  • OH! What was that?!? Oh, it was just gas…

    So I’m just entering week 18 and according to the books sometime between 16-20 weeks I should feel the baby and it will feel like a little flutter in my belly.  So I sit and I wait because I still can’t understand how I can have something the size of an avacado in my belly…

  • Nuchal Fold Translucency Scan

    Try saying that three times fast! We had our Nuchal Fold Translucency Scan (the scan to test for Downs) and everything seems fine. It wasn’t easy to come to that conclusion, however!! Our appointment was at 1pm in London, but I insisted on leaving early as you never know about the trains, etc and I…

  • 2nd Midwife appointment

    Had the second midwife appointment today. It was much better than the first as we really seemed to get somewhere. We’re now booked in for our Nuchal Fold scan in London (this is the big one where they test for loads of stuff including Downs). Then we have our 21-week anomaly scan booked for the…

  • 2nd Ultrasound

    Today we had our dating ultrasound and everything still looks good! More like a baby, which is nice. Roughly the size of your thumb. And it even shook it’s bum and waved it’s hand — which was AMAZING!! Due date the same as my math based on our conception date: 08 July 2007. But as…

  • 1st ultrasound

    We had our first ultrasound today. It was an internal and Lisa nearly broke Andrew’s thumb off as it felt like the technician was trying to skewer her bladder. But the good news is we are definitely having a baby (or a blob with a heartbeat that will eventually be a baby) and there is…

  • 1st Midwife appointment

    Well, we’re finally coming to terms with the idea of being pregnant. We had the first midwife appointment today. It was rather pointless as she didn’t book me in, but we were able to schedule our first scans. I’m having one later this week as I’m having just a bit of spotting. Then we’ll have…

  • The doctor said congratulations

    We went to the doctor today who just said, “If you’ve tested positive on two tests then you’re pregnant.” He then gave us a packet of information and said at the very end, “Were you trying? Well congratulations. Goodbye.” Talk about a crappy bed-side manner. We still went home and used the other test and…

  • We’re what?!?

    Well, I’ve now peed on two sticks and they both agree we’re pregnant. I didn’t believe the first one and as it had been sitting in our airing cupboard for a couple of years I was scared it was a lie. Andrew and I then immediately ran out and bought two new ones only to…
