Hi all,
Thank you for everyone's lovely comment. The clothes are beautiful, and I can see this little one will be a true princess, although my other half said (before we knew she was a girl) that if LO is not a boy, she'll be a tomboy.
I have been having my feet up all weekend, it makes a huge difference with my fluid retention, which has tripled my ankles and feet in size. I am working at the moment so the swelling cannot be avoided during the week, but my other half has been so good, he's been doing all the washing and cleaning around the house without any complaint.
I am ecstatic about the echo focus being gone. I spoke to my dad this morning about the results and went into detail about maybe being able to be transferred back to low care at my hospital if the next ultrasound scan comes back normal also (due to have that done on 1 July). He was like, Barbi, I don't really understand what it means to give birth in a bathtub, talk to your mum about that one. The only problem is that my mother is in Hungary right now for my brother's wedding and she doesn't have great access to a phone for me to call her, so I am restricted to using Facebook, which she doesn't have a smart phone or internet for her to be able to monitor all the chats and messages on there. Anyway, I told him to tell her everything is normal. My father's take on the excess fluid retention, drink less water, lol.
Peace, I am envious, she is just precious, not long really for me now, about 14 weeks left. Good luck with BFing, I will try to BF also, but I am not sure whether I'll be good at it. There are so many unknowns that I am yet to experience.
