Sometimes I'm a bit tired doing it too ;-)

But to be honest (despite my complaints on Twitter) I've barely noticed being pregnant this time around. In part because I'm busy chasing after a toddler, in part because I have an anterior placenta which up until recently was muffling all baby movement and in part because I've been so busy. Other than the initial morning sickness and dealing with the heat lately it's been a very easy pregnancy for me (famous last words?)

As for blogging and being a mum that can be hard. Particularly because up until now I'd been working 20 hours a week and there was a nasty period where I worked 40 hours a week all while looking after a toddler. It would be a lie to say that certain things aren't compromised. The first thing to go is the housework. There are periods where I do the absolute minimum and let everything else go. And I do let the toddler watch more TV than I'm happy with.

But the things that do work are that my daughter being nearly three can participate in most housework type tasks. She can help me do the dishes, or cook lunch or hang out the washing. Which makes a big difference to getting things done. I'm a multi-tasker. I tidy up while playing hide-and-seek, I take photos while watching her play and I have an affair with my iphone while getting to other things.

Blogging is usually reserved for naptime or nighttime. And having a husband who takes the toddler out for big stretches on the weekend helps with getting other projects done.

I think I'll be in for a very rude shock when the baby comes along! Life is a whole lot easier with a toddler!
