Trout, Clothes and Things :)
Went out for a meal Friday night, it was my nieces 18th. Had trout it was lovely, bloated me tho lol but then what doesn't :P Came home early as hubby was tired! doh lol. Anyway didn't feel queasy at all which was wonderful.
Sat morning we went for a breakfast in Asda then bought me some new (bigger) clothes. Also indigestion started or maybe trapped wind, not sure, anyway it hurts. Comes and goes but helps if I they down.
Sat afternoon my friend came round bearing pressies, ooooh :) She's kindly given me her sterilizer, bottles, changing bag and pump. We are really grateful, thats going to save a lot of money :)
Tomorrow is Dads birthday so we are off up there. :D

Garlic!
Queasy this morning but now I'm not, so made up for it by having pizza and garlic bred :) Phew stinky house now hehehe.
Watched an episode of Angel, the one with the girl that has telekinesis. Overdid it a bit yesterday so having a lazy day today, which is good but I'm bored!
Been reading the book "Not Without My Sister." About 3 girls being brought up in the cult Children Of God. Sick people. Look it up. Rose Mcgowen was brought up by them, she left (got away?) when she was 15.
Can't wait till midwife app, I read that I might get to hear the heartbeat :)

14 Weeks Today!
"Crown to rump, your baby is about 8cm long and weighs 43g. Her body is now growing faster than her head. This week, her parchment-thin skin is starting to cover itself with ultra-fine, downy hair that usually disappears before birth (lanugo) (Medline 2009). Though her eyebrows are beginning to grow and the hair on top of her head is sprouting, this hair may change in both texture and colour after birth.
About now, your baby can grasp, squint, frown, and grimace. She may even be able to suck her thumb. These and other movements probably correspond to the development of impulses in the brain (Medline 2009; Visembryo 2006).
If you haven't yet made an appointment for maternal serum screening (also known as the triple test), you may want to do so now. The test provides more information about your baby, and screens for Down's syndrome and other conditions. Also, your obstetrician may recommend an amniocentesis between 15 and 18 weeks for women over 35. If you are over 35, have a look at our article on how age affects pregnancy."
Wheres my so called energy I'm supposed to have now? hehe, no sign of it. Also morning sickness should be going. I think they should re-write everything there is about pregnancy lol. They talk as though you can run marathons during 2nd trimester!!! pfft! lol
Most definitely still have morning sickness, twice yesterday with queasy in between. Queasy all weekend and before that diarrhea. Also many headaches, last nights was painful. The things we have to put up with! lol.
Apart from that lot I am well, bumps growing, it fascinates me I have to keep holding it hehe.
Booked midwife for 2 weeks time and have an appointment at the Obstetrics Dept at the hosp on the 22nd. I queried about my bowel being stuck to my womb when I saw the midwife last, so thats prob why i have that appointment. I was totally confused when the letter came through the door, wondered what on earth it was for lol.
Hopefully the radiator piping is being done in the 2 bedrooms Saturday. That means we can get the new flooring down and start buying things! yay :) Nursery is still going to be an animal/jungle theme sort of, well thats the plan lol. I have lots of cuddly lions and tigers :)

13 Weeks!
Had the scan this morning, actually turned out to be 3 scans hehe. First time in the baby wasn't in a very good position so they sent us away for half an hour. Ouch bladder! Went back in at 9.45 and she had another look and said my bladder was too full! lol, so off to the loo, back in again. This time bub was in a better position and she took 4 pics.
She said I'm further along than 12 wks as baby was almost 3 inches. So the due date has changed to 23rd February.
So here's the pics :-
They are really clear, you can see the feet, the ear, tummy hehe. Looks like bub's blowing raspberries in this one. :)
In the 4th one it looks like bub's playing with his foot hehe.
12 Weeks
"Your baby's face is beginning to look more human, even though she is only about 2 inches / 5.5 centimetres long from her crown to her rump and weighs slightly less than half an ounce/ 14 grams. The eyes, which started out on the sides of the head, have moved closer together. The ears are almost in their normal position on the side of the head. The liver is making bile and the kidneys are secreting urine in the bladder. The fetus squirms if your abdomen is prodded, although you cannot yet feel movement. Fetal nerve cells have been multiplying rapidly and synapses (neurological connections in your brain) are forming. The fetus has acquired more reflexes: touching the palms makes the fingers close, touching the soles of the feet makes the toes curl down and touching the eyelids makes the eye muscles clench. Your midwife can now feel the top of the uterus, also known as the fundus, low in the abdomen. As you enter the second trimester, you may find yourself donning looser, less restrictive clothing. Soon you won't be able to fit into your regular clothes any more. You may now find that once the "sickness" feeling has passed, your appetite returns. Check out how to eat well over the next few weeks. "
and
13 Weeks
"The fetus is now nearly 3 inches / 7 to 8 centimetres long from crown to rump and weighs nearly an ounce / 23 grams -- about half a banana. Its unique fingerprints are already in place. And when you poke your stomach gently and she feels it, your baby will start rooting -- that is, act as if she's searching for a nipple.
If you're having a girl, she now has approximately 2 million eggs in her ovaries; she will have only a million by the time she's born. She'll have fewer eggs as she gets older, and by age 17, the number will have dropped to 200,000.
As for you, the fog may be lifting, so to speak. For many women, the side effects of early pregnancy -- frequent urination, intense fatigue, nausea -- diminish sometime in the second trimester. Your uterus, while large enough to announce to onlookers that you're indeed pregnant, isn't so huge that it gets in your way. Even though birth is months away, your breasts may already start making colostrum, the fluid that will feed your baby for the first few days before your milk comes in.
Questions, questions? Try chatting with other mums-to-be on our birth clubs and find out how others are feeling at your stage of pregnancy.
• Note: Experts say every baby develops differently -- even in utero. These fetal development pages are designed to give a general idea of how a fetus grows in the womb. "

