Hello all.
Well, first real snow of the season, so guess how bad the roads were this morning! We allowed an hour to get to the hospital thinking it would normally take forty five minutes, it took an hour and a quarter! The traffic was horrific, so many more people opting to drive today.
Anyway, we got there a little late, but weren't waiting long. We went for the scan first - they thought I hadn't had one at 20 weeks but I told them we had. They went ahead but didn't look in as much detail as last time.
The sonographer had a look between baby's legs, I had said not to tell us what she saw, so we are still yellow... but hubby and I both think we may have seen boy bits. I'm not committing to that! I don't really know what we saw, and at the first glimpse I thought it was girl bits. So I'm not holding my breath!
Then we booked in with the midwife, had to go over all family history stuff again, just like way back in July. She needs to do my blood tests again as the hand-written results in my old notes aren't enough for their records. But I don't mind that so much as having to have the GTT
my dad has type 2 diabetes, my urine samples have all been fine, but it's their normal procedure for anyone with a close family member with it, so I gotta do it. Boo hiss.
The really good bit as far as I'm concerned is they put my due date to match the one from my LMP date
as some of you may have noticed, I had a bee in my bonnet about being put back 6 days. The midwife told us they don't adjust the dates if it's within a week at the dating scan and she actually listened to me when I said I was sure of my dates! Yay! A medical professional who listens to us women! So glad I stuck to my guns on that all along
so now my notes agree with me and say EDD: 12th March 2009
Got a couple of lovely scan pics, will upload shortly.
And now it's snowing heavily again. I think the roads are too wet for it to settle now though.
