HeyHo Ladies
Long time no speaketh, but as ski quite rightly states, I've been inundated with visitors, cleaning for impending visitors and work. In short life sucks, but I'll just carry on and get on with it. What was this nonsense about the 2nd trimester filling you with energy and making you bloom? So far I'm f*cked, spotty and look like a lepper .
Hello to all new Deli customers ! Hope t'others have been keeping you from menkulling too much and have been the tower of support they were to me in the early weeks and months!
Individual mucho congrats to ski and rots obviously, and super pushes to iggs since it sounds like you may be ready to pop!
muser we did tell people after the 12 week scan, but that backfired a bit as we then had not so happy results from the downs screening just a few days after we made "the announcement" which left things difficult till we'd had the amnio results back. So my advice is if you're having the screening wait for those results to come back too. Makes life much easier!
All is well here, had our anomaly 20 weeks scan, and then a private one done at 21 weeks - both of which came back normal, which was nice! Best of all we got an early 3d scan done when she was checking for cleft palate, so we have a nice pic of what I would say looks a bit like a little old man slapping himself in the face. Nonetheless, it is still lovely to put an actual face to what has so far been just a 2d outline, so I'm much looking forward to our proper 3d scan at 27 weeks!
Got my Doppler scan this Friday to make sure no early symptoms of pre-eclampsia - don't know if that'll be with a consultant or just a trained sonographer, so we'll wait and see. Good job visitors have gone, otherwise I might have got mis-diagnosed I'm sure!
Been looking at nursery furniture, is it me or is M&P stuff just overpriced for what it is? I've finally settled on some nice stuff from John Lewis after me and my sister quality controlled it in the shop (ie. tried hanging off it, pulling it apart and kicking it lots) and it seemed to hold up very well, so I'm hoping to order that this week. We'll have to leave it flat packed for now though since the room still needs to be decorated.
Other than that I think the only other major bit of kit we need to get is breast pump and accessories, and after that it's just clothes and other such niceties - oh, and cot bedding, must add that to the list!
Got to say, finding it much harder to roll over in bed now thought I've still not got the hang of this left side sleeping. OH has been pestering me like poo about it, so before I lost my cool over it all I asked our private consultant what her thoughts were - she said that my body would know when to move so I should listen to it then and not worry about it otherwise. So I shall do that. It's bad enough not getting enough sleep cos you're pissing 3 times a night let alone because you can't get to sleep because you keep waking thinking "argh! i'm not on my left, I've killed the baybee".
Other joy to report is it appears baby likes playing with my sciatic nerve - he keeps laying on it causing the worst pins and needles ever! Luckily if I just poke the wodge a bit it eases up so no major problems to report apart from me be a whiny moo!
Stupidest preggo moment this week - me to OH "OMG I can't believe that plane is so noisy, I could go into spontaneous labour you know!" - we were at an airshow.
Mushiness and slaps to all!
