Lots of lovely news!

23 weeks today! One week til viability! Hooray! I have lots of lovely news... firstly, my lovely James proposed :) he took me out on a pedalo in the harbour in Corfu and a speedboat brought over the ring followed by champagne on the beach (only a sip for me) we spent a week in Corfu and it was over 40c every day but it was brilliant to get away for a week and see James relaxed and happy. We went on a few boat trips and had dinner out a few times, lovely relaxed week! 

In pregnancy related news, I feel GREAT!! Tilly is kicking all day long and I don't feel tired or ill anymore :) and no bleeds for 8 weeks! Hooray! 

Life will be full of wedding fairs, baby shopping and ante natal classes from now on! And sewing as I got myself a bargain sewing machine and plan to make stuff for babykins :)

Only bad news was that I lost another job, my boss was sneaky about it and simply stopped giving me hours though she needed someone else. Nevermind, her loss!

I shall try to write more blogs soon, but with no scans til September I'm at a loss for new info! 

Adios for now! x

Spoilt mummy and baby!

Tilly and I are becoming very spoilt. Tilly now has her very own steiff bear and lots of clothes. Her lovely nana has bought her a few gorgeous little purple bits and some rather snazzy socks!
There's still so so much to buy and I think it's about time I made a list!
Also lovely James has told me were going on a mini break to Brighton in a few weeks after our holiday! Erm how spoilt am I?! Yay!!! Love my boyfriend :)

She's a tiddler! 20week scan.

I'm finally over half way! Let the countdown begin!!! I had my 20 week scan on Friday and it was lovely :) got to see my lovely baby for a full half an hour and watch her have a little dance! Only downside was that she's measuring quite small for now but I've been reassured she can still catch up and be a fatty :)
I also have a low lying placenta which explains the bleeds and means I have to have an extra scan at 34 weeks to check where it is and check her growth too hopefully! If it hasn't moved, I will most likely be booked in for a c section but hey, baby's health comes first!!!

DIO 2012

About two weeks ago I joined a group on Facebook called Due in October 2012. It's a group of about 250 women aged between 19 and early 40s, there are 1st time mums and mums expecting their 10th so it's a real mixed bag. Nothing is off limits, we talk about incontinence, babygros, miscarriages, poo and cats. I can honestly say I haven't felt lonely since joining and have made some lovely friends. There are some very sad times and horrible scares but mainly it's the best thing ever for an expectant mum! I feel like I can ask them anything, even unrelated to baby and I'm super happy! It's like a little family :)

Genetics

Last night I finally met James' extended family for the first time at a BBQ. Unfortunately I'm full of cold at the moment so wasn't feeling magical!
Sadly james' great nan passed away last month and her funeral is on wednesday so they were discussing her eulogy. Lovely James "doesn't do" that sort of talk so I was left there listening ( I never met his great nan) ao occupied myself with staring at James' female relatives and wondering which of their traits our daughter would inherent... This wasn't a stressful task as they're all beautiful and don't seem to age! Hooray!! There's a high chance my baby will be beautiful too as :)

Feel yuck today and James is in a grump. Happy bank holiday woo... :;
