Pregnant - with a tadpole
So, as I mentioned, I'm pregnant. To be precise I'm 3 months pregnant (or as the books put it - 13 weeks). This means the baby (Tadpole) is now about 7.5cm long and is due in the middle of April. The child has been nicknamed 'tadpole' after it's first early scan- where it had a tail. The tail has luckily disappeared and it is beginning to look more baby shaped. Tails are normal. Life is not echoing some freaky role play game.
In fact, life is remarkably normal. I have felt very little sickness and haven't been sick yet. I am feeling tired and a bit moody and this is why I've been a little insular in the last month or so. I've not notably changed size yet, but should start showing soon.
The scans are too early to tell what gender Tadpole is going to be, but I can't wait to find out. Not that I really mind what gender it is. I really hope that tadpole won't be too restricted by its gender. I will be very happy if my little girl becomes passionate about football or my little boy takes up baking. What I really don't like is refering to tadpole as 'it'. I don't want to feel like a 'thing' is growing inside me. I want 'it' to be a human and so I want to be able to refer to 'it' as 'him' or 'her'.
It is a wierd, exciting, scarey time in my life.

Big life changes
It's amazing - you spend years on this thing documenting not very much, and then when real life happens you are too busy to mention it.
Anyway, I got married and now I'm up the duff!!!
I will elaborate when I'm not quite so tired

Free food
Last Sunday I went out with Dan's family on a guided forage - an inspired present from Dan's mum. It was great. We found Rock samphire (carroty herb) Sea Beet (Spinache-like leaf - great in salad) Alexanders - celery like stems, sea lettuce (green edible seaweed) and several kinds of mushroom.
I have now cooked and eaten everything and I loved it. It was totally great. Amazing how much free food there is out there.

Sick day
Taken my first day off work (due to illness) in 8 years.
I almost lost my voice yesterday and, although it felt a bit better today, I knew that 6 hours at the front of the classroom would probably hurt my vocal chords lots, so I've been mooching quietly around the house all day reading Phillip Pullman's the subtle knife and eating soft food.
Current Mood: sorry for myself

Back to life - back to reality- back to the here and now - Oh yeah!
On the plus side - Livejournal appears to be working again.
On the minus side - I've got a horrible snotty cold.
I hope you are all well.

[Link] | Thanks for all your advice and comments about weddings. My head is feeling in a slightly better place about the whole thing now. Talking to my Mum has also really helped.
So, last lesson of the year today. We played games and had some fun. I'll just get through the students exams and Dan's end of term show (he's playing guitar in a school production of Grease all this week), and then I'll get down to planning things.
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) veeski let me know when yours is, because I wouldn't want us to clash.

What makes a good wedding?
I'm still over the moon to be marrying Rarg, but I'm now feeling daunted about organising the 'special day'. Obviously (because it's us) it won't be a very traditional day, but I can't figure out what will be different about it. I'm also not keen on getting out a second mortgage for it, so it will be on a manageable budget. I'm having trouble picturing the perfect day. I know every woman is supposed to have been planning her special day since she was 6, but I'm obviously not Bridget Jones enough to have got it down to any detail. Therefore I'd be grateful for any advice going. Please answer as many of these questions as you want to:
anyone who has ever been to a wedding
Can you tell me about a wedding you really enjoyed? What did you like about it?
What is the most tedious part of going to someone else's wedding?
Do you think present lists are useful or boring?
Do you think dancing is an important part of a wedding?
How would you feel if there was music you didn't like?
What's the worst disaster you've ever seen at a wedding?
Would you object to helping out instead of buying a present?
Do you hate or enjoy dressing up?
Anyone who has got married
What was the best thing about your special day (other than the fact that you got to marry someone you love - that's a given - but what did you most enjoy about the day itself)?
Have you got any good tips?
Was there anything in hindsight you would have done differently?
Was there anything you spent money on, that, in hindsight, was pointless?
What was the biggest headache?
Did you have a professional photographer and how do you feel about the photos?
Current Mood:  confused