Will I explode? lol
For this scan Tuesday they want me to drink a LITRE of water! Thats a lot. The last scan I had was only half a pint and that was bad enough. Even worse at the moment where I'm in and out of the loo constantly hehe. This will be an experience lol, maybe I should wear a nappy :P
Morning sickness seems to have died down again, I really shouldn't say that! lol. They say the uterus pops over the pelvic bone from 11 weeks and I'm pretty sure I can feel it.
The visitor cat is still coming in everyday for breakfast, I've managed to stroke him the last couple of days, before, he would just run away. He's getting braver :)

11 Weeks Today
"You're getting close to the end of the first trimester. Most of the baby's critical development will be behind you after the next couple of weeks, and the odds of miscarriage will soon drop considerably.
Measuring from the crown of his head to his rump, your 1.5-inch/ 4-centimetre fetus has all his parts, from tooth buds to toenails. Your baby is busy kicking and stretching; his movements are so fluid they look like water ballet. Fingers and toes have fully separated. Now the fetus's main task during the next six months will be to grow larger and stronger until it can survive on its own outside the womb.
A dark vertical line of pigmentation, called the linea nigra, may appear on your abdomen. Your uterus has risen above your pelvic bones and your midwife can now feel it during an external examination."
I seem to have stopped being sick, now I've said that it will start again lol. Last time I was sick was Wednesday 5th. I worried a bit but I'm sure everything is ok. Still have all the other symptoms lol. My appetites come back, I'm hungry all the time. Going to have to be very careful not to pile the weight on hmm.
Scan is next Tuesday and I can't wait.
Update
Ignore what I put, my honey nut cornflakes just hit the loo, yuk :(

Soggy Day Today
Rain, rain and more rain!
The cats are annoyed with me because its raining, they don't understand its not me doing it lol. The visitor came in again this morning, i'm sure its a stray, it was starving. I was sat on the floor chatting to it and letting it finish our cats leftovers and biscuits. It looks ok, but very hungry. Whoever it belongs to isn't feeding it :(
I'd adopt him (her) but its terrified of people, flinches constantly. Our cats don't seem to mind it, in fact it was Ash that was hanging out with it first lol. We thought it was him, looks very similar hehe.
Very queasy day yesterday, felt sick all day. My dinner went down the loo:( and did so much heaving my throat was sore.
I'm not sure which is worse, being sick or spending all day feeling sick. Annoying. I complain, but when I'm not sick I worry lol doh!

10 Weeks Today!
"The fetus is only about 1.2 inches / 3 centimetres long from crown to rump and weighs less than a sixth of an ounce / 4 grams. Even so, it's busily swallowing and kicking. Each day more minute details start to appear, such as fingernails and peach-fuzzy hair.
The vital organs -- the liver, kidneys, intestines, brain, and lungs -- are fully formed and functional, while the head is almost half the length of the entire body. The forehead temporarily bulges and sits high on the head, but later will change into a more human-like feature.
If you could take a look at your baby this week, you'd be able to see the clear outline of his spine. Spinal nerves stretch out from the spinal cord.
Your uterus is now the size of a grapefruit. With the help of a Doppler, a hand-held soundwave stethoscope, you can hear the fetus's rapid heartbeat -- one expectant mother likened it to the sound of tiny horses galloping.
You will soon have your booking-in appointment where your blood will be taken for routine tests. Find out what they are testing for."
Almost 3 months, wow, time is flying :)
I have a scan on the 18th then I have to book midwife again for around the 9th September.

Booking Bloods
Went to the Hospital this morning to get my booking in bloods done. The lady on reception didn't quite know what I was on about lol and tried to send me over to the other building for blood tests.
Anyway went to the birth centre and they did my blood there. The nurse was nice and I don't think I am going to bruise, I normally do. I got excited when they said they could do a scan too if I wanted, but then i had to say I had a scan day booked.
Morning sickness seems to be every day now and I also had the other end joining in Saturday, not much fun! I was slightly amused when hubby had an upset tum too :P No that wasn't sympathy tum it was down to drink, even though he says it was from drinking too much juice lol.
I've decided if I am feeling sick, nothing is going to stop it, it just prolongs the annoyance a bit longer :) So better out than in definitely. I hate the days where I'm queasy all day and then sick in the evening, that's the worst.
Seeing as I am moaning about bodily complaints hehe, I have one of those annoying headaches. It started yesterday, went through the night and it's carrying on today grrr. Tried to sleep it off awhile ago , but no luck. Now I'm trying crisps and a mars bar lol :D
