My little man isn't even 3 weeks yet and he's already 10 pounds 10 ounces and in his 3-6 month clothes! Giant bebe!
We're getting on so well and I'm loving being a mum.
Thanks for all the lovely messages
Mum, Grandma and Great Grandma Clarke. He's carrying on my name.

20:11 25th April 2012 the best documented moment of my life
A huge thank you to my Doula's Linda and Angela. I managed with zero intervention or drugs in 10 hours, I'm amazed that I managed it.
Thank you everyone x

7 weeks to go.
My body is so very different from 33 weeks ago. I know that is an obvious statement to make but when you are actually going through it, it's such a bizarre yet beautiful experience. I don't feel sexy or liberated as some women would describe, I feel that my body is now serving a different purpose and I can look at myself from a completely different perspective. I'd say that I admire myself rather than look at what I can do to improve. I even look at my face and feel like I'm looking at a different woman to what I knew and who I was.
I have really taken my chakra focussed meditation classes very seriously to get through the labour and hormones that are to come. I have opted for no pain relief (unless emergency only i.e Caesarean, tearing or forceps)
Meditation has made me feel as if each day I'm waking up more and more, I feel lifted and positive, less scared and unsure. I intend to progress into Kundalini meditation when I feel like I am fully aware and ready. Apparently Kundalini can be experienced during childbirth in both positive and negative ways, which is why some women go into an uncontrollable state and need drugs whilst other women ride the Kundalini and turn birth into a positive and mind blowing experience. Obviously there are always allowances for uncontrollable medical circumstance but if it can be avoided then I personally feel that it should be.

I thought that I'd just go for it and go nude for my 28th week.
Every day I get a little bit stronger and I know that I can do this alone.
I also made a conscious effort to be around people and places that make me happy.

Well this is scary even for me to look at ...

It was taken when I was back in Ireland very recently and it was kind of surreal to be back there, I felt like I had jumped into the grave of me and the babys father. I still haven't heard from him, its like we never existed, yet I'm having his child. I can't even begin to describe how strange that feels.
Im nearly at the 5 month mark so I get to find out what I'm having in a matter of weeks. I think it will all become a little more real at that point. I wasn't happy or excited at all to begin with I was just scared and unsure, but slowly I am starting to feel it and I'm catching myself smile more and more.
In other news, I got myself a house and moved back to the U.K. Lets hope this is a new start for me.
