7 weeks

Its been a good week. I just get so tired at time and just cant rest with girls. So that's a bit tough at times.

With all my pregnancies it so amazes me that a tiny little human, smaller than a Smartie can suck the life out a adult like myself.  How on earth can I get so tired to grow something so small, he-he !!! But yeah, it's actually the hormone relaxin that's the culprit behind it all. 

During pregnancy, the busy placenta produces a hormone called relaxin that helps your whole body physically become a bit looser. You need to seriously increase your flexibility down in your fetus's living quarters because, during pregnancy, your uterus grows from about the size of a tennis ball to the size of a beach ball. Relaxin relaxes the intrauterine ligaments, allowing the uterus and pelvis to expand. Relaxin also relaxes other parts of your body, like your arteries, which have to accommodate a much higher blood volume without sending your blood pressure through the roof. Your musculoskeletal system also loosens up, giving you more flexible joints and more curvature in the back to prepare for carrying and delivering a baby.

I do think it's an awesome hormone with a very important function I just wish it didn't make me feel like Dopy :)   

We had great fun doing this photo in freezing weather and August winds. Idea was for all 3 girls to throw Smarties up in the air, but Lily was the only one that did it on "three" :)
