Half Way

It’s hard to believe really, I am over half way through the pregnancy now… just under 19 weeks and I’m due! Wow! It’s scary and mega exciting at the same time J

Been spending a fortune on baby things recently… Had a stress yesterday when I looked on the ‘Toys r Us’ and half the stuff I want for the nursery is sold out. We’re going for a collection called ‘I Love My Bear’. The cot is already bought and sat at my parents house waiting for us to get round to decorating the room, before we can put it together. Thankfully when I dragged Ant to the store yesterday afternoon they had some of the bits I want, we managed to get the matching lampshade, cot mobile and some wall stickers. Ooh and a very cute teddy. We’ve got most bits we want to get nursery sorted now…apart from some pictures which I am hoping they get in online at the end of Feb! Sooo wanted to start decorating yesterday, but that’s impossible when the room isn’t even empty yet! *giggles* Ooh I bought a towel, a blanket, some plain white vests and some bottles too! My little basket is all full now…can’t wait to get a wardrobe and a chest or something, so I can start organising things. *bounces* Will get some pictures of things soon for those who want to see.

Had my 20 week scan on Thursday… baby was being a tad awkward. Lying with his/her back to us, causing problems with all the checks that they need to do. I was being told to lie on one side, then the other, then back on my back. Baby didn’t want to move though. So I had to empty my bladder….what a relief. I thought I was going to burst, a full bladder when something is sat on it is so uncomfortable! Baby moved then, and we watched as it waved it’s arms around. Sooo cute J

I have to go back for a scan at 34 weeks though as my placenta is lying low. This can cause complications, and if the placenta doesn’t move by the next scan I will be booked in for a c-section! After much googling it does appear that in most cases the placenta does move so I’m crossing my fingers mine does. I don’t much fancy having a C-Section. Although as long as baby is fine, I’m happy!

Okay enough baby talk I think! We’re off to Edinburgh in a week, it’s going to be bloody freezing but I’m looking forward to it a lot! I’ve been once years ago for a few hours, and Ant has never been. So we decided we would give it a go. Ant did suggest Dublin and shocking as it is I said I don’t want to! I mean I love Dublin soooo much, but I have been lots. So thought going somewhere new (and cheaper) would be better! It’ll be our last holiday as just the two of us for a long while to - so we need to make the most of it.

Don’t think I have much else to tell, so I’ll stop boring you all now.
