... Yet nothing fits! I'm too short for conventional maternity clothes.... This is a top... A very very ugly top. I mean what on earth are they expecting that short women will not have babies? So I m sticking ...

Trip to Grey Capital...

Perks of working for a large hotel chain is that you can stay somewhere nice for cheap!:) Yay! We stayed in lovely 4* in Kensington area of London.  Shame about the weather really, our event we went to was in Kensington Roof Gardens .  One amazing location.... Really really stunning, but rain and cold and wind really interfere with the party....  But first things first... I went to V&A. I like taking bump into museums, makes me feel all super mummy worried about eduction of my mini me from the very start... or, some of you might think I'm just crazy!  One of few things I miss about living in London is the museums!!  Main reason to go to V&A was to see The Glamour Of Italian Fashion exhibit.... Many reasons to see that, Elizabeth Taylor jewels from Bvlgari, Gucci vintage, Italian Glamour.... My friend Olga who is currently lives in Milano says that Italians are just so pro fashion and so much glamour in them. Unlike whe...

worries....bit of a personal note.

My hubby is amazing, he is like super supportive even if he s calling me things... I know he means it with love. I am freaking out....  I really not in control of my body, this upsets me great deal. My joints clicking, my hips are hurting... and many other unpleasant things pregnancy related, sore and bigger boobies are just the start. I do not think I will be able to run the half marathon this year... Sad face.  I'm super worried about the birth it self..... (do not think I need to elaborate on this) My emotions are running high and crazy.... doesn't help that I cannot unwind and slightly overworked. Well I guess I need to find the way how to, that doesn't involve me running fast on tread mill listening to shouty and loud music... Shopping is not that same either. It's just stress, all I see if the things I cannot wear, so no cardio a la Carrie Bradshaw.  Stephen said to me that he feels more maternal than I am... Well I did not expect to be pregn...

so more changes...

We actually been to Wales to enjoy the local food, drink and company of bunch of our old Welsh and not so Welsh friends! The simple reason was the lovely lovely Sarah Smith  There she is trying to climb the bale with one good arm! Silly girl:) Sarah is off on the big adventure, she just moved and started new job in Singapore!  We all will and aready miss her, but it is all for the better, besides now we have place to crush when in Asia! It is always going to get messy when one is out and about on St Paddy's day. We all had a hat... And some hat two, Jessica!! Karaoke, music, lots and lots of soda water for me.... Oh fun was had by all. More by me looking at all the hangover faces. It has been very strange to sing karaoke (or trying to avoid it) when sober. We left the gang coz the bump got tired and really needed a sleep.... But as far as I know dancing had continued into the wee hours of the morning, fallowing by two epi...

Oh fishy fishy!

Owen came to visit. And as he always said I am better in organising fun and such in new cities. Like in Bath we had cake and went around giggling at the funny shops names, yes Knob Connection I'm thinking of you. This time we went to Sealife Centre. Oh and it was fun... We seen many many fish tanks full of wonderful and weird fish. Tiny sharks, Nemo world made me want to go home and watch cartoons, seen my very favourite sting rays. I just love the way they swim, gliding like throw water. There were even some jelly fish... Now that's  something one can watch forever. They even have some otters!!! Three little dudes called Kiwi, Mango and Apricot. Excellent otter's names! Unfortunately when we got there after the feeding so the otters been sleeping... One of them clearly had a dream and was moving all of its paws. Such cuteness!!  One thing for sure, the belly is here and its growing! ... Boys though this pi...
