Hi all, it has been a while, so just spent an age catching up on all your news! Great news frog on the scan!
Relieved to hear others still worrying about weight and bumps, I also seem to still be piling on the kgs, and although I had a bump three weeks ago, it seems to have gone, or fallen down and around into my bum. Have also progressed another bra size ... sigh.
I had my 16 wk appointment today (hence exicted and back on here!). Midwife was usual off-hand self, didn't get weighed but basically said if I started looking really fat she'd tell me! She also had a spectacular fail with the Doppler; she just got it on the belly and the battery died. Horrified as dh had taken the morning off just to hear a heartbeat! So, long story short, decided to head to the antenatal clinic in the hospital instead and had a lovely midwife (also preggers and due on the 17th Sept...wonder if she's here?) who did a great Doppler, talked me through everything we could hear. It was so amazing to hear the little heartbeat chugging away at around 150-57bpm. Also videoed the whole thing so dh can hear tonight!
On the shopping front, haven't bought a thing (charity shop moses basket and babygrow's don't count, they were both only £2!). Don't plan on getting anything till post 20 weeks, and as little as possible until after the birth. Am spending my time browsing websites and baby shops so when the time comes I know what I'm after ... and it prolongs the excitement.
Sorry ... bit long!
