What’s been happening since I turned 30?

Nothing much, I'm only pregnant can you believe! There was me thinking it would take a while and how long did it take, a couple of months :-) shock.

I know this was never going to happen to me by accident and its down to planned military precision and all that, but it’s still a shock to my system to think there's actually something growing in there!

Well I’m officially 21wks and only now am I beginning to entertain the idea that this is actually happening to me. The midwife thinks I’m bonkers, I've seen the little thing FOUR times and heard its heartbeat at least SIX times...on the sound of the heartbeat at my last appointment she commented "well unless that's a puppy in there" but it just still doesn't seem real.

I hardly suffered with sickness/tiredness in the first 12wks (I know, don't wish it upon yourself) and now only slightly showing in the belly department, but have felt it kicking for the past two weeks which is a nice occasional reassuring comfort that all’s well.

Much debate over my due date between the clinic & the hospital. We went from the 2nd April to 26th March, but we're now sticking with the 29th March on the measurements of the baby. We'll see, at least we know roughly when to expect some action.

Half way and much to be excited about but I'm no natural and already saying never again...but as I'm reminded, I haven't done anything yet - oh dear. I'm really not sure I'm cut out for all this. No regrets and I am sure I'll be reflecting this time next year on the greatest achievement of my life so far.
