Hi peeps!
Well done tired on a great 20-week scan! Yay!
Suddenly I feel like time is really beginning to pick up pace. It was really odd early in the pregnancy. Every day that went by was a big 'Yes!' but now the weeks are going by quickly! Eeek!
This week has been really busy. Yesterday went to London (knackering!) Told boss I'm preggers with twins and although it took a good while for it to sink in he reacted really well in the end, saying everything I needed him to say (the main thing being that he'll apply to our funding council to extend my contract rather than replace me during maternity leave - PHEW!). He kept saying how delighted he was for us, and phoned me again today to say it again! Because work is really, really important to me, clearing it with him was a really big hurdle and in some way it has made the pregnancy seem real now. Just got to announce it on FB and the whole world will know!!
Today I spent four blinkin' hours at the hospital! I had a series of appointments in the high risk clinic, where I have a lovely new midwife and two really good consultants, one looking at my health and the other looking at the babies. Got to hear their heartbeats, which was really great! :-) One consultant will write to the hospital where I had my uterine surgery 15yrs ago to find out what exactly happened. If it was a puncture then I will be having a c-section no question, as there's a big risk of the uterus tearing during normal delivery and that is, I'm told, Not A Good Thing. But if not then she said I can give normal birth a go. Actually I'd come round to the idea of a c-section, but nevermind!
Oooh and in other news I got some brilliant dark grey skinny cords from H&M Mama with a big belly-warmer for my growing bump (which has suddenly got huge!).
Hope everyone's doing well
