Week 18

17 weeks exactly

I got my bottom into gear and rang the MW yesterday to make my 16wk appointment and they had a space free this morning. Better late than never. It meant that Simon couldn't come (he likes to be involved) but he didn't mind too much.

So all in all: my bloods are all fine, BP is 110/65 which is normal for me, urine fine and I got to hear the heartbeat (with Noah led next to me on the bed!) which was sooo lovely. I haven't felt as excited and bonded with this pregnancy so far as I did with Noah but hearing the heartbeat really settled and pleased me. Plus the fact that, laying in bed last night I felt three or four VERY delicate but DEFINITE littl prods from inside. That made me all emotional. Much earlier than last time but I guess I was just laying in the right position. Very exciting!

I can't believe I'm 17wks already! At first I was complaining about how slow it was going this time round but the past 6 weeks have flown by. And I have a scan in 3 weeks to look forward to now. It's all becoming very real!
