Week 17

Finally, Im starting to bloom!!!
This is the stage when any pregnant woman can actually ENJOY pregnancy. So nice to be back to some sort of normality and baby started kicking!!! When carrying Son No.1 it took longer to feel baby movements, this time round it happened earlier like it said in Ready Stead Baby!!!
Recording still takes up most of my time and I travel to the Substation Recording Studio at Rosyth 2 to 3 times a week (http://www.substationstudio.net/) to work with our producer Michael Brenan. Michael is ace, meticulous when it comes to sounds and song structure and arrangement. By the end of the session, I feel so tired listenting to the same track for like...zillionth time !!! but Michael doesn't seem to care, after I go back home, he would still work on the track for another 2-3-4 hours!!! How does he do it????

Week 16

This week has finally brought good news!!! Sickness is subsiding and I am starting to feel better. Finally!!! I forgot how great it feels when you are not puking or nauseous. Energy level is up and I'm buzzing around multitasking as usual. You see, our band is not just a hobby, it's a full time commitment that requires a lot of attention and hard work. Gone are the days when you could just record your demo, knock on the doors of recording studios or agents and wait to be discovered. Now, with technology so advanced the competition is immense. My whole life is now one big update: Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, the bands official website, Blogger, and a few Russian sites. Before the interraction was limited to to live gigs and signing autographs. Now, online interraction is taking over. Updates have to be interesting, funny and engaging. Writing about trivia everyday things like what we had for breakfast is boring. Or maybe it's not??? Who knows? Our lives are becoming more accessible, we want to know and share more details....I love reading in mags how "our impeccable source reported" that a particular A-list celebrity did this and said that. I always wonder who this "impeccable source" is??? I guess we will never know.
Anyway, what do I have for breakfast these days? A banana and cheese sandwhich. Brown bread, not toasted. Banana and cheese combination sounds crazy yet tastes nice.

Week 15

No news.
I'm still feeling pretty awful and trying to function as normal as possible...which at times is virtually impossible.
How can I cope??? Sickenss is so exhausting....will I be fit for live gigs???
This is the trimester when any pregnant woman is supposedly blooming and looking her best...damn, you books!!!!
First time pregnant, Husband bought me a pregnancy book written by Americans and adapted for British readers, one of the recommendations for husbands was "to buy a ticket and take your pregnant wife to a show"...we couldn't stop laughing. Going to see a "show" is the last thing on my mind....
Who writes these books??
