Baby Update!

I realise that it's a while since I updated you on how things are going with the baby. Well, we decided to change the hospital I plan to give birth in. (As you may have guessed from the scan being at the L&D not in Hemel!) I was automatically booked in to Watford hospital because that is the nearest hospital to us in the county. However after talking to people we decided that Luton and Dunstable sounded like a better option. It's a lot easier to get to and the service sounds like it's better too. The L&D is in a different county though so it's been a bit of an ordeal getting sorted out there! I had to go to the hospital to get booked in there and to tell them all the information I'd already told the midwife in Hemel! I also had to have my blood taken again so they know what blood group I am and I probably have to go for another scan. It also mean I have to carry aroung two sets of notes, one for each county! It a bit of a pain, but they are just trying to make sure I'm properly cared for and that baby gets the proper treatment so I don't really mind!

As for baby it seems to be developing just fine! I feel it kicking and wriggling a lot these days, mostly on my right, just under my ribs! At my last midwife check she thought it might be in the breech position at the moment, but there is still time for it to turn around the right way!

All in all things are going well! I feel fine, getting tireder now and feeling heavier and fatter! But every day is a day nearer to being able to hold my baby in my arms!

30 Week Scan

Here's some pictures from the scan I had at 30 weeks. Normally I wouldn't have had this scan but because I've changed the hospital I plan to give birth in from Watford to Luton they wanted to double check that everything was all ok! It was really nice seeing baby again, especially as you could see a lot more detail. We even saw baby's tongue when it was swallowing! It was strange how such a normal, everyday thing made me go 'ahhh!' Pregnancy does strange things to you! Anyway, everything was fine as far as they could see and they told us baby was about 2lb! That makes me realise how much baby will grow between now and when it is born, assuming it will be about 6-8lb! Andy thinks he saw evidence that it was a boy, but I don't see how!
