Succubus

Well 9 weeks,

"If extreme mood swings leave you feeling like a drama queen this week, you're not alone. Hormonal fluctuations are treating your emotions like a yo-yo now. One minute you feel weepy and the next you're laughing harder than you've ever laughed before. Take comfort in knowing that those same volatile hormones are helping your baby grow. In fact, this week marks the first time your baby looks almost human. He has all the standard body parts in place now — though they're not yet formed to perfection."

This is true in some ways. I've not been possessed by the spirit of the snarling woman, my moods appear to be staying fairly temperate but I could cry. A lot.
But man this week I just feel awful. Nothing fits, I'm wearing trousers a size too big for me which are too short which are the only things that fit right now as I'm not big enough for maternity clothes yet. My hair is lank and greasy and I've not been able to do my roots for weeks. I'm tired, so tired, different to being exhausted from doing things this is just weird and my skin looks grey all the time.

I keep getting told it'll get better and the hormones will calm down a little, at least enough for me to feel a bit more human! Hurrah! Roll on that day!

Busy weekend last weekend spent with my parents who helped up clean out the attic in preparation for insulating. Something we definitely need come the winter as we won't be able to afford to have the heating on for more than 5 minutes it seems! It was a dirty job and I can't believe how much junk the people before us left. We did find some old Liverpool Echo newspapers from November 5th 1938 though which were amazing to read through. News on that day, the persecution of Jewish people in Nazi Germany who were being forced to give away all their money and possessions to the Reich and Everton beating Middlesborough 4-0 to be 2nd in the table. Man U were firmly on the bottom ha ha! It was scary reading about the news from Germany though, like that made it become real rather than something you read about (even though I know it's very very real and could not and should never be denied).

I'm going to keep them and put them back up in the attic with an Echo and Daily post from today as well. Maybe someone else will find them in 70 years and care enough to enjoy it.

I really should get on with my research in to who owned my house through the years. it'd be nice to know who bought the Echo for November 5th 1938 :)
