Had a scan yesterday which was great. technically it was a nuchal scan to check for downs syndrome risk but knowing i'm in a low risk category anyway, for me it was a good excuse to have a look at the baby. last scan i had 5 weeks ago showed nothing but an indistinct blob. what a difference this time! clear baby wriggling around so much the lady doing the scan had trouble taking any measurements. hubby winced when he saw baby put 2 feet up against the wall of it's sac and push. even though i can't feel it yet he said 'wow, imagine how much that's going to hurt when you can feel it' thanks hon!
morning sickness has been back this week, along with extremely painful trapped wind no matter what i eat. not much fun but the scan pic has made me realise that it's not just a bundle of symptoms, i'm growing a whole new person in there.
it may be the third baby but i was so excited i wanted to stop everyone i saw and show them the scan pic!
i think i'm starting to fall in love with this little being

10 weeks
well it's been an exciting 24 hours. last night miss 5 bumped her wobbly teeth and managed to bump 1 right out, when i saw the other was horizontal i quickly whipped that one out too so in the space of a few minutes she lost her first 2 baby teeth. she was very upset for a while until i explained about the tooth fairy and then she was fine. she looks so strange with a big gap at the bottom where they used to be.
secondly, today i had my second midwife appointment and my midwife said she'd had a quick try to find the heartbeat although she did stress it was probably too early and that she could usually only pick it up so early in very 'fine' women (for 'fine' read 'skinny' which i am definatly not). amazingly after a minute or so skidding around she found it! so exciting!
added to that, for the last 2 nights i've been able to get to sleep without having to throw up first and have had 2 days now where the nausea hasn't seemed too bad. it's starting to feel like i am going to be able to do this again.

9 weeks 2 days
haven't had the best week for nausea and tiredness but am definatly looking forward to being on the downhill leg of heading towards 12 weeks. being in January definatly helping as my 12 week date is 27th Jan and that's starting to feel like it's attainable.
seeing the midwife next week and i'm wondering when it is that you can start hearing the heartbeat. i should remember all of this from last time but i don't. it's still just as exciting knowing i'm going to hear the heartbeat soon! off to look it up now to check!
