That's not good. There's nothing worse than feeling like your OH isn't on the same side as you
I had my 32 week growth scan. Things seem to be going well so far, she's growing nicely, estimated weight so far 3.5lb.
I was a bit disappointed to not really see much of her today, the sonographer literally just did the measurements and that was it. I didn't really feel she was approachable to ask for a picture so I left it. I was a bit disappointed for my husband as this was the only scan he's been able to come to the entire pregnancy and he didn't really get to see her lol.
Oh well, I'm fortunate enough to be able to have a scan in the first place so I won't grumble too much. I've one more scan in 4 weeks and then a decision will be made on whether to stick with original Christmas Eve section date or to bring it forward but I think if she continues to grow well like she is and move well, they'll stick with Christmas Eve.
Up to 6 weeks tomorrow either way and it'll all be over and hopefully she'll be safely delivered and in my arms. I can't wait to meet her.
I still can't think of a name for her lol

I can't believe it's up to 37 more sleeps til she is here
I am seeing the diabetic midwife tomorrow as because I've had a gastric bypass, not been able to do the GTT, I've been monitoring my blood sugar levels. It's the only way they can keep an eye on me and rule out GD but they keep me under as a GD patient anyway.
I've had a couple of high readings the past couple of days but this has been as a result of eating a bit of cake yesterday and a bagel today, both high in sugar and carbohydrate content so could explain why. My readings have been normal and within range otherwise though so I don't know if I have GD or just a couple of high readings as a result of what I've been eating.
The baby's movements are still quite extreme and she's beginning to drop a little, which I can feel when I go to stand up. I'm now at the omg, she's between the legs stage lol.
Just another few weeks, can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone.

Now back to bricking it as my dad has now decided he's not going to be able to come over from France after all for when the baby is born.
Looks like I'm going to have to go through having her on my own as no one else is available to have our other kids while my husband joins me.
On one hand, I'm accepting of the fact that these things happen, women used to give birth all the time on their own but on the other hand, I'm upset that she'll be the only one to have been missed out on birth wise. I'm worried it'll affect bonding with her for some reason? Like somehow this huge change will trigger something terrible off inside me mood wise, especially if things were to go wrong. Hopefully nothing like that will happen but I'm just so fearful.
Another 4 weeks to go on Tuesday!

I wouldn't really want anyone else other than my husband being there to be honest. So it's either he is with me or I'm on my own. I know that probably sounds fussy lol.
I have an appointment on the 12th with my consultant after my final ultrasound so I'll ask her then if she would know if it would be ok.
It's not like I want him to see all the gore, literally just from when they open me up til after she is out and weighed so he knows she is ok too.
I really hope they'll let this happen as a last resort plan if all else fails and he can't be with me.
I went to the cinema tonight to watch "Last Christmas". She was kicking about like a good'un. I think she is definitely starting to drop now as I feel so heavy.
27 days to go. I wonder what she looks like

It's not that they won't let him be there, it's the childcare aspect that could prevent him being there as we have no one to have our other children while I go in to have her. With the c section scheduled for christmas eve, it is that much harder trying to find someone to have the kids while he is with me so that's why I'm running the risk of having to be on my own. I'm really hoping that when I speak to my consultant that she will be ok with a video call at least so that he can see her being born by some kind of way even if he can't physically be in the room.
I'm on a proper count down now. It's weird, I want her out but I'm also wanting her to stay put. She is my final baby so with regards to pregnancy, she's my last experience. I'm trying to treasure each moment, even the ridiculously uncomfortable ones lol.
I'm slightly nervous over the change of routine. Max, my nearly 4 year old is going through a pattern of waking up at 4 or 5am right now and that has knocked us sideways as we were used to him settling down for bed pretty easily at night. Now he wont settle without us in the room and if we try and walk him back to bed, he's stubborn and just gets up all the time. It's hard to work out what he wants due to his non verbal autism so we just stay in the room with him now. I'm the stricter parent and he knows he can't run rings around me so he stays in bed but with my husband, he's the pushover, he can't sit with him because Max just gets up and out of bed and doesn't take him seriously when told to get back in lol. So yeah, it's down to me to lay down the law and not going to lie, it is a bit tiresome having it fall to me.
I wonder how he'll get on when I'm not here for those couple of days lol.

I hope everything goes smoothly. My DD used to have very early wake ups but luckily her sleep did improve a bit once baby was born.

This may sound crazy and i dont know how old your other children are, but could they not be at the hospital whilst hubby is in there with you? Some kind of family area, I would love to think they would accommodate under the circumstances but i know the reality is probably not a realistic situation, I would ask tho lol! x
