well overdue catchup!

Yes, I've been totally slack in catching up.

All is well! I'm now 22w5d. My 20week scan was fantastic, although I did get put back 6 days as Little M was measuring a little small. But still looking absolutely fine. And we got to find out the sex, and its a GIRL! We're thrilled. The same day we had the scan we also had an appointment to book in at the hospital and have a tour. It was a bit scary, but great at the same time. So we're all booked in!

My last appointment with the obs was when I was 20w. Just the usual, nothing too exciting. Had a quick scan with the grainy scanner and all still looked good. That night I felt the first kick! It was an amazing feeling and still blows me away every time I feel her move. DH felt her move for the first time this week, he was stoked.

Stuff, we've been buying and being given lots of baby stuff. We have a pram, a bassinet, a baby bath, cot blankets and sheets, nappies, playmat and baby monitor. The MIL has bought us a cot and heaps of little pink clothes. Must admit that we've bought quite a few little pink clothes ourselves. My gorgeous sister is making a quilt that will hang on the wall and be used when she grows up a bit. Mum is knitting cute little cardigans and is going to buy us a change table. Feeling very spoilt!

My belly still hasn't grown all that much. I can still fit into my normal clothes although they are getting tight. I must take up the hems on my maternity work pants as my normal ones are now really uncomfortable. I'm hating work at the moment, just can't wait to be on maternity leave. Wish time would pass quicker!
