12 week scan

So I had my next scan which was to screen for the likelihood of down syndrome, and typical pregnancy brain struck again. I lost my referral for the ultrasound and so I was a bit stressed and up till past midnight trying to find it. No luck. I couldn’t quite remember where the clinic was, […]

Blood test

Had my blood test this morning. This test is for several reasons…….to check my blood type and a routing test for STD’s, and also testing that goes with my ultrasound next week. It was frustrating this morning though, cuz I’m not good with needles and I need to lay down in case I pass out. […]

Baby names

I’m proud to announce that Alex and I have both decided on a girl and boy name for our child. I’m surprised at how easy it was for us to come up with 2 names. I thought there’d be a lot of disagreeing over deciding on names. There seems to be plenty of books on […]

8 weeks

I’m now 8 weeks pregnant and feeling a bit fat, although my friends assure me they can’t notice the difference. They HAVE noticed my boobs getting bigger though. lol, like I needed more of those. They’re a bit painful so I guess I got lots to look forward to there. At Alex’s request I’ve started […]
