Week 19

18+0

Have been a bit poorly for a few days - throaty and glandy and tired and foggy with it but feeling much better today. Noah was pleased that Mummy was more 'with it' and we even managed to have a play date this morning with a girl I met at Post Natal Group with Noah and her 20 month old daughter Scarlett.

Still feel 4 or 5 prods most days which I still can't get over at this early stage. Yesterday they were stronger than they had been before and I actually noticed them while I was doing something rather than when I was lying in bed trying to feel them!

I'm so excited that it's now only 2 weeks to the scan and I'll get to see my little bean again and for the (hopefully if all is well - final time before meeting him/her). I have to say I'm back to trying to decide whether or not to find out and think I'll end up deciding on the day! I couldn't bear the tension any longer and wnt through all the newborn baby clothes I have here (Noah's and some of Isabella's) and if I decided not to find out, I have enough vests and babygros to last those first couple of months in each colour without needing to buy any!!! That's a big factor in my (I keep saying my! 'Our' if I have to!) decision.

It's just the blinking name issue. We're just so SO stuck for girls names! Names we have dsicussed include: Lily, Lydia, Lola, Evie, Ava, Freya, Isla, Amelie, Poppy, Niamh and Ruby. All of which are ok but not one I just get that 'feeling' about! We'll have some serious thinking to do if this bump turns out to be a pink one!
