Just a quick update to let you all know… I’m an Auntie again! Carly had baby Brandon yesterday afternoon at about 15.45 pm and he weighed in at 7 lb 7! He’s absolutely gorgeous and they’re both doing really well… Should be home tomorrow. Here’s a pic, and a random one of me, Ste and Abigail all ready for the christening last Sunday!
See ya XxXxX
I’ve had my first scan today!!! How exciting! My midwife rung me yesterday and said she’d contacted the Early Pregnancy Unit and they booked me in for a scan today! So Ste came up and met me at work and we went up. It was amazing, I was so nervous it was unreal! She said they’d do another pregnancy test to be sure and I really thought it was gonna be negative even though I’ve done four tests now that were positive!! But as soon as they started looking it came up and you could see the little heart beat straight away! It was amazing!!! It’s only a tiny blob at the minute… measuring about 10 mm!But its definitely there and everything is where it should be, and it’s all fine! I’m just over 7 weeks gone, about 7 weeks and 3 days they think, which would give me a rough due date of 19th January next year. I’ve even got a couple of little pictures, even though there’s not much to see, it’s really nice! I’ve still got to go for my dating scan at around 12 weeks to give me a definite date, but my midwife will arrange all that when I go for my booking appointment. The EPU staff are also going to refer me to the Consultant because I suffered with Gestational Diabetes when I had Abigail (among other problems) so they’ve said it’d be best to be monitored so just got to wait for that appointment to come through. I’m quite pleased really because it means that I’ll be closely monitored throughout, which is really reassuring.
My sister is booked in to have her baby tomorrow, which is REALLY exciting!!! She’s having an elective caesarean because she had a lot of trouble when she delivered Alex so I’m definitely going to have another nephew tomorrow!!! Woo Hoo!! Me and Mum are going up to the hospital tomorrow evening to see them, but there’s only us and Drew’s mum going cos Carly will obviously be feeling a bit rough!!! I can’t wait to go though!!!
Other than that, life in general is pretty ok! Had a bit of a bumpy weekend with Ste (as Chelle knows) don’t really want to go into details… but he’s been in the bad books all weekend basically, but that’s sorted now and we’ve come to an agreement so no point dwelling on it! He’s all moved in now, he’s even on the Council Tax bill… so it must be official! And it’s going really well.
I’m not feeling too bad in myself, still fairly exhausted most of the time… I only walked round Meadowhall a couple of hours last week and had to sleep all afternoon to recover, and work is really tiring me out. I had last Thursday, Friday and Monday off so it’s my first day back today… It’s like 2.45 pm and I could literally fall asleep at my desk! But, on the plus side, still no real sickness! I’m still feeling sick some of the time, but not actually being sick!
I’ll try and get the scan pictures on here soon but got to get a new dongle thing first! Lol!
See ya soon…. XxXxX
