I looked back over my pics to try and remember what has been happening since my last post and it has been a while!
Just after the weekend at my mums me and Ant had our 12 week scan.. I was so nervous and excited for this because we'd seen the baby at 9 weeks which was awesome, but it's always nerve wracking because you just want everything to be okay! I also havent really had many symptoms of feeling pregnant.. so no sickness and just not a lot so that each day I'm like yep.. definitely still pregnant. But after googling, speaking to other pregnant ladies and mums I realised that lack of symptoms or sudden loss o symptoms is totally normal. Your hormones level go up and down all the time.. so many people say I should think myself lucky that I dont feel any different!
Anyway, me and Ant went off excitedly to the scan and it was just as we'd hoped! All looking as it should and seeing the little nug as we call it (we call our cats chickens and each other chickens and thought it quite cute that our little baby growing is a little chicken nugget hahaha!) was incredible.
The baby was sat in a funny position so the scanner lady (I should know the formal name of these people sorry!) was finding it hard to do her checks.. which was fine for us because we got extra time just watching this lil nug move around and just TRY and make it feel more real.
We got the reassurance we'd wanted and new pics and we left really really happy! I had to go for blood tests so she sent me upstairs in the hospital.. I thought I'd be in and out but it was going to be a 2 hours wait! So we went to Tesco which is opposite the hospital and got breakfast in the cafe. It was lovely because we were both beaming.
We then went over to my bestie Lois' work as she's just round the corner, and gave her one of the scan pictures. Lois is my ultimate best friend in the world and so she's fully invested in this child, she cried when I gave her the picture, just love her! We caught up and me and Ant went into the sensory room (Lois works in a children's centre) and imagined us taking our little one there one day!
We headed back, waited around for about 10 mins and got the blood test done - worked out really nicely actually as we got to bunk off work and spend the day together.
Back to work after this and I put my picture up in the General Slack channel which is an instant messaging app we all have at work.
I was so nervous but I just wanted everyone to know as I didnt want it to be a secret anymore! I put the picture up with the caption - I've never been one for subtlety and so here it is! #preggers.
I got a great response, everyone congratulating me and a few shocked faces! The team at my work are great and I really feel like I get on with everyone so it was pretty awesome to be honest.
The next day my director had bought me the book 'what to expect when you're expecting' which is really sweet.
I was going to wait to announce my pregnancy on social media for Xmas but I just couldnt wait to I added it to FB and Instagram and again.. got such a lovely response. I feel so lucky!
