Lovely title Shabs! I just knew you wouldn't drop the baton!!
What you said about Dan and lewis looking like your dh and Gareth - I imagine it a bit like Life on Mars in that the picture is the same people but in a timewarp!
Lottie, are you planning anything new and exciting for your hair? Or does it just deserve a decent cut? I really ought to consider getting mine done soon, seeing as it's been 8 months now since a pair of scissors went near it ......actually, that's quite normal for me, so I don't know why I added the shock emoticon
My friend went through Eris PM report and emailed me his "translation" and opinion. I basically pretty much got it right, what I thought it was saying. There were numerous clots in the placenta, of varying ages and sizes. It would seem that they had hindered eris' growth, hence her being only 5lb 13oz. However, there was one thing he couldn't answer for me and that was whether the clots would have caused any long-term damage or brain damage had there not been an acute episode that killed her. I think he was basically saying it was possible, but that without further info on the brain then he couldn't say. He reckons I could question the pathologist further but I don't feel it is necesary. I just kind of wanted to know. He did make me laugh a bit though. I'd asked him why the pathologist would have noted that Eris had "full cheeks". I wondered if it was possibly a sign of something like Downs. But my friend said she just had chubby cheeks, and that the pathologists have to comment on anything they notice and that if Eris had had a big nose the report could just as easily have said "she has a big nose"!!
Anyway, other stuff. Registered the pregnancy with my GP today. Am a bit confused cos my bereavement counsellor (at the hospital) said he (my GP) could refer me to the EPU for an early scan. But my GP said the EPU only see people for pain and/or bleeding. So he has just requested I get an early scan in the normal US dept. However, he did say that if I am really concerned I could always call the EPU myslef and claim severe pain or bleeding. Have discussed with dp and I think I might just call EPU tomorrow and explain my situation honestly and see if they can see me next week. I just hope my honesty doesn't work against me!
Went to see Sex and the City last night. Nwver really watched the series much, but I really enjoyed the film. A good girl-power giggle-a-minute kind of film.
Right, am off to tidy up, get children to bed and veg out in front of TV.
Oh, one last thing. I have put on 7lb since before my holiday - could it be twins???? My dad is one of identical twins, dp is one of triplets (he is an identical twin and the third boy, I think, was fraternal {he was, sadly, still born)) and my eldest brother was a fraternal twin (his sister, our sister, was deprived of oxygen at birth and died just before their 4th birthday, about 2 weeks before I was born. I know its only the fraternals that are hereditary, but quite a lot of it in the family. And 7lbs FGS!!!!! Either twins, or I've just eaten far too many delicious Greek dishes!
