Is that the time already?

I have a tummy full of ham, cheese and red jalapeno rolls and also a 24 week pregnant bump. Where has the time gone?

This is my best pregnancy out of the three so far, My lovely oldest son was nightmare pregnancy, I could barely stay awake most of the time, I couldn't eat much, was sick a lot, and generally felt terrible. My pregnancy with my daughter was not as bad as with my eldest, had more energy, but then I had to, being a Mummy to an energetic 2 year old at the time. But this time has to beat even that time, we had a few health worries with my daughter, and I spent the second half of the pregnancy worried sick and wishing the time away so we could meet her and find her to be beautiful and perfect - which of course she was and still is.

Everything so far has run fairly smoothy, and am quite enjoying my bump, but he (yes we found out he is a boy) does kick me really hard and it actually hurts sometimes! Maybe a future footballer?

My lovely husband is on call this weekend for work, he didn't get home till late last night, he was out early this morning for work, and has just returned home at 1.30 this afternoon, he walked in the door with 2 seperate mobile phones ringing, looking frazzled and quite frankly pissed off.

So that is our bank holiday weekend then, I'll see him occasionally between phone calls, and spend most of the time seperating the children from fights - although to be fair, they have been great so far today.

We were going to see Toy Story 3 at the cinema, in 3D this afternoon, but I am not sure that is going to happen now. This makes me sad as I have wanted to see it since it came out in the cinema 6 weeks ago, and the children would rather like to see it as well. Its the last weekend before my eldest returns to school after his summer holiday, which has flown past us.

We did him proud though between us and the grandparents, he has seen rescued horses at a sanctuary, been on piers and won teddies, seen steam trains, and spent time on the beach, he had a week in France, and visited the hell that is Disneyland, a huge french palace, a traditional french market and a tiny village where all the shops were too posh for us to go into! He has tasted French sausages, French Macdonalds, we were in the Brie region and so he sampled brie, and other cheeses, meats and fantastic bread and pastries.

Time is ticking on, and now my family is back in the same house again, I should go and spend time with them. (and on the subject of time, my eldest son is learning to tell the time, and I am enjoying the updates!)
