19-10-2008 - Happy Happy Happy.........

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Hello you lovely ladies,

Wow what a week it's been, I can't beleive the difference in me! It's amazing! I feel on top of the world at the moment, healthy and happy it's grand!

I had an appointment with my consultant to discuss my factor 12 deficiancy and apparantley it shouldn't cause too much of a problem during labour they will just ensure any bleeding is controlled in the best way possible and there will be plenty of blood on stand by if I needed it. The consultant also told me that it could have contributed to my bleeding through out pregnancy as everything is so vascular so the slightest knock that wouldn't necessarily have an effect on someone else would make me bleed a little.

I got a doppler this week from doppler hire - oh my goodness.... it's fantastic!! We sat the day we got it and listened to bubbas heart beat in the comfort of our own home. It's so re-assuring - the most amazing invention.

I find out what we are having in 10 days....... can't wait! This is the next hurdle to jump over so fingers crossed bubba is healthy and growing well.

I've decided I am going to go back to work after bubba is born, I'm thinking 18 hours over 2.5 days will be a good balance.

Bubba is moving around all the time now, I can't say I feel kicking or anything all of the time, it's more like pressure moving around and when they are really down low thats when I feel a little tap.

My aim for this week is to really start eating better - more nutritious food and start going to the gym again for pilates and swimming. I've put on 7lbs so far which I'm quite proud of as I thought I would pile on the weight.

Where has all of this energy came from! It's as though it's been hiding since June! I love feeling like Kate again!

Anyways, enough from moi! Have a great week, 1 day from week 18 for me! xxxx
