27th Sept: Today i had my 5 month scan, it was so nice to see my little one again after all that time, I found out she is a Girl, and have decided to call her Eliza after my nan. When my brother was 4 months old or so, he was diagnosed with a condition called Craniostenosis, a condition where the skull fusses before the 18 month period, and so the brain has less room to move and grow, i mentioned it to the sonographer, and she said that Eliza had a slighty narrow head, only just outside the graft chart, so she wasnt to worried about it, so i have to go for another scan on the 11th Oct to check the growth of her head, everything else was fine apart from that, Im not to worried as my brother doen't have the condition that seriously, he is death in one ear, and has a slightly longer head, but no-one hardly notices it, Im sure she will be fine. I will keep everyone posted. At least i get to see her again and get extra pictures :)

13th Oct : Went to the Appointment, saw the genetics team and they asked us lots of questions, and took a family tree of me and my boyfriend, after showing them the photos of my little brother i had the extra scan, had loads of doctors check her skull and body, after all the measurements was taken they gave me the good news i wanted to hear! She wasnt effect by the Crainostenosis! We was so relieved! So now we can all enjoy the rest of the pregnancy without any worries, and i dont need no follow up scans :)

22nd Dec : Hey all, havent updated in a while, baby has finally turned after being breech for a while yay! Only got 6 weeks left now, im really excited!! Cant wait to meet my princess.

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year !! Good luck to all expecting over the xmas period !

8th Feb : Today im 7 days overdue! Midwife came and gave me a stretch and sweep, she said my cervix was nice and soft and that im 1 centermeter dialated, she also booked me in to be induced on tuesday night (12th) if i dont labour by myself. I cant believe im gonna be a mum next week! I cant wait :)

9th Feb : Hey everyone today and last night i have been losing my mucus plug!

Keep you posted.
