Phew!

Glad that's over with. Ok, as you know, I had my neucal scan. It went really well!!! I'm so relieved. I was so nervous going in there. And the sonographer was really lovely. She answered all our questions. She could see how nervous I was so the first thing she showed me was the heartbeat. There it was beating away. 148 beats per minuted. And (lets just call bub's a he for now) he was wriggling about like crazy. He even had the hicups at one stage and was jumping up and down. It was so cute. Sucking on his hands. hehehe. But everytime he was in a good position for a measurement, he'd roll over onto his side. Cheeky or what? She finally got three decent measurements. But this was after I had to go out for a walk and have something to eat and drink. I feel like I can relax and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy now. I feel so much happier. I'm getting more excited. Yay!!! Oh, and my weeks tick over on Mondays now instead of Tuesdays. So I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow!! I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl. I'm gonna shout it from the roof tops. Yay!! Unfortunately they only gave me on piccy. I'll post it here for you. It's the front veiw, so he looks like an alien. Lol!

                                           Here he/she is. Front alien veiw. This was one of the
                                                            rare monents he/she was still.

Nervousness

Ok, I don't even know if I spelt that right:P But hey.
Anyway, tomorrow is "S" day, scan day. Nervous? Hell yes. It's been on my mind for weeks. I know it's all going to be ok. I just haven't had a good run with pregnancy and scans. As you all know. I have no reason to worry. I haven't had any issues. Except for the weekend just gone. I had a bit of spotting on the toilet paper, and talk about freak! I was straight of to the doctors. He had a feel around and said it all felt normal and when I got back home I checked again and there wasn't anymore. Just old blood. Phew! And there was no cramping or pain of any kind either. I'm just a worry wort. There's no reason the pregnancy shouldn't go perfectly. I was saying to someone the other day, "you watch, all this worry and stress and I'll end up having the most normal pregnancy ever". " So normal, it'll be textbook". Let's hope so.
Well, wish me luck. I'll have piccys to post soon.

Milestone

I made it! Twelve weeks. Phew! Now I just have to get past the NT scan next Friday. For those of you not sure what an NT scan is, NT is short for Neucal Translucency. It's where they measure the fold in the back of bub's neck and use the results of a blood test etc (not exactly sure how they figure it out)  to determine the risk of downs syndrome and other chromasomal disorders. I'm not nervous about the results. I'm more just nervous about the scan itself. I just won't be able to breath a sigh of relief till I see that heartbeat on the screen. But, like I keep telling myself, there's no reason this pregnancy shouldn't go perfectly. I just keep telling myself that and it somehow puts my mind at ease. Well, for a little while. I just always have so much going through my head. So much to worry about. I really need to stop it. I haven't bought any baby stuff yet either. I'm going to wait this time. Not that I need anything, because I don't really. I still have all the stuff from my first pregnancy. There are really only a few things that I don't have. Pram, nappies, creams, lotions etc, breast pads, bla bla bla. Just little things. My Mum want's to buy my pram, and she's also making the nappies for me, so I don't have to worry about those. And the rest is easy.
I actually started looking at nursery ideas the other day too. There are some gorgeous one's out there, but also some way too over the top. I have some simple ideas. I'm not allowed to paint so hubby has volunteered to do it. Hey, who am I to argue:P He can go for it. He has to move his computer to the other end of the house to the spare room first. So we have to get a smaller computer desk. ugh. Always something. But I'm not having bub down there when he or she could be straight across the hall from us. So, out goes hubby's precious computer. He doesn't mind. It's just one of those things that has to be done. Among many others.

Well here's a piccy of my bump at three months. Hehehe. It's mostly me though. But I look like I'm six months already.
Till next time
