Right I will try and post the long post that I had ready yesterday before the network at work crashed. Moral of that story, ALWAYS copy and paste long posts! It will never be the same though lol!
Well as mentioned I am having a boy. And I am more than pleased for knowing now. I was convinced I was having a girl, but deep down I wanted a boy. I think, even though I hate to admit it, I would have had an initial feeling of disappointment if the sonographer had told me it was a girl. That sounds horrible doesn't it. Just as long as they are healthy is all that really mattered though! The smile was not wiped off my face all day, it was huge and even working until midnight didn't bother me!
It was definitely obviously a boy, I didn't need the sonographer to tell me that. He was proud ha! And DP is now thinking of all the toys he gets to play with. After having a daughter I think he is really proud of himself that he can give a boy too! He wrote on my FB status 'He shoots, he scores. C'mon the Y chromosome.:-D' HAHA!
Anyway as i mentioned on previous post, I have an anterior placenta which will be why I am only feeling movement lower down and nothing up top. He looked so snug in there with the placenta there! However I am having to go back on Tuesday as he wasn't laying in the right position for her to get the right spinal measurement she needed. She told me to go for a wee during the scan, see if that moved him. even though I had drank a massive amount of water before the scan, I barely leaked! Probably the weather, it was so warm and I was on my feet all day! She even told me to go for a quick walk, but me and DP didn't have time as we both had to get to work. So we just rebooked for Tuesday. i am taking my mum to this scan though, I think it would be lovely for her to see him.
The SECOND i got out of the hospital he was wriggling around down low like a good one! But getting to hospital was one hell of a nightmare! My appointment was at 4pm, got on the first of two buses at half 3 (was running late but had time to get there) anyway. Got off the first bus and realised that I had forgotten my notes. RAN to the nearest taxi rank to get a taxi home and then up to the hospital and the first taxi was in FIVE MINUTES. I was panicking and burst into tears! And DP wasn't been that sympathetic. I was there thinking we are going to miss it, and I was a mess. when I was in tears though DP did fix up and help me bless him! But because we had to get a taxi to collect my notes, we couldn't afford a picture, which made me even more of a mess! Anyway, got there to the hospital, literally my bum touched the seat in the waiting area and I got called in, I didn't even have time to reach for DPs knee! This was all in half an hour! ha! We got there though. and after all this, the sonographer STILL gave us a picture :) Just the one though! When I go for next scan, going to get some more and pay for them then as you get a few more than one!
Oh but it's a boy! :o She dated me back to my original dates as I was small for 20+5 so I was put back to 19+6 and due on the 20th again! Which means I think I am all alone on the 20th seat now!! I knew the dating scan was wrong!
ANYWAY onto personals now, enough about me, but that was my extremely eventful day yesterday
MrsHuxtable, I know what you mean about the lonliness, I don't know many people around here even though I grew up here!! And especially non my age and pregnant. I am going to different groups like Mother and Baby, I have being to my local sure start centre to see what they have on offer there and they are great. Lets you meet other new mums. It would probably be better for when you are nearer to your due date. Me and DP have decided we can't afford NCT antenatal classes and the woman for my area has not being back in touch with regard to discounts :( They might even offer pregnancy groups at the centre. Sorry that you have being feeling so shitty too, I don't know what to suggest really, I am sure you are worn out!
Sugarkane How exciting is that! I love dogs and like monkey, I am allergic to cats (all cats) but my dog allergy does not stop me liking dogs though :)
Queenfee thats lovely :) I want to go to the circus now though!
