Creeping in with my 34 week pregnancy diary mere minutes before the deadline (Monday is my “new pregnancy week” day and it’s ten to midnight) and I must warn you from the start that this is a short-but-sweet entry. For two reasons. Firstly, I have moved house – again! – and the holiday let I’m in this time has even slower internet than the last one. It’s simply outrageous – I don’t think I’m on anything faster than dial-up speed, so trying to write a blog post and upload an image for it takes about five years.

Secondly, after a Week 33 of everyone telling me how well I looked and me (kind of smugly, I’ll admit) going on about how I hadn’t really had any particularly nasty pregnancy “side effects”, I managed to catch a bad cold and have spent the last couple of days in bed. So really, I’m postponing this week’s diary with the intent of writing about my thoughts over the next week. Hopefully the internet will perk up once it stops raining. Or something. Please send faster-internet-vibes my way!
