April 15th

Well, we're between 12 half weeks pregnant and 13 and half weeks pregnant! The hospital scan has put me further ahead than I'm expecting to be... i personally think it's just a big Bambino, as my hubby was a 11lb'er when he was born! and tore his mothers insides out... oh, how I can't wait for all that stuff! :0)

We had a missed-misscarriage in November last year, so the ride to 12 weeks was a tough one. But we're here now and absolutely delighted. I'm due on the 19th October... can't wait!

I've found the first 12 weeks hard after the last mis carriage, and because I started bleeding in my 12th week! I felt pretty grim from start to finish! but looking forward to feeling better in the next trimester... and can finally start thinking about the future of this little bambino now....

11th May

Well we went for a private scan yesterday and it was wonderful, baby is measuring the correct size. 16w2d and was waving and jumping around. It was such a lovely experience, all is perfect. I've put my due date back to the 24th Oct, as I think my 12 week scan was wrong... so I shall do an extra week in week 16, but that's fine by me!

My headaches have continued and are getting worse.. I went to talk to my doctor about it and he's sending me to a Neurologist to get it checked out. It seems that I had viral menigitus 9 years ago, which left me with bad headaches ever since, and he thinks the pregnancy hormones may have stired this old viral damage up in my brain... so we'll see... fingers crossed it doesnt take too long on the NHS, cos i'm at my wits end with the pain and frequency.

Other than that, just so excited about bambino, and can't wait till he/she comes... :0)

27th May

Well, it seems that I may have turned the corner on my headaches.. i've been almost headache free for the last week or so.. so I guess it just took until week 18 to feel better.. what a relief. i can actually start to enjoy this pregnancy now. I think i can feel my baby moving around, which is exciting....

06 June

Well, I just had my 20 week scan and all is great.. baby still measuring bigger, so I have had to move my due date up to the 19th Oct, they are adament they are right! and my dates are wrong.. i still think it's just a big bubba.. otherwise it means I conceived on a 20 day cycle, which i have never in all my years had ..but hey ho.. baby will come when baby is ready! Very excited!

13 July

Well, 26 weeks today... unbelivably far along this journey... Really blown away with going into the third trimester... yikes yikes yikes. So have started to think about nursery and prams etc... Though what an unbelievably difficult decision.. there are literally billions out there. Think we are going to go for the Quinny Buzz, as we dog walk every day and live on a canal and accross the road from the beach... so 3 wheeler seems the way forward.. Can't wait until the builders leave, we currently living under an inch of dust again! but hopefully in a few weeks time.. we will be on our way to a beautiful nursery.

I'm generally feeling so much better than the first 4 months... though do get tired pretty easily. Bump is growing nicely and Archie or Annabella Long Legs is certainly into some funky dancing in there... I love feeling those kicks, elbows and yanks. No stretch marks, YET... so fingers crossed for the next few months.

23 July

All going wel, Bambino likes to kick me a lot these days, though most of the time he's quiet, so I have my fingers crossed that I have a sleeper in there! Long may it last. Generally feeling well these days, though sleeping has become hell on earth. I only sleep for the maximum of an hour and then wake up numb all the way down my side, wrestle with all my pillows and turn over to repeat the whole performance an hour later... can't imagine how much worse it is going to get in the next few months... I wake up with aches and pains in almost every part of my body.. Anyway little bub is growing well and my bump it getting higher and higher! :0)
