Good times :)

I thought, now yesterday is gone and I can process all the memories slightly more coherently, that I would write about the interesting day I had.

It started with a bath, in a rush, because as usual I was spending far too much time on the blog and on facebook. Then it was off to see the midwife, who I think I should have seen a couple of times already but had forgotten to make any appointments.

So! I found out my blood group (O- if you're interested in that kind of thing) and was informed that as well as having to have a couple of injections during the pregnancy to prevent my body from trying to attack any further babies we may decide to have, I will also be getting pestered to give blood once baby is born. Lucky me, a rare person. I wondered which parent was primarily responsible for that genetic gem.

After that bombshell the midwife said, right, let's have a listen to baby's heartbeat :D I nearly cried when I heard it!

So, baby has been kicking, womb is about the right size for my dates, heartbeat all present and correct at 160 beats per minute, everything AOK.

Got home, told Steve at lunch, then got a phonecall from the Evalina Children's Hospital where we were scheduled to go for a fetal heart scan on the 23rd. But they were having to reschedule all the appointments for that day and two other days.... long and short of it is that we're going on the 12th instead - we get to see baby again much sooner than expected!

Then I spoke to dad on the phone in the evening and he suspects it is his fault for the O-.....

And finally baby started kicking again in the evening once we'd gone to bed, and as Steve was still awake I got him to put his hand on my stomach and he felt baby kick too!!

What a great day :)
