oh yeah, bella. I am struggling to find the joy this pregnancy, but still trying. and getting scared, because this is meant to be the good bit before the tough end bit.

it has been difficult to even think about the coming baby, cos im just wishing the.pg to be over. however, recently I decided on boy name and girl name- and DH.even liked them both, so that was a big step forward. also started cleaning out kid's stuff, and dropped first bag to charity bin, and that felt good too.

have had few chats with dd about the baby coming out, and it is kinda cool to watch her working things out. she is talking more about maybe being at the birth, so will see in a few months. I guess it will be exciting news for show and tell if she is there at the birth.

what foods are good to reduce swelling? I have carpal tunnel again, and would like to reduce symptoms if possible.
