hello everyone hope you're all good today
Its so strange now its July its starting to hit me that i will be having a baby in about 2 months!! aargghh!! I can't believe i am 30 weeks pregnant, its madness!
I just got a letter this morning saying my Surestart grant will be in my bank tommorrow which is really good, i only sent it a week ago! I am going to buy all the bedding and curtains etc. for babys room. I can't decide between the please look after me bear at mothercare and a similar one in babies r us! i love baby shopping!
I had my much awaited 4D scan at babybond in manchester yesterday and it was completely rubbish! I spent an hour getting from the other side of manchester on sweaty hot trains and trams then had to sit waitng in a sweltering waiting room for 25 mins! Then we went into the room, the sonographer barely spoke to us at all and didnt explain a thing
Baby had his hand in front of his face so she kept really roughly trying to get him to move with the scanner thing, all the while just completely not speaking! After about 15 mins we were done, they gave us a dvd and 5 black and white pictures which hionestly i couldnt make a thing out on! We then paid £20 extra to have two of the pictures in colour. The 'growth report' we were told we'd get was an A5 piece of paper with a tick next to 'heartbeat' and 'fetal movement' and a circle round a little picture of which way the baby was lying.
I had asked the sonographer what the babys estimated weight was and she didnt tell us, so i asked the receptionist if she could find out, so we had to wait another 25 minutes while the sonographer scanned someone else, so she could tell us. Well that meant the receptionist coming into the busy waiting area saying loudly 'baby weighs 3lb thanks for coming, bye'.
I had to stop myself crying all the way home, i was so angry and disappointed. We paid a total of £169 and in all got 2 shots that are clear enough to show people, and we wouldnt have got them if we hadnt paid extra! I would definitley not reccommend baby bond!
Sorry for the rant everyone i just feel really sad about it all! I don't feel anymore bonded with my baby than i was before, because i could hardly see him!
I will attach the two decent pictures i got yesterday of my little man. I can't believe how much he looks like his daddy! xxx
