Heartbeat

We had a midwife appointment on Monday morning where we got to hear the heartbeat of the baby which was wonderful. My blood pressure was taken and it's very low - in your face NHS/Daily Mail who claim all overweight women will die of fatness/etc. whilst pregnant. My v low blood pressure could well explain though why I'm so bloody knackered all the time - and apparently this is only going to get worse. I suppose I ought to break out the ciggies & coffee then! ;-)

I rode on Saturday which was wonderful, V and I went on one of our favourite rides through the hills and local villages which includes a mile long windy gallop up a hill through the woods. The horses went like lightening and I lost a stirrup which was slightly scary but all good fun. Clip-clopping down the road and gabbing about rubbish a man on a bicycle passed us and said "morning girls" - which made us dissolve in to giggles. "Girls?" - it's been a while since anyone has referred to me as a "girl"! :-)
