12 Week Scan

Hi all

As it's so quiet at the moment, I just thought I'd give you an update on my
scan yesterday.

All was fine with the baby. It was super wriggly, bouncing around, rolling
over and waving - looks like I might end up with another loopy kid! More
importantly, there's just one in there! They agreed with my dates (now
12w2d) and confirmed my EDD as 3rd December.

I also saw a midwife at the hospital. I mentioned that I'm getting a lot of
pain and cramp in my calves - which I didnn't get last time until I was
about 7/8 months gone. She reminded me that this time I'm working lots
(wasn't working at all last time) and that I've got a toddler and lots of
animals to look after, and that maybe I need to put my feet up a bit more. I
also bought some gorgeous new flat sandals (like I needed the excuse! )
and that helped quite a bit. I have the next scan in 8-10 weeks, and we
should find out the sex then.

To be honest, I'm not desperate to know the sex, but DH is.... and I haven't
much room to argue, as last time I was desperate to know, and he didn't want
to, but agreed for me! He's already impatient to find out, and to stop
calling the baby 'it'! ("10 weeks? but that's aaaaaages! Big kid!)

Jessie loved being at the scan, and as soon as we told her it was a baby,
she was really excited. She's not old enough to understand that the baby's
in mummy's tummy yet (she'll be two next month), but she liked watching the
monitor

Oh well, I hope you're all well, and that those with bumps are also growing
well. Last time I was pregnant, there were loads of expectant mummies on
here, hope we find some more soon!
