A little whale

From Bump photos and other

At the gym, first time in 6 months feeling like a little whale with my black maternity swimsuit (Maria's POV)

19 weeks in the mummyland called Crouch End

19 weeks and more baby kicks, new flat, more boxes, two sunny balconies and beautiful neighbours.

It’s been almost a week in our new improved flat and loving it to bits. There are still boxes everywhere, as we realised we cannot really unpack unless we buy more furniture to put the stuff in (i.e. wardrobes, bathroom cabinets, bookcases), but who cares? The boxes cannot be seen from the balcony whilst I am enjoying my very cold and ultimately refreshing frappé.

I had my first social outing yesterday with people from my old work. Some of them didn’t know I was pregnant and didn’t even guess! LOL I thought that my bump is sticking out much more now and considering I was always the thin one, they would guess straight away (strangers get up for me on the tube now, surely it’s quite visible now). Not only they didn’t but also commented on how small my bump is! And then I spend the whole ride home wondering if my baby is too small for 5 months. Hmmm

Anyway, it was nice going out even though I was very tired yesterday. I had two nice fake cocktails and lovely to see everyone. Left at 21:00, but oh-well ;)
