Hey all. My name is Kristi-Anne and I'm from Bristol in the UK. Have decided to sign up after following this site for many weeks. I am 12 weeks and 2 days today (22/02) with my first pregnancy. My partner and I, Ben, are over the moon and still can't believe we're going to be parents. I was in a baby shop today and picked up a little sleep suit, Ben put it in his arms and I literally cried.. I am so emotional at the moment ha ha, quite funny really. Good luck to all of you... This is so much fun! x

So I am officially 13 weeks today. I had my 3rd scan yesterday which was my official dating scan.. was wonderful to see our baby again. It turned it's head away so it didn't have its face in the picture, just like its parents ha ha! it wasn't as active as the 10 week scan but still a very strong heartbeat. I still can't get over the fact its growing inside me. I love it! So I'm still getting bad headaches,,, just now and again and not too sure why but I am living with them. My mum and dad bought me my first pressie for the baby - a little sleep suit set, its so cute, Ben and I have said we are not going to get anything as yet. It's so frustrating I so want to know if its a little boy or girl!

Had the midwife today and syked myself up for the 2nd lot of blood tests and found out I was too early to have the down's testing. Heard the heart beat today for the first time was nice and strong, was 160 bpm. Also had the tests back regards rubella etc.. all good, can't believe how healthy and fine I am. Oh and I've lost a pound ha ha.

Time for an update for all of u reading my page.. welcome! I am 16 weeks and a day today, feels like it is taking forever. Had another midwife appointment today for the downs screening, the blood test wasn't too bad actually she's very careful my midwife. I was weighed again and have lost another 2lbs thats a total of 3 over my pregnancy which is normal apparently shows that the baby is getting its nutrients from me. Heard the heartbeat again, was really strong ranging from 146-158 and it was moving and doing somersaults lol. My uterus is where it should be also, a couple of inches from my belly button, I'm just not showing! Have to ring up in 2 weeks time to get downs results so cross fingers, toes and anything else u can cross he he...... going to traet myself tonight to fish and chips.. i can tell its going to be a good meal. Don' see my midwife now till 25 weeks... going to miss it but find out sex 21st April woo hoo x

Monday 21st April
I had my scan today and found out it was a BOY!! woo hoo, so happy as that is what ben and I wanted. It was the best feeling in the world, all measurements were perfect and I cried... He was trying to put his foot in his mouth. I love him so much.. my little boy x
So I haven't updated this for ages..... We have booked the 4d scan... WOO HOO! Its on the 21st June, so I will get to say what my beautiful baby boy will look like, hopefully the spitting image of his gorgeous dad he he. I have a mid wife appt on Thur.. haven't seen her for 9 weeks so really looking forward to listening to the heartbeat and having a general check up. Weighed myself the other day, not a good idea, I have put on 9lbs so far.. uh oh. Never mind 15 weeks left it can only increase. Finally my bump looks like a proper bump and people are saying I am blooming. I love my bump I find myself rubbing it every five minutes. 25 weeks and counting.
Thursday 22nd May
Had my 25 week check up today. All well in the life of Alfie. I am growing fine and BP all good, urine great... and have put on 7lbs which apparently is very good at this stage.. Did find out however that the placenta is between the baby and me therefore cushioning the movements. Would explain alot of the different strengths of movements I have.. they haven't got any stronger and I was wondering the reason, now I know... He's hiding. Heart beat was 152 today so good and strong. I'm very happy x
Sunday 8th June
Why do I always worry about everything, I hate it!!! Have another midwife appt on Thurs, why i'm worried I do not know. Anyone else get these feelings?
Thursday 12th June
Had 28 week check up today, more blood was taken and think its bruised :( Placenta has moved out of way apparently as he was up front today, which was nice, I could hear his heart nice and strong. Have put on 12lbs now starting to feel like a fatty ha ha! BP and urine fine. They checked where he was laying today and he is ready head down... arghhhhh, i'm measuring 1cm smaller than should be but apparently thats nothing to worry about. Now I have my 4d scan to look forward to on 21st June...
Saturday 21st June
29 weeks and 3 days - Had my 3D scan today, was worth every penny just to see his beautiful face. All measurements were normal apart from his legs.. apparently they are very long. This meant the babies weight is above average around 3.2lbs (at this point should be around 3 she said). So if I go to 40weeks I could be looking at an 8lber.. all arms and legs HA HA! He was so cute tho... We think he has my nose, and he definately has my big toe ha ha. He also had the cutest little cheeks. For me, this has made it all the more real and I'm feeling so excited, I can't wait to buy him stuff, as I haven't even started. I want him in my arms now!!
Friday 4th July
31 weeks and 2 days today - Had a midwife appt and all is well. Iron, urine and bloodpressure is fine. Checked where he was today and Alfie is very low down, head down ready, but not engaged phew! I have put on a stone, 14lbs now. my pubic bone is really hurting too, midwife said that was due to how low he is and the pressure. Belly measuring exactly where should be.. yes!
