Ok, so Wednesday this week was the day of reckoning and thankfully it turned out to be a good one. After a good 15 -20 minute look around with her ultrasound, the sonographer gave us the all clear for our 12 week scan and so it looks like B is finally going to be a big sister come July! For me, it’s a huge relief as ever since finding out (4 days after the laperoscopy/hysteroscopy last November!) I tested myself as there was a spare one and my period hadn’t come and was hugely shocked when it came back positive. The morning sickness then came (no physical sickness but just huge feelings of sickness which could only be conquered through eating – I know, where’s the logic in that) and with the added concern that I had a tube blocked and the miscarriage in 2010, I was convinced it was an ectopic. A scan at 6 weeks though showed a heartbeat and that everything was where it should be followed by a private scan at 8 weeks which confirmed the same (and which massively eased my worry) but waiting for Wednesday to come around despite an ever increasing abdomen has been torture. Al told B that evening and ever since all she has done is chat about the baby and how she’s going to change the poo nappies and sing it rock a bye baby. Even picking her up from afterschool club on Thursday I was presented with a tissue paper present containing loads of toot bits as a present for the baby. I think she’s going to just the best big sister there can be especially by the raspberries she was blowing on my stomach and the chatting to my tummy to the baby she was doing this morning. I just hope now that the next 6 months pass calmly (am feeling much better albeit knackered) and that come the Summer we will have our second and final addition to our family.
Very happy days despite the weather taking a turn for the colder and it being absolutely blinkin freezing at the moment. You certainly can’t have everything but for the moment I am most content.
