Because that’s pretty much all there is left. They give my chav velour tracksuit bottoms the odd day off.

Even bun-in-the-oven yoga left me drained, dizzy and spaced out this evening. Should probably miss militant proper yoga tomorrow else I might just beak myself.

I’m a very active sort of person. Boundless energy. Well, I was. I’ve come to terms with the fact that snowboarding this winter is probably out (you’ll notice I say probably; I probably haven’t comer to terms with it at all…), but I was wholly unprepared for the effect a gentle Sunday walk would have on me today - just fifteen minutes in, and I’m panting, hanging on to the fence and trying to work out who to call to come and fetch me. Only I’m in the middle of a field with no vehicular access. Stretcher maybe… Disturbed by my useless lack of stamina, I continue, managing an hour in total after a rest, but only on the flat. Must try harder. No! I’m having twins; extreme fatigue is allowed. Rewarded myself with a good 2 hours slumped in front of low-grade telly for my skill and effort.

And I can’t even do a single chin-up any more, even if I wanted to.

…and yesterday I didn’t. Caroline does beauty in Florida. Very kindly she did beauty on me in the form of glossy extensions held in by hard little lumps of glue that I can’t help picking at already.

They are doing a fine job of restoring an element of glamour into my otherwise lumpen and inelegant pregnant body. Other pregnant women look beautiful I have always thought. I have never before known fat armpits.

Week 21, and somedays I’m quite oblivious to this watermelon that lives up my jumper, whereas on other days…

I’m only just over half way, but really I’d like to get them out now. Just for a look, I’m so curious. As long as they could go safely back inside afterwards. That’s a rather frightening science fiction / future scenario that I don’t want to indulge in any further.

And just what I wanted, though somehow I feel guilty for getting my way. Finn, Manu and Luca - lovely though you all are, these two should redress the balance somewhat.

Tomorrow we have the anomaly scan. Nice term. All I want to know is that they’re fine, and what sex each of them is. I hope they can tell. Two girls please.
