Thinking about Bella’s spine snapping when she was pregnant with her vampire baby in Breaking Dawn, and now I understand why that happened

Every morning I wake up not knowing what pain I’ll get
It’s like my body saying “wake up babe, new pregnancy symptom just dropped”

Was telling the husband that I found it strange that mums are expected to take care of their mental, emotional & physical health, eat healthy & get vaccinated - and the other parent isn’t even *asked* to get vaccinated before the baby is born?
Doesn’t make sense to me

Why Are Some Women Training for Pregnancy Like It’s a Marathon?
A growing legion of “zero trimester” influencers are convincing followers that healthy pregnancies are a choice—and that raw milk, watching sunsets, and pricey specialized courses can help.

Completed Austen's 'Persuasion'
Anne & Capt Wentworth's relationship felt more realistic than P&P, but then they're older & more mature. Thought it was great that she felt Mr Elliot was sus but no one could see it
Was not expecting Austen to call someone a dick though

Got a new body pillow cos the Butterfly pregnancy one doesn’t work (it’s overrated & expensive), and the cat is pissed cos it takes up her space in the middle of the bed
Had to steal it back from the husband last night cos it’s that good, recommended for all body types

Husband and I realised after dinner that he mistakenly put on my Uniqlo cotton shorts this morning
He wore them to do HIIT and then went for a 3 km run cos “they’re very comfortable”
They were my favourite shorts until my bump got too big 😑

I should copy the husband’s drama queen behaviour more often
He’ll tell people “my wife woke me up at 2am cos she had a headache”
I should’ve added “that was after I threw up 3 times before bed while 20 weeks pregnant during a heatwave”
Now I’m wondering why I didn’t call the midwife hotline then

My late mum never hid from us her complicated feelings about motherhood, which my dad was (& still is) unable to understand
Might not be the best book for a first time mother as it can get dark, but I liked how it covered the good, the bad, and the ugly

I’m halfway through ‘The Rose Field’ and it’s not going great, given my current situation and shitty attention span
Feels like Pullman ignored all his editor’s suggestions cos there’s too many plot diversions, too many unnecessary side characters, the story is draggy af and feels pointless

If you tell me that you plan to drop serious money on the Lego Minas Tirith when it’s released, then ask me who is Gondolin, and then get surprised when I tell you there’s a book on the Fall of Gondolin, I’m gonna look at you like that
