Ecstatic that I won 4 tickets to the Heineken Cup Final on Sunday - Go WASPS!

I have mostly been running to the loo this weekend as a little someone appears to be squashing my bladder at the most inappropriate times.

My belly is growing, an odd sensation - particularly when I catch my reflection in the mirror (usually on the way to the loo) - this usually is followed by a 'oh yes, I am pregnant' moment.

I have my first appointment with my midwife on Wednesday and am dreading having a blood test. People find it hard to believe that a) this scares me and b) that I have never had one. Well I haven't needed one before. Scared.

I watched 'Adrift' on Saturday evening and despite being based upon true events, it really is a disturbing concept for a movie. I watched it but didn't really like it.

I caught some of Eurovision, ridiculous as per usual but I didn't get to see the UK entry, thankfully. I actually really liked the Irish song and it would have been so much better if the singer could actually, well, sing. Beautiful melody but it came last - we could have given them deux points too and we didn't.. boo to UK voters! ;o)

Anyway, enough jibba jabba - I have blueberries to eat!

I haven't ever had a blood test either, to my recollection anyway. I'm terrified of them too. As a result I've never given blood, which I probably should, but given a tendency to faint when needles are injected into me, I don't think I will.

It's weird, up until 18 I was never worried about injections, but then I fainted when I had my flu jab, and ever since, I always pass out!

I know, so strange. This kind of thing would never phase me but now I am a total wreck at the thought of needles!

[You'll be fine] You've nothing to worry about with the blood test. Needles hurt a veeery small amount for less than a second, and that is it.
The drawing out of a bit of blood doesn't hurt, and in a way, it is cool in a sciencey way.

hey, once you've had one done it will all be fine and you'll see that it doesn't hurt. Its a fear of the unknown, I'm terrified at the thought that I may, one day have a filling as I've never had one before and it sounds scary when I'm sure, that in reality its nothing! See? (I think I've confused myself there!)

I was always scared of wasps. Until I actually got stung by one. It was dead, and I trod on it and got stung. It wasn't such a big deal, and now I can handle them.

Unless they're in a massive swarm - I have a phobia of swarming things.
