Parish Walk Training Diary

Thank goodness the first weeks of pregnancy are over. I was feeling so down, so sad about everything. With the first pregnancy, I felt emotional every now and then and I’d just have a good cry and immediately feel better. But with this one, I haven’t felt like crying - just sad about…everything. Maybe when you already have one baby to look after, you don’t have time to think about how you’re feeling yourself so it all gets bottled up.

I do feel much better now and although I’m not up to doing any training, at least I’ve got the energy to take the baby out for walks again. I took her onto the beach for her first play in the sand and for a paddle. She absolutely loved kicking her feet in the water and got excited whenever a wave came. As for the expanse of beach…what an amazing sight for a baby who’s just learnt how to crawl: wide, flat surface with no obstacles. Heaven!
