So one thing I’ve really noticed is how s-l-o-w-l-y pregnancy seems to go by. Especially trying to get the the 12 week part, so I can breath a sigh of relief and know we’re through the most worrying phase. I think just getting to the ultrasound will really help, but everyday I think about it it feels like a month has gone by!
I’m having some really odd sensory stuff happen now, that’s really just started in the last week. It started with an extraordinary sense of smell – even someone just opening up a sandwich across a room is detectable, along with perfume, aftershave and sadly for my commute, bad breath. This then progressed to cravings, which started with anything fresh, and have now developed over the last few days into only being able to stomach pineapples, bread, cheese and yogurt. And small amounts of chocolate. Cooking is starting to get harder now too, as smells and the thought of foods makes me feel really nauseus.
Cooking roast today was particularly tricky, as I couldn’t handle the thought of the vegetarian nut roast we usually have, and by the time I’d finished preparing and cooking the veg, the only thing I could eat was a few roast spuds. Didn’t put Baby Dad off though, he finished off his giant stuffed Yorkshire with no problems 
Other than the nausea, it’s all going well. I am anxious how the growing nausea will affect my work, as I currently have a very hectic consultancy job that involves lots and lots of face to face meetings, with little time for breaks or food hunting. I shall report back.
We noticed a very small but visible bump this weekend in the photos we’ve been taking. That could be down to the rather amazing amount of chocolate I managed to pack away during weeks 5-7 though
