Week 26

25+2

I had my MW appointment on Tuesday - the first one Sy has managed to make it to as it was on the split between his shifts. All is well, BP fine, heartbeat good (although while listening to the heart the MW did ask if it was definitely a girl which worried me!!). I'm measuring 27wks instead of 25 which is fine. I was always 1cm over with Noah and I was much slimmer then so I didn't think an extra 1cm was too bad!

The bad news is I have to have a glucose tolerance test next monday. Luckily the MIL is off work and can have Noah for the 2 hours it takes. I'm not looking forward to it though! The MW said when I booked in that I wouldn't need one but she's obviously changed her mind!

24wks: Bump

Week 24

23+0

Briefly....

Cooking a gymnast. Still peeing frequently. Heartburn has arrived. Bump endlessly expanding. Simon's life in danger - hormones raging! Finally have a shortlist of a few names - need a few more though! Doing well and happy! Midwife Christmas Eve!

Week 22

21+5

This girly is going to be a footballer! She is soooo wriggly and kicks so hard already and so often - much more than Noah did at this stage. I can now feel it from the outside as I know when she's doing it although Simon can't yet.

We've done a few bits of shopping for pink things and have got a couple of dresses. I just couldn't resist. And ohmygoodness the little tights are so cute!!! I still feel a bit strange looking at girlie things though. Stills feels a littel bit unnatural. I have boy experience and Mummy's and boys have that special bond don't they? Plus Noah is my first and I'm so worried that I don't feel excited enough! I AM excited but worried what having a girlie will be like and what kind of bond we'll have. I'm sure it'll be fine!

My back is starting to get the slightest bit achey now when I've been at work all day. As are my feet. I don't sit down at work much - even on my lunch hour I'm busy getting things done. At least it's only one day a week.

Am still weeing for England! They should do some kind of pregnant women's olympics!
