Scan Day: He or She?

I had my 20 week scan today and baby is looking to be a healthy little bundle but he/she wasn't giving anything away and kept his/her legs crossed the whole time and even made the sonographer work hard getting all the measurements by being in awkward positions.

I came away disappointed as I wanted to know the sex of the baby and even the scan photos weren't very clear as you can't make much of the baby out just his/her spine, but I'm not sure the sonographer was much help anyway and not too friendly maybe because Ollie was with us causing trouble and making noise but what are you suppose to do, we had to take him with us.

As the evening has passed my disappointment has disappeared it is actually quite exciting not knowing the sex.
In my first pregnancy I had a surprise boy after being told I'd have a girl so I probably wouldn't have believed them much anyway.

Just another 135 days or so and my surprise will be here.

Showing Off My Bump

I am now 20 weeks pregnant and my bump has ballooned so my clothes have become tighter or even too small so I treated myself to some bigger sized clothes. 

I'm not too keen on maternity clothing as they are so expensive for the time you will actually wear them so I just buy a bigger size.

The Outfit

• Black with white dotty leggings £8 in Asda - I bought these a couple of weeks ago and have now seen them half price in the latest sale grrrrrrr! very annoying for a bargain hunter. I was worried what I would look like in patterned leggings as I didn't want to look silly but I love dots.
• Teamed with a simple black vest £3 in Asda
• My sandals are pretty old now as I have had them a few years but they were from H&M for £5.99

Total cost of outfit £16.99

Baby No.2 Week 18 -20

My diary over the last weeks

Week 18: 07/08/12 - I think I've had a few flutters today from baby more than normal- last couple weeks had one or two but wasn't sure if it was baby or not but I'm pretty sure it must be today. 

I've been feeling so incredibly tired today well pretty much from week 17 but I thought it was down to intense concentration at work, but 4 days off and this morning I just wanted to sleep. 

Week 19: Most of the week I have been so tired and angry towards other people, but it was a tough week as I mentioned in my last post.

I'm finding I keep waking up in the night, I guess preparing me for those sleepless nights ahead.

20 weeks

Week 20: 19/08/12 - I felt proper movements this evening which makes me feel better as I know things are okay but it also makes it feel very real.
I have to go through all that pain in 20 weeks or so - scary.

21/08/12 - Look at my bump it's huge and it's becoming uncomfortable and heavy as are my boobs.

Can't wait for my scan on Thursday :)

What a week..........

I'm now 20 weeks pregnant (well as of tomorrow) can't believe I'm half way but it sure is tiring creating a person in your belly, I just want to sleep but that proves difficult when working full time and having a toddler.

It hasn't been an easy week either due to other people. Why do people in this world have to make others a misery it's just so un-necessary. Is it because it gives them some sort of satisfaction, power, or maybe they just don't realise they do it but I'm expected to be nice to them but really how the hell are you suppose to be nice to someone who makes you feel like you will explode with anger and you just want to punch them.

I hate being a person who is expected to just get on and deal with it no questions but after being on the earth for 31 years I'm pretty sick of it. Maybe I should become a bitch, seems like that's the only way you get anywhere..... Ridiculous.

On a lighter note my little man turned 16 months and has started to say lots of words which makes me feel so proud. He says bubble, zebra, man, bathroom, giraffe, duck, doggy, and mostly daddy.

I also only have 14 weeks at work until I bugger off on maternity leave, oh I can't wait. Hopefully life will be easier then.

Baby No 2 - Week 17

Week 17 I can't believe it, the past few weeks have flown by nearly half way omg. I'm not feeling pregnant but fat at the moment, I can't believe how much weight I've put on already I'm actually only half a stone away from what I was at my heaviest with my first pregnancy now that is scary as I will be huge at the end of this one. Even my breasts are bigger I'm wearing the size I wore when breast feeding last time.

At least the sickness has gone, that was awful although I'm still feeling incredibly tired especially this week, but other than that I'm okay.

I'm starting to think of names but I never can settle on boy names. In my last pregnancy we were told we were having a girl and we had several girl names we liked and narrowed it down to Poppy or Evie but we only had one boys name "Ollie" as a just in case back up - which was a good job in the end as we had Ollie. 

Only another 23 weeks to go.
