Time Flying

This time round, it feels like the pregnancy is flying by. I don't know why. Maybe because my first one keeps me very busy. As this probably will be my last pregnancy, for some reason, I want it to last long and to enjoy it. I know it sounds silly.

This baby is moving less than my first one used to, which is worrying me all the time. I can't wait for the next appointment where I can hear the heartbeat again.

It is very strange but ever since I know that it is a boy and I hear of tales how boys love their mother until they get married and then they become part of their bride's family (which I know is more than a tale, it is true!), I am already feeling jealous of my boy's future girlfriends and wife!!! 

It's a ....

BOYYYYY!!!! This time around I wanted to find out. With my first, it was a surprise and a lovely one at that. Now I will have one of each. I am so happy. I have already went through my daughter's old baby cloths and thankfully there are quite a few neutral ones that I can use the second time around.

Tummy Bug

Just as when I thought all my troubles and pain were done and dusted, I caught a tummy bug, which made me truly miserable. Even worse, it made me worry about the baby again who I hadn't felt move for about 3 days. So the maternity clinic told me to go to A&E. At Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, they were absolutely wonderful. They put me in ultrasound immediately and found the baby's heartbeat. There was also a gynecologist at the A&E who checked everything and eased my worries. They asked me to come back for another scan the following day. Everything went very smoothly. I was truly impressed with the service and the care they have given. They put me at ease. Thankfully, the tummy bug cleared in two days and I can now start enjoying the nausea free second trimester. 

Flutter Flutter

I can finally certainly tell the baby's movements. They make me feel so happy. I can't wait to hold this baby in my arms and kiss it. It does feel so different when they grow up (still amazingly nice but different) even though my first one is not that big either. They grow up so fast.
