How exciting Gemini! Enjoy it and can't wait to see your pics x
I'm back to the docs in the morning, my sick note expires tomorrow but think he'll prob sign me off again as I'm still very sick. I've had a couple of days that haven't been quite as bad as usual, but they were followed by very bad days where I couldn't keep anything down at all.
What's everyone hoping to do about feeding by the way? I'm really hoping to be able to breastfeed this time. I breastfed Holly for 2 weeks, but she was severely jaundiced and was a poor feeder because of that (makes them very sleepy and she fell asleep after a few sucks each feed) and so as a result the jaundice got worse and worse. In the end she ended up back in hospital and they advised me to top up with formula so she'd get better and so my milk dried up as she was such a poor feeder anyway. I was heartbroken as I really wanted to continue breastfeeding for at least 6 months. But hey ho, bottle feeding was fine and there is certainly nothing up with Holly! This time though, I'm hoping to give it another go.
Also, those of you who've had scans, have you had your 20 week scan appointment dates? Mine is on 13th January! Friday 13th ha ha! I wish we could afford a gender scan this side of Christmas, but we can't so we will be waiting until 20 week scan to see if they can tell us then. Then we'll prob save the private scan for a 4d one at 28 weeks like last time We had a gender scan at 17 weeks last time, but they couldn't be totally sure so ended up having another anyway at 22 weeks!!
