stick a needle in me, i'm done

got to love the four weekly appointments. fortunately no bloods this time but did get to hear baby's heart and provide a pee sample.

the weeks just fly by

i can't believe it's already week 23. and christmas eve to boot. last time i knew exactly whereabouts in the pregnancy i was, but this time i don't have time to think about it. not even peeped at a pregnancy guide. my days just go something like this

• realise i haven't needed to wash my hair for a week: good day (strangest pregnancy side effect)
• crying in the shower for no (non hormone related) reason: bad day
• waking up to find superted and bones are my new best friends: bad day
• no beer fear following the office xmas party: good day
• waking up in agony type leg cramps: bad night
• full night sleep without baby #1 getting me up: great night
• out of my clothes, not yet into maternity gear: bad look day

you get the picture...

hello world

today i officially am halfway. that's 20 weeks to the peeps in the know. to others, its four and a half months.

i'm pretty chuffed. got the worst vomiting bug ever just after writing my last post [one of my excuses for not writing in a couple of weeks] and whilst this wouldn't have chuffed many people i had the joy of feeling the baby kick for the first time after a mammoth hurling session...not the nicest way but still, it's a way.

so things are rosy. had the second scan this week and everything is mint. ruddy brilliant. as self diagnosed my placenta is sitting at the front - gotta love the web for telling you things sometimes.
