Hello everyone! OMG it's the freaking weekend all long last!!! I think we're all feeling abit the same with the tiredness by the sounds of things!
Redrose - are you talking about Strep B?? I asked this same question on here a few days ago and doesn't sound like most people got the test. A friend of mine told me to insist on the test but i don't know at which point that happens??? I thought it was during labour???
I had my follow up heamotologist appt this morning....was expecting to see the consultant i saw last time for her to tell me about my blood results etc but when they called me in I went straight into the scanning room with a different consultant! Anyway although at my 20 wk scan they said it's prob a girl, i did come out feeling a bit of an anticlimax coz she jsut sounded so unsure...anyway they took me in today and literally were like, due to the blodd condition we must confirm that you're not carrying a boy due to the risks to the baby in labour if it is a boy. So they did a spefic sexing scan for me and it's like 99.99999999999999999% a girl!! He even pointed out her bits and said (in his dead posh voice!) "i know it's rather crude but you can see here there's a hamburger shape which is your daughters erm lips"....I had to do everything not to just crack up laughing!!!! Bless her!!! Got to see all the bits and bobs again which i kinda missed at 20wks coz the sonographer wouldn't really show me much although DH got to see most of the scan but the screen was turned away from me
Anyway i am a happy happy girl now that they are so sure and i can defo not be worried that i'm decorating a nursery for a girl that may be a boy!
Speaking of which....I haven't made a start on the nursery yet....just spent weeks and weeks picking my 'scheme' but mum has ordered the material which arrived this week to make the curtains and bunting. We're just struggling to get the room cleared of crap at the moment and we have an old crappy wardrobe we're getting rid of but need our new one for our bedroom to arrive before we can get rid! Once that's gone and the desk etc is out of there I can start painting and glossing and then get the carpet man round for that too! Oh and moving and replacing the radiator coz it's old and i want a nice new one! Can't wait to get it started but think it's gonna be end of march (maybe easter weekend) when we can get round to doing this stuff!
Jellytots....what is that thing you were talking about (ooops its on a different page and i can't go back or else i'll lose everything i've written!!)...you were saying some people have it and you didn't haveit at your last Dr but now you have to have it? OMG sorry i am being cryptic here!!!
Oh and you sound like your diet is pretty good actually....the only 'bad' thing in there is the penguin isn't it? Oh and the crisps? The rest is all good hun!
I am having porridge for brekkie now except on a friday i have a bacon sarnie. had a few McDo but only 3 chicken dippers and a sauce (no fries!)....i've been having loads of chocolate which is my BIGGEST downfall.....had a whole easter egg yesterday and gonna buy me another one on the way home from work! Sod it, it's almost easter innit??
Went to that circuits class on Weds and i still can't walk! Decided to leave all that til after I've had bubs coz it was really hard and also the whole time i couldnt think of anything other than what damage i could potentially be doing to my wee girl! I keep saying i'm gonna stick to swimming but i actually have to go before i can stick to it! DH goes every friday night for Tri-club swimming and puts me to shame (he's proper uber-fit) but i'm sure i'll be really good once i have a baby to run around after! I have now put on 17lbs and i really don't wanna go much past 2 stone but at the same time it's about how you feel not what you weigh coz lots is just water/blood etc innit?
Anywa Jellytots you inspired me....I can't go to baby yogo coz i already pay £72 a month on the gym so i refuse to pay for classes outside the gym but i have just bought a pilates DVD online so i will do that on the days im not swimming (like everday!).
I still have a yoga DVD i bought to get me toned 3 years ago sat still in it's celophane wrapper....oops!
Right....stuff to do before heading home (or should that be the pool??)......hhhmmmm will decide in a bit. Just had a cuppa and a twirl so may need to let that go down first!
Happy freaking friday y'all! xoxoxoxo
