Well, the news is out...!

This may surprise a few people but it isn't eating too many pies that is the cause my ever expanding midriff! It has been becoming increasingly difficult to hide so we've been slowly going public with the news that I'm once again pregnant over the last couple of weeks. I have to say it's a bit of a relief as it means I can finally breathe out at work and wear large elasticated trousers too!

I'm a bit over 18 weeks pregnant now, and whilst I don't remember exactly I'm sure I was much smaller when carrying Tully which was the last time I managed to get to this stage. So either this one is HUGE, or more likely my tummy muscles think I'm having a laugh and are on strike refusing to do as much work in holding everything in again...

We finally told Tully last week: needless to say she is very excited about becoming a big sister, and understands a surprisingly mature amount about what is going on now and will happen when the baby comes. Having said that I still think it'll come as a rather large shock to her when it arrives and she discovers she is no longer centre of attention.

We got for the 20 week scan in a couple of weeks (a week late as I have to go to the US the week I should go) so fingers crossed everything is still ok.
