Attempt #6 to write something bland which won't upset anyone, except possibly 2lazy4linux 'cos he worries.

1. I've had a shitty week. I'm not explaining it. I'd rather people didn't comment on this point, but I needed to say that I've had a really shitty week. (In fact, I'm going to be annoying and remove commenting as an option. Aren't I horrid?)
2. I still have a headache.
3. I have to go to the midwife and lie my ass off about how I'm feeling. If I open up, then I will be there for hours and then put on some "keep an eye on" list. I don't want that, so I'm going to put a Joker-esque smile on my face and lie, lie, lie.
4. My BP is through the roof. I've eaten loads of inappropriate things. I feel 'off'. I expect that there will be mutterings of pre-eclampsia.
5. It is raining heavily and I am taking the bus to the midwife as well as a nice long walk when I get off it. (My perception of what is a short walk has radically changed in the last few weeks.) All the umbrellas in the house appear to have run off to Timbuktu in an effort to avoid having to do any work.

I should go. Got to be there in 45 mins. Maybe the walk will help. At least it's English rain (vertical) rather than Scottish rain (horizontal)....

Speck is fine, apart from being the wrong way up. If he's still breech in two weeks then they'll try and turn him. That should be fun. My tummy has grown lots again, but some of that could be due to his odd position.

I'm physically fine. Knackered from all this walking but apparently my body copes better with stress than my mind does.

I am way more anxious than the average bear, but after a long discussion about the likelihood of stillbirth, Edwards, Turners, me doing something wrong etc, I feel slightly better and I'm not going on any sort of list. I'll probably request continuous foetal monitoring during labour despite the fact that it always hurts me. What's a bit more pain versus quick intervention if required? With the way I'm feeling just now, I'm probably not going to have much energy to move around during labour as I originally wanted, so if I'm going to be curled up on the bed (sobbing, no doubt) anyway, then I might as well get hooked up.

And now it's time for lunch followed swiftly by a fun DVD.
